(red-danger, orange-construction/maintenance, yellow-warning, blue-traveler information, brown-recreational information, green-guide signs, white-route markers and regulatroy signs such as speed limit, black - one way and night speed limit, fluorescent yellow/green-crossing warning for schools, pedestrians, and bicycles.
