to their display positions.
4.2.3 Road traffic signs are divided into static signs and variable information signs,
according to the display method of layout content.
4.2.4 Road traffic signs are divided into three types: retroreflective signs, illuminated
signs, luminous signs, according to their optical characteristics, among which the
illuminated signs are further divided into internally illuminated signs and externally
illuminated signs, according to the installation position of the light source.
4.2.5 The road traffic signs are divided into permanent signs and temporary signs,
according to the setting time limit. Road traffic signs, which are used in areas where
road conditions have changed, due to construction work or traffic accident management,
are temporary signs.
4.2.6 Road traffic signs are divided into compulsory signs and non-compulsory signs,
according to the mandatory degree of the information conveyed by the signs.
Prohibition signs and indication signs are signs that road users must follow; other signs
are only informational, such as guide signs, tourist attraction signs.
The stop-to-give-way signs and the deceleration-to-give-way signs, in the prohibition
signs, shall not be superimposed. Other prohibition signs and indication signs should
not be superimposed. For other prohibition signs and indication signs, than the stop-to-
give-way signs and the deceleration-to-give-way signs, which are superimposed on
white frameless bottom plate, they are mandatory signs.
For the stop-to-give-way signs and the deceleration-to-give-way signs, which are
superimposed on other signs, to provide the information only related to prohibition,
restriction, compliance, as a supplementary description or prediction, they are non-
mandatory signs.
4.3 Color
4.3.1 The basic meanings of the colors of traffic signs are as shown in Table 1.
the work zone OR the traffic incident management zone.
4.6.8 The height of the guide signs, which are set in the tunnel, shall be selected,
according to the design speed or speed limit. When the headroom is limited, the
information can be reduced, OR the content of a piece of sign can be reasonably divided
and set, after demonstration.
4.7 Patterns
The use of graphic signs, other than those specified in this document, is a trial sign,
which shall be implemented, in accordance with the procedures specified in GB 5768.1;
meanwhile auxiliary signs shall be added, to explain the meaning.
4.8 Settings
4.8.1 Road traffic signs should be set on the right side of the road in the direction of
vehicle travel, OR on the left side of the road in the direction of vehicle travel, OR on
both sides at the same time, OR above the road, according to specific conditions.
4.8.2 To ensure visibility, where more than two signs need to be set at the same location,
they should be installed on one support structure, BUT it shall not exceed 4 at most.
4.8.3 In principle, it shall avoid the juxtaposition of different types of primary signs,
such as prohibition signs and guide signs.
4.8.4 The stop-to-give-way signs, the deceleration-to-give-way signs, the speed limit

way signs and deceleration-to-give-way signs. Warning signs should not be set up too
much. When more than two warning signs need to be set, at the same location, in
principle, only the most needed one is set.
4.8.6 For the signs juxtaposed on a support structure, they shall be installed from top to
bottom and from left to right, in the order of prohibition signs, indication signs, warning
signs.
4.8.7 Prohibition signs and indication signs shall be placed at the beginning of
prohibition, restriction or compliance. At appropriate positions in front of the
intersection of the road segment, where some prohibition sign starts, it should set
corresponding guide signs, so that the prohibited and restricted vehicles can take action

of the board, the subjected wind force, etc.;
2) Ensure that the illumination of the sign board is uniform; there is a visual
recognition distance of more than 150 m, at night;
3) The metal components shall be qualified for anti-corrosion treatment, rain-
proof and dust-proof; the electrical components are durable and reliable, the
maintenance is convenient.
c) For external lighting, the light source is installed at the lower front of the outside
of the sign, OR at other appropriate positions, to illuminate the sign surface. The
requirements are as follows:
1) The color rendering index (Ra) of the external lighting source shall not be lower
than 80; the light source shall be specially designed; the lighting fixture and
its shadow shall not affect the reading of the sign;
2) The illuminance of the light source, on the sign surface, shall be uniform; the
