- A green arrow is a protected turn; a flashing yellow arrow is not, so yield to oncoming traffic. p. 8
- Flashing red is a stop sign and a dark signal is a four-way stop. p. 8
- School zones: 15 mph when the lights flash or at posted times. p. 9
- Shapes: octagon only for STOP, triangle for YIELD, pennant only for no-passing zones, pentagon only for schools. p. 10
- Work zone signs are orange; headlights are required in all posted work zones, and fines double in active ones. p. 18
