Trinidad & Tobago Warning Signs
Alert drivers to potential hazards ahead
26 signs in this category
Warning signs alert you to hazards or changing conditions ahead on Trinidad & Tobago roads — bends, junctions, pedestrian crossings, slippery surfaces and more — 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.
Study tip: Focus on the symbol inside the triangle: it tells you exactly what hazard to expect. On the theory test you are often asked to identify the hazard from the symbol alone.
