Directional & Lane Control Signs

Directional and lane control signs are typically used on highways, at intersections, on private roads, in parking lots, and in construction zones, anywhere drivers need clear guidance on lane use, turning movements, or direction of travel.

Turn restriction signs include the no right turn symbol sign, no left turn symbol sign, no U-turn symbol sign, and right turn only symbol sign, each used to indicate which turning movements are permitted or prohibited at a given location.

One-way traffic is marked with signs such as the MUTCD one-way sign with a right arrow and the one-way right arrow symbol sign, while two-way traffic is marked with the two-way arrow symbol sign.

Some directional and lane control signs, such as the MUTCD one-way sign with a right arrow, are specifically designed to meet MUTCD standards, and directional and lane control signs are generally built with high-visibility reflective finishes for day and night safety along with durable, weather-resistant materials for long-term outdoor use.

Directional and lane control signs communicate specific traffic movements to drivers, such as which direction to travel, which turns are permitted or prohibited, and which lane to use, helping guide traffic safely through intersections, highways, and parking areas.

Directional and lane control signs use two main color schemes depending on their function: regulatory signs like the no left turn, no right turn, and no U-turn symbol signs use a white background with a black symbol and red circle-and-slash, while warning-style directional signs like the right turn arrow and circular intersection symbol signs use a yellow diamond background with a black symbol.

Lane closed signs, lane-use control signs, and supplemental lane signs are all available to indicate a closed travel lane, restricted lane use, or additional lane guidance drivers need to follow.

Directional and lane control signs improve traffic flow and safety by clearly guiding drivers and pedestrians through highways, intersections, private roads, parking lots, and construction zones, which helps prevent confusion and accidents.
