1.3.1. In the Manual, the word “must” is used to indicate a legal requirement of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (or other legislation) that must be complied with. The word “should” indicates a course of action that is recommended and represents good practice. The word “may” generally indicates a permissible action, or an option that requires consideration depending on the circumstances. 1.3.2. Section 64 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 defines a traffic sign as “any object or device (whether fixed or portable) for conveying to traffic on roads or any specified class of traffic, warnings, information, requirements, restrictions or prohibitions of any description … and any line or mark on the road for so conveying such warnings, information, requirements, restrictions or prohibitions” and stipulates that these signs be “specified by regulations made by the national authority, or authorised by the national authority”. The types of signs and carriageway markings and their appropriate use are prescribed in TSRGD. 1.3.3. “Signing” includes not only traffic signs mounted on supports (and other structures such as gantries, bridges, railings, etc.) but also carriageway markings, beacons, studs, bollards, traffic signals, matrix signals and other devices prescribed in TSRGD. tải về 2.25 Mb.
