Instructions
Prepare a sheet of paper on which you will draw road signs. signs. Theoretically, it can be lined, for example a notebook. The presence of markings will allow you to convey exact proportions, while avoiding unintentional distortion. Also stock up on templates that will serve as a basis for the drawing.
The most important signs for pedestrians are the signs that regulate their movement. Therefore, start with the image of a “Pedestrian crossing” - the simplest sign from the point of view of drawing technique.
Draw a square and place an isosceles triangle in it. Free space between two geometric shapes, paint in blue.
Inside the triangle, draw a man walking along a pedestrian zebra crossing. The direction of its movement indicates the location of the sign in relation to the roadway - it always “looks” in the direction of the road.
Place the head closer to the top of the figure, mark it as a slightly flattened oval. Draw the torso and limbs in the form of thickened lines, place the legs between the zebra stripes. Paint the figure and road markings black.
Signs indicating the presence of ground and underground passages are drawn slightly differently. Using a ruler, draw a square, place the figure of a person inside it, which should remain white, while making the background blue.
A sign prohibiting pedestrian traffic is drawn in a circle. Using a compass or by hand, mark a circle, inside which you will draw a walking man. Paint the figurine black.
Thicken the border of the circle, draw it in red, cross out the pedestrian with a scarlet diagonal line so that its lower end points to the direction of the person’s movement.
The content of the service marks is placed in a rectangle with rounded edges, inside of which there is a square. The space between them is colored Blue colour, and the background is smaller geometric figure remains white.
Elements indicating a gas station, telephone, car wash, etc. are painted black. The exception is that the designation of a first aid station always contains a red cross.

- Examples of road signs
First road signs appeared along with cars. Paris is considered their homeland, where special signs and inscriptions began to be placed to avoid accidents between horses and cars. At first there were only warnings signs, then their number became more and more due to the increase in the number of cars on the roads. Now their number is very large, and the usual composition was formed not so long ago, in the twentieth century.
Instructions
You can make a sign if you have it. required material and equipment. First, find a suitable support on which the sign itself will be attached directly. It may be of small diameter, wooden beam, or it can simply be fixed to existing terrain.
Cover the base for the sign with reflective film. Stick it on a dry and clean surface without traces of corrosion. Additionally, treat with alcohol to degrease and improve the surface. The film can be applied to uneven surface, with roughness and notches. Good and quality material will ensure color constancy both in and at night. Clean the film with a detergent solution in water. After washing, rinse the film with water.
Apply an image of a road sign to the film. To do this, you can use a pre-prepared stencil or blank. The image can be made using paint, or pasted with adhesive tape of the appropriate color. After this, dry the sign, wipe it, and place it in the place where it should be.

Find the Layers panel, by default it is in the lower right corner of the program, and if it is missing, press F7. In the “Layers” tab, click the “Create a new layer” button (its icon is made in the form of an upside down paper sheet) and name it "Triangle". To rename a layer, double-click on its name, enter text from the keyboard and press Enter.
Select the “Rectangular Marquee” tool (hotkey M, switch between adjacent elements Shift+M) and use it to draw a square: hold left button somewhere in the upper left work area, drag the mouse to the bottom right and release the button. You will get a frame, the borders of which will look like “walking ants” - this is the selection area.
If you want to paint over this area, activate the Fill tool (hotkey "G", switch between adjacent tools - Shift + G), select a color (F6) and right-click inside the selection area.
Click the "Edit" menu item and then "Free Transform" (Ctrl+T) to invoke the object modification command. Transformation markers - small transparent squares - will appear in the corners and on each side of the rectangle. Right-click inside the selection area and select “Perspective” from the menu that appears. Click on the top left handle and drag it to the middle of the top side of the square. Together with the left side of the rectangle, the right side will also move towards the center. The isosceles triangle is ready.
Zodiacal The circle is very interesting because among the signs of the zodiac there are not only animals. To draw signs zodiac, you can use all your creative potential, or use the special designations of the zodiac signs used by professional astrologers.
You will need
- - pencil;
- - eraser.
Instructions
First, decide for what purpose you are going to draw signs. So, if you need to depict each sign to illustrate the horoscope, then it is advisable to use the image of the symbols and try to redraw them as accurately as possible. And if you decide to draw the zodiac along with, then you can now let your own imagination run wild and try to depict signs zodiac in a way that both you and your children will like.
All parents want to protect their kids from dangers, and one of the most dangerous places for a modern person is the road. Therefore, the ability to navigate in an area of active traffic is one of the most important skills not only for drivers, but also for children. Of course, learn all the rules traffic the child cannot, but he does not have to. Traffic signs for children with pictures will help them remember the basics and better understand what is happening on the road.
