Road sign images

The road sign pictures are Crown copyright images from the Department for Transport’s traffic sign images set, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The Department for Transport asks that they are reproduced accurately and not in a misleading context, with a statement that they are Crown copyright. We saved them as smaller files without changing the designs. The numbers below are the image numbers in the DfT set. Two pictures, marked “The Highway Code”, are the sign images from The Highway Code on GOV.UK, also Crown copyright and published under the Open Government Licence; for the ahead only sign we only trimmed the white margin.

How we make our questions explains the process and what has not been done, such as a review by a driving instructor.
