Signs, Signals & Road Markings
Signs, traffic lights, and pavement markings tell you the rules and warn of hazards on New Jersey roads.
Sign shapes and colors
A red octagon means STOP and always requires a full stop. A downward triangle means YIELD, and yellow diamond signs warn of hazards ahead. White rectangular regulatory signs, such as speed limits, state rules you must obey.
Traffic signals
Steady red means stop; steady yellow warns the light is about to turn red. A flashing red light is treated like a stop sign, and a flashing yellow means slow down and proceed with caution.
Pavement markings
Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions, and double solid yellow lines mark a no-passing zone. White lines separate lanes going the same way; a broken white line may be crossed to change lanes when it is safe.
