OneMotoring states that regulatory signs inform road users of special obligations, restrictions and prohibitions with which they must comply, and that those signs are subdivided into mandatory signs, priority signs, and prohibitory or restrictive signs (OneMotoring, Driving Rules and Information).
It is compulsory to follow mandatory and priority signs to avoid penalties and demerit points from Traffic Police (OneMotoring, Driving Rules and Information).
This article records the meanings OneMotoring prints next to each pictured sign on that page. It is not a catalogue of every diagram in the Traffic Signs Rules.
