Cayman Islands Signs Giving Orders
Signs that tell you what you must or must not do
48 signs in this category
Signs giving orders tell you what you must or must not do on Cayman Islands roads and carry the force of law. They combine mandatory ('must') and prohibitory ('must not') instructions you are legally required to obey.
Study tip: Circular signs give orders: blue means an instruction you must follow, a red border means a prohibition. Rectangular signs, by contrast, only inform.