Teach children the most simple rules road traffic is necessary from the moment when they begin to cross the road, holding your hand. Draw the child’s attention to the zebra crossing and the traffic light, and tell him that only where there are road crossing markings can he cross the road.
When you go on a trip by bus, explain to him what a stop is and how to behave at it. He must also gradually learn the most important rules of the road, their operation and application in practice. At first, just point to the road signs you meet along the way and explain what they mean. And then, little by little, teach the child the basic necessary traffic rules, looking at pictures with explanations. You can do this using poems, pictures, coloring pages, and game cards.
It is hardly possible to learn all the road signs with children. It’s easier to draw children’s attention to their classification by type, because there are only eight groups and they are decorated in the same style and the same colors. Coloring books will help you pay attention to their color. When a child knows, for example, that all warning signs are triangular and prohibition signs are round, it will be easier for him to guess what the sign he encounters means.
According to the traffic regulations, which came into force in February 2016, depending on the tasks being solved and the general meaning, the entire variety of signs is divided into 8 groups. Some of them are quite close, and knowing them is more important for the driver than for the child. Therefore, we will consider six main types of road signs - warning, priority, service, prohibiting, permitting, informational.
Let's look at the warning signs. According to the traffic rules, which are valid in 2016, their task is to warn the driver about dangerous places on this section of the road. The traffic rules clearly stipulate that all of them are made in the form of a red triangle with a white background. Against this background, a symbol is drawn indicating danger awaiting the driver or pedestrian. The sign warns of the danger in advance so that the road user has time to take action.
For example, if in the warning triangle we see the figure of a child or animal, it means that there is a forest or a school ahead, from where playing children or children can run out onto the road. Therefore, the driver must slow down in advance. If a figure with a shovel is depicted in the triangle of a warning sign, it means that there is fire ahead. renovation work. And if the markings are with a pedestrian, then there is a crossing ahead. Knowing this will not hurt the child either.
Children find it interesting to look at pictures with signs, trying to guess what they mean. If he takes coloring books with warning signs, then he only needs to take 3 pencils - red, blue and black.
Priority signs
According to traffic rules, which are valid in 2016, they are different forms– and triangles, and rhombuses, and circles. Their use is addressed to drivers. Therefore, it is best for children to memorize priority signs during the game, when they play the role of drivers.
A map of the roads along which they suggest a route will help to better understand the effect of these symbols and their application in practice. Thus, through action, they are more likely to remember and understand that the yellow diamond represents the main road, and the symbols in the red triangle, which look like a wide trunk with thin branches, show the driver that this is where the main road meets the secondary road.
To color a picture depicting all the symbols of this group, yellow will be added to the 3 named colors.
Priority signs of the Traffic Regulations 2016 Road signs
Prohibiting
It is more important for children to know prohibiting road signs. As their name implies, they warn road users that they are prohibited from doing anything. All are decorated the same. According to traffic regulations, which are valid in 2016, they are in the shape of a circle, almost all with a red border.
Prohibition signs are also primarily addressed to drivers, but there are also those whose use is important for all road users, or only pedestrians. Let's look at the most common ones.
- "No entry"
It catches the eye the most and is therefore easier to remember. It looks like a red circle with a white rectangle in the center. Warns drivers that entry here is prohibited for any vehicle. “Stop, stop!” - says the sign.
- "Movement Prohibition"
The red circle with an empty white background indicates the same. The effect of this sign determines the prohibition of the movement of any vehicles in this place.
- When a specific type of transport is drawn in a red circle on a white background, it means that the ban applies only to it. Boys will be especially interested in coloring pages with these symbols. Here children need to remember the “No Bicycles” sign. A bicycle placed on a white field with a red border warns that it is prohibited to ride mopeds and bicycles here. There is a stop for cyclists here. Then he will have to walk. As you can see, traffic rules are also used for children. After all, they are sometimes drivers of a vehicle, even a two-wheeler.
- A sign that is mandatory for teaching children is “Pedestrian traffic is prohibited.” A pedestrian figure crossed out with a red stripe warns that pedestrians, strollers or bicycles are not allowed to walk here.
Road signs for children! Prohibition signs!
Prescriptive or permissive
If there are prohibitory signs, then there are also permitting ones, which show road users that, according to traffic regulations, some action here is permitted or even desirable. According to the traffic rules that are in force in 2016, mandatory or permitting signs, like prohibitory ones, are mostly round, but their color is blue. A red bar indicates that the permit ends here. Coloring pages will help you consolidate this knowledge.
