good idea to know these codes so that you can quickly grasp the basic
meaning or intent of the sign even before you have a chance to read it.

RED means STOP. It may also indicate that some movement is not allowed.
Examples are
DO NOT ENTER and WRONG WAY.
YELLOW indicates a general warning. Slow down and be careful when you
see a yellow sign.

line painted on the road means “Don’t Cross.”
