About Bermuda road signs
Road signs are a core part of the Bermuda driving theory test. Recognising each sign, its shape, colour and the symbol it carries, matters both for the Transport Control Department (TCD) exam and for driving safely on Bermuda's roads. This page collects all 148 official signs across 7 categories. Browse a category below, tap any sign to read its meaning, then test your recall with the free Bermuda theory practice test.
Bermuda road sign categories
- Warning Signs (52)
- Warning signs alert you to hazards or changing conditions ahead on Bermuda roads, such as bends, junctions, pedestrian crossings and slippery surfaces, giving you time to slow down and react safely. They are typically triangular with a red border and a black symbol on a white or yellow background.
- Information Signs (25)
- Information signs give you helpful guidance about routes, services and facilities across Bermuda, such as parking, hospitals, one-way streets and destinations. They do not impose rules; they help you navigate and plan ahead.
- Mandatory Signs (9)
- Mandatory signs tell you what you must do on Bermuda roads: the direction you must travel, a minimum speed, or a lane you must use. Ignoring them is a traffic offence.
- Priority Signs (4)
- Priority signs establish who has the right of way at Bermuda junctions, narrow sections and crossings. They prevent conflicts by making clear which driver must give way.
- Prohibitory Signs (27)
- Prohibitory signs indicate actions that are not permitted on Bermuda roads: no entry, no overtaking, no parking, or vehicle-specific restrictions. They set the legal limits you must respect.
- Road Markings (24)
- Road markings are the painted lines, arrows and symbols on Bermuda road surfaces that guide lane discipline, show where you may or may not cross, and reinforce nearby signs.
- Traffic Lights (7)
- Traffic light signals control the flow of vehicles and pedestrians at Bermuda junctions and crossings. Understanding each light state, and the sequence between them, is essential for safe, legal driving.
Bermuda road signs: FAQ
How many road signs are covered for the Bermuda driving theory test?
This page lists 148 official Bermuda road signs grouped into 7 categories: warning signs, information signs, mandatory signs, priority signs, prohibitory signs, road markings, traffic lights. Tap any sign to see its meaning and description.
What are the main types of Bermuda road signs?
Warning signs alert you to hazards ahead, prohibitory signs set out what is not allowed, mandatory signs tell you what you must do, priority signs decide who gives way, and information signs help you navigate. Learning the shape-and-colour rules for each type makes them easy to recognise on the Transport Control Department (TCD) theory test.
How should I study Bermuda road signs?
Browse each category to learn what its signs mean, focus on the symbol inside each sign (that is what the exam asks you to identify), then check your recall with the free Bermuda theory practice test. Reviewing the signs you get wrong is the fastest way to improve.
