Warning signs are used to give warning of possible road hazards that are difficult for a driver proceeding at a normal pace to perceive in time.

Advisory signs
Advisory signs are part of the broader category of informative signs, which provide information to drivers about the destinations and types of facilities along the roadway, as well as general information about how to use the road.
