| | Traffic sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Singapore's road signs tend to be similar to those of the United Kingdom, with triangular warning signs and circular signs as restrictive signs. | | | Triangular signs are used for warnings and circular signs are used for prohibitions. | | | It is gradually moving toward internationally-accepted signs; it abandoned, for example, a localised version of the "no parking sign" (with a Hanzi character) and used the blue-red cross sign as of the late 1990s. |

| | MAINTENANCE OF SIGNS AND SIGN SUPPORTS |
| | Regulatory signs are the most important to the driver because they represent the laws and regulations that are enforceable. | | | When signs are damaged, bent or vandalized, you have to determine if the sign should be repaired, replaced or left as is. This is usually a field judgment-more often than not, it is cheaper to replace a badly damaged or unreadable sign than attempt many repairs. | | | A sign may require replacement, an additional sign may be added or a whole sign assembly (sign(s) and support) may require replacement. |

| | The signs are all positioned for maximum visibility along frequently-traveled roads, and only one sign theft has been witnessed during daylight hours, so Cox presumes that most thefts have occurred in the late night hours when traffic is lightest. | | | Campaign workers acknowledge that the high theft rate may be attributed to college students stealing the signs because of the connotations of ‘Weed’. | | | However, when ordering fewer than 50 signs (to replace the stolen signs) the base price of each sign is about $50, and $25 more to erect it, making the replacement cost $75 per sign. |
