The traffic sign is a graphic drawing,created according to existing state standards. It is installed near the road to bring drivers, pedestrians and other traffic participants with the information necessary to safely navigate the existing highways.
Signs play a huge role in ensuringsafe road traffic, with their help, drivers can learn about dangerous sections of highways, about where it is necessary to reduce speed due to the high risk of an accident, about where the overtaking is allowed and where prohibited.

According to him, the driver can only move in this direction, while the effect of the sign is not relevant for route vehicles (bus, trolleybus, tram). It operates from the place where it is installed, to the first intersection, in the zone of its operation it is allowed to turn to the right to the adjacent territories and to the yard.
Prescriptive road signs 4.1.2-4.1.6 have a similar value, only in this case it is allowed to move in the directions indicated by the arrows. Those road signs on which the turn to the left is indicated, also allow to make a turn, in some cases pointers with different configuration of the direction arrows are used.
