Informational Signs — 12 Signs to Know

Informational and guide signs are usually green or blue. They don’t warn you about hazards or tell you what’s required by law — they help you navigate, find services, and locate points of interest along your route.

Bicycle route sign

Marks a route designated for cyclists.

Hospital sign

Hospital

Indicates a hospital is nearby — follow the sign to find emergency medical care.

Accessible parking reserved sign

Exit number and airport direction guide sign
