- Road Work Ahead - This entails a reduction in speed and is there to protect the people working on the road. Usually fines for speeding in a work zone double or triple.
- One Way - This sign is pretty self-explanatory. Streets with this sign are for driving in one direction only. It's been proven that ignoring one-way signs kill more than 350 a year.
- Dead End - Driving down a road that has a dead isn't a fineable offense, but it can still be dangerous, especially if you don't know what's at the end of the road. You may get stuck or even wreck, so steer clear of dead end roads when possible.
