Regulatory Signs in Ireland
With a few exceptions, many of our road signs are comparable to those seen in Central Europe and the United States. Before driving on Irish roads, you must understand what traffic signs and road markings represent.
Regulatory traffic signs indicate the course a driver must take and the action they must or must not take. The majority of regulatory signs are circular, with a red border and black symbols or lettering on a white backdrop. Blue and white regulatory signs indicate the traffic direction at junctions.
In Irish-speaking areas, the "Give Way" (Yield) sign (a downward pointing triangle) is displayed as Géill Slí.
