United Kingdom: what its road signs look like
British warning signs are white triangles with a red border and a black symbol, the European pattern. The give-way sign is an upside-down triangle with the words GIVE WAY written on it, which most of Europe leaves blank.
Bends are marked with black-and-white chevrons, and direction signs are colour coded: green for main roads, blue for motorways and white for local roads.
The same signs are used in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Wales many signs are in English and Welsh.
