Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Road rules

What is the difference between a regulatory sign and a warning sign in WA?

The answer

  • They are the same thing
  • Warning signs apply only at night
  • Regulatory signs are advisory; warning signs are law
  • Regulatory signs control traffic and must be obeyed; warning signs alert you to possible dangers ahead Correct

Why that's the answer

Regulatory signs control traffic and you must obey them — a stop sign, for instance. Warning signs alert you to possible dangers ahead and are generally yellow with black lines, writing or numbers; pedestrian warning signs are usually red-orange. When you see a warning sign, slow down.