It is important for children to know the following warning signs:
- "Footpath". A white man in a blue circle speaks of the beginning of a path where people can only walk. This does not mean that people play or ride scooters, rollerblades or sleds here. Here the child must follow the rules for pedestrians: do not push, walk on the right, do not disturb anyone. Poems will help you learn the rules of behavior on the sidewalk and road.
- "Bike Lane". You will recognize it by the drawing of a white bicycle in a blue circle. It means that cars are not allowed on this path, and people can walk along it when there is no sidewalk nearby.
- "Pedestrian and bicycle path with traffic separation." This mandatory sign is placed on a path where there are horizontal markings or other constructive separation of areas intended for the separate movement of cyclists and pedestrians.
Information
The next group of signs are informational. According to the traffic rules, which came into force in 2016, they provide additional useful information. They are rectangular or square. When a child takes coloring pages with pictures of these signs, he learns that they are mainly done in blue and white colors, with green or yellow occasionally used. Among them, it is important for children to remember the symbols indicating how and where to cross the road. It is useful to learn poems about this with children so that they remember the rules better.
- "Crosswalk". It's very easy to recognize him. There is a triangle on the blue square white, inside of which there is a crossing marking and a pedestrian walking along it. This is exactly how a child needs to act – cross the road where there are markings.
- Draw your child's attention to the fact that it is similar to another warning sign, “Pedestrian Crossing”. It features the same symbol, but placed in a red triangle on a white background. It is intended for drivers to slow down in advance and know that there are zebra crossings ahead. Why is it important to bring this to the attention of children? Because the information sign is located where the crossing markings are. And the warning one is at a distance from the crossing. There are no markings there, you cannot cross.
- “Overground pedestrian crossing” and “Underground pedestrian crossing”. They look similar. On the blue square there is a white staircase with a little man walking along it. Only at the overground passage the little man steps up, and at the underground passage - down. They are placed before the corresponding transition. Children need to remember that in places where there are no special markings, they cannot cross the road.
It is also useful for the children to remember the signs indicating that there is a public transport stop here. They look the same. The blue rectangle contains a white square on which the corresponding mode of transport is drawn.
- Bus and/or trolleybus stop. I saw a bus symbol in a white square. So his stop is nearby.
- Where the tram stops Remind children that the tram stop may be on a roadway and requires special attention.
- Taxi parking area A taxi stop is not so important for a child, but it is easy to remember.
Hopefully, children will not need to use knowledge of the Emergency Exit and Emergency Exit symbols to indicate the direction, distance or location of an emergency exit in a tunnel. But it still doesn’t hurt to know what the white man running towards the white rectangle on a green background means.
It will be interesting for children to learn about the existence of signs telling the name of the street or river that they see while walking, what is the distance to another city, and in what direction it is if you walk along this road. He will find application of this knowledge already at school.
Service marks
The traffic rules in force in 2016 define another type - service signs. They look the same as information ones. This is natural, because they solve the same problem - inform about services useful to people. Seeing them, everyone will understand that there is a hospital, hotel, telephone or canteen nearby. It is also important for the child to know about these signs. If he gets lost, he can find any sign using a sign. service department where they can help him.
Sign coloring pages
This is how many signs a baby needs to know. Giving him explanations in words and showing him the signs themselves is not enough for strong memorization. Poems, pictures, games about traffic rules will help. Coloring pages and poems are easy to find and print. You will find use for them both at home and in classes in kindergarten or school. But it is known that what a person does himself is best remembered. A child, of course, cannot make a road sign, but he is quite capable of coloring it. This is how, through the action of coloring, he will remember their features and color meaning.
You can download and print coloring pages explaining the meaning of road signs from the Internet. After the coloring books acquire color in the hands of the young artist, they can be used as cards for the game.
Road signs perform the function of ensuring road safety and are standardized graphic images. Road signs are installed along the edges of the roadway. They are designed to inform drivers as well as pedestrians necessary information, relevant for a specific section of traffic.
Road signs in different countries often differ significantly from each other, despite the fact that in most countries their general principles match up. There are two main systems of road signs: Anglo-Saxon and European. In our country, as well as in European and many other countries, the signs and signals used are developed in accordance with the requirements of the Vienna Convention.
Road signs used on Russian roads are established by traffic regulations. Last changes, relating to road signs and designations, have been included in this document since 2006. The Rules introduced 24 new signs, as well as 18 types of signs that already existed before.
The following groups exist:
- 1. Warning signs.
- 2.Priority signs.
- 3. Prohibitory (restrictive) signs.
- 4. Mandatory signs.
- 5.Signs of special regulations.
- 6.Information signs.
- 7.Service signs.
- 8. Additional information signs.
Every driver is required to know what road signs mean. But if you rarely encounter any signs while driving, they begin to be forgotten. Therefore, it is best to have a table of road signs at hand, and also periodically review the information contained in it.
Traffic warning signs pictures with explanations
They perform the function of informing drivers that there is a dangerous road section ahead, and when driving along it it is necessary to take appropriate safety measures. Basically, these signs are made in the form of white triangles, the top of which is directed upward, and the sides have a red border.
Traffic priority signs pictures with explanations
These images establish the order in which vehicles must pass through intersections (intersections, narrow road sections). These signs are characterized by special shape, distinguishing them from all others.
Prohibiting traffic signs pictures with explanations
These images introduce (or, conversely, cancel) traffic restrictions. Most of them are made in the form of a white circle, which is framed by a red border.
Mandatory traffic signs pictures with explanations.
They are installed near the place where one or another regulation applies. They can be repeated if necessary.
5. Signs of special traffic regulations pictures with explanations
They introduce (cancel) certain modes in which movement should take place.
6. Traffic information signs pictures with explanations
They are installed in order to warn traffic participants about the location of certain important objects (primarily settlements). In addition, they indicate in what mode traffic should be carried out on a given section of the road.
7. Traffic service signs pictures with explanations
These images indicate the presence of service facilities along the route (gas station, camping, etc.)
8. Additional information signs (plates)
They are made in the form of signs, installed together with other signs and perform the function of clarification or limitation.
Didactic game on traffic rules for older preschoolers “Road signs”
Netkacheva Elena Sergeevna, teacher, MBDOU Kindergarten No. 34 “Bell”, Mozdok, North Ossetia-Alania.
Description: This didactic game will be useful for educators and parents to study and reinforce road signs.
Age: The playbook is made for preschool children.
Goal and tasks: Teach and reinforce children's knowledge of road signs. Develop attention, thinking, memory.
Material: The game consists of cards and elements of road signs. Each card shows a road sign, with its silhouette underneath the sign.
Progress of the game:
The game can be played by one, two or more people. The presenter conducts the game. The presenter talks about the meaning of each sign, or invites the children to remember and talk about them. Shows and explains their shape, color, name, purpose.
After explaining all the signs, the presenter distributes cards.
Then the presenter shows an element of a road sign and asks: “Which sign has the same element?”, “What is the name of this sign?”
If the answer is correct, the element becomes game card. The game is considered over if all participants in the game have filled out cards.
To make it easier for players during the game process, cards with signs can be cut.

Learning traffic rules is interesting and fun with Pustunchik. Join me and I will take you to the exciting and interesting land of Road Signs for Kids.
CROSSWALK
This is perhaps the most important sign for a young pedestrian. It shows that you can cross from one part of the street to another. However, remember that you only need to cross the street when the traffic light for pedestrians is green.
Before crossing the road, turn your head to the left to make sure there is no car driving nearby. When you reach the middle of the road (before the markings), make sure there is no car on the right. If the road is clear, feel free to cross to the other side.
In addition to ground crossings (the usual zebra), there are:
Underground;
Overhead.
CAUTION CHILDREN!
This sign tells the driver that children may run out onto the road, so driving at high speed is prohibited. You can usually see such a sign near a school, kindergarten or playground. However, this does not mean that you can cross the road here. You can cross the street only in a specially designated place - at a zebra crossing.
Under no circumstances run out onto the road! Is it dangerous.
CYCLING IS PROHIBITED
If you see a sign on the road with a bicycle in a red circle on it, so as not to become a violator, get off the bicycle (scooter, moped) and take it to the required place.
NO PEDESTRIANS
This sign is often installed on roads with particularly busy traffic, where there are no sidewalks or curbs. Walking on such sections of the road, much less crossing to the other side, is life-threatening.
MEN AT WORK
A man with a shovel in a red circle signals road work: repairing asphalt, trimming branches from trees, or any other work taking place directly on the road surface. It is strictly not recommended for children to walk near it, because branches may fall, hot resin may be spilled, or stones may fly, so there is a risk of injury.
TRANSPORT STOP
A sign with a bus, tram or trolleybus on a blue background shows that only in this place you can get on or off the transport.
PEDESTRIAN ZONE
One of the most important road signs for children is the “Pedestrian zone” sign. Cars are prohibited from driving here, only pedestrians are allowed to move. Please note that on such a section of the road there should be two signs - the first signals the beginning of the pedestrian zone, and the second - its end.
Remember! To avoid getting into an unpleasant situation on the road when going to school or kindergarten, leave the house in advance. This way you won’t rush, you will carefully monitor road users and pay attention to all the signs. Bon Voyage!
