  • 00:00:00
    hey it's jacn and I'm so lucky that I
  • 00:00:02
    get to be your driving instructor today
  • 00:00:05
    I bet you came here because you have
  • 00:00:07
    specific questions about street
  • 00:00:12
    signs so we're going to review all the
  • 00:00:15
    street signs that you had to memorize
  • 00:00:17
    for your permit but maybe you haven't
  • 00:00:19
    seen since we're going to drive in an
  • 00:00:22
    area where we'll be able to see the
  • 00:00:24
    street signs and also just really be
  • 00:00:26
    able to understand why it's so important
  • 00:00:28
    that we understand what the street signs
  • 00:00:30
    mean the most common street sign we're
  • 00:00:33
    going to be looking for is the stop sign
  • 00:00:35
    which is painted bright red and is a
  • 00:00:37
    hexagon shape when we're approaching an
  • 00:00:40
    intersection we also look for the back
  • 00:00:43
    of that stop sign shape which will be
  • 00:00:45
    silver and hexagon shaped and that helps
  • 00:00:48
    us know who has stop signs and who
  • 00:00:50
    doesn't another common sign we're going
  • 00:00:53
    to be looking for is a diamond shaped
  • 00:00:56
    sign and that means caution it's
  • 00:00:58
    generally painted bright yellow yellow
  • 00:01:00
    or sometimes orange because yellow and
  • 00:01:02
    orange are our caution colors and when
  • 00:01:04
    we see a diamond shape sign we want to
  • 00:01:07
    really read carefully and understand
  • 00:01:09
    what the Traffic Engineers wanted us to
  • 00:01:11
    know we're also going to be looking for
  • 00:01:13
    white signs that are rectangular shape
  • 00:01:16
    that have our speed limits and we're
  • 00:01:18
    going to be looking for Diamond caution
  • 00:01:21
    signs that have symbols related to
  • 00:01:25
    Curves or turns or Wiggly roads that
  • 00:01:28
    might be coming up anything that is
  • 00:01:31
    printed on a white sign is the law so
  • 00:01:34
    our speed limit sign that's printed on a
  • 00:01:37
    white sign is the lot that's the upper
  • 00:01:39
    limit that we can follow and on curvy
  • 00:01:42
    roads we'll often see a yellow sign with
  • 00:01:45
    a recommended speed often 15 sometimes
  • 00:01:49
    20 depending on the curve of the road
  • 00:01:52
    those yellow signs are cautions they're
  • 00:01:55
    suggestions they're not exactly a speed
  • 00:01:58
    limit so you couldn't get a ticket for
  • 00:02:01
    going 18 if it says 15 on a yellow sign
  • 00:02:06
    but you might not feel is safe if there
  • 00:02:09
    is a caution sign it means that the
  • 00:02:11
    Traffic Engineers have studied the road
  • 00:02:13
    and they put those signs to make sure
  • 00:02:15
    that everyone can pass through safely so
  • 00:02:18
    let's get out on the road with a
  • 00:02:20
    specific focus of noticing and
  • 00:02:23
    understanding and talking about our
  • 00:02:25
    street signs and how they're posted to
  • 00:02:27
    keep us safe here we
  • 00:02:35
    go so the first sign we come to is of
  • 00:02:39
    course our stop
  • 00:02:41
    sign and I'm going to turn right at the
  • 00:02:44
    stop sign observing my full stop at the
  • 00:02:47
    first limit line and then creeping
  • 00:02:50
    forward with my mirror over the second
  • 00:02:53
    limit line just to make
  • 00:02:56
    sure because there's a bump here right
  • 00:03:00
    back there where you couldn't see there
  • 00:03:02
    was a yellow diamond sign that said
  • 00:03:04
    caution 15 bump they really do try to
  • 00:03:08
    give us a lot of information when we're
  • 00:03:10
    out on the
  • 00:03:12
    road stopping at another stop sign I
  • 00:03:16
    told you that's the most important sign
  • 00:03:18
    that we're going to be looking
  • 00:03:21
    for and then while we're driving down
  • 00:03:23
    this road let's notice the no parking
  • 00:03:26
    anytime sign that's because the road is
  • 00:03:29
    narrow and if cars were parked on the
  • 00:03:30
    right hand side it would be hard for us
  • 00:03:32
    to pass by we also noticed the keep
  • 00:03:36
    right sign to the left of us that's
  • 00:03:38
    because there's a big concrete median
  • 00:03:41
    and they wouldn't want anyone to
  • 00:03:42
    accidentally bump it and all along here
  • 00:03:46
    we see yield to pedestrian signs speed
  • 00:03:49
    limit signs another keep right sign all
  • 00:03:53
    the signs that help keep us in our
  • 00:03:56
    position so that we don't accidentally
  • 00:03:59
    go in the wrong lane or the wrong
  • 00:04:02
    direction or the wrong speed another
  • 00:04:05
    reminder of our 25 mph speed limit
  • 00:04:11
    sign it's pretty quiet around here until
  • 00:04:16
    we see the next yellow diamond shaped
  • 00:04:19
    caution sign which tells us that there's
  • 00:04:22
    a trail Crossing for bicyclists and
  • 00:04:24
    pedestrians in 200 ft and that Black
  • 00:04:28
    Arrow REM reminds us the driver to look
  • 00:04:32
    here for
  • 00:04:34
    pedestrians now we've got our sharp
  • 00:04:37
    curve so we go 15 M then on the left
  • 00:04:41
    there was a do not enter sign because
  • 00:04:44
    that left road is a one-way Street
  • 00:04:47
    exiting toward us so we're not allowed
  • 00:04:49
    to
  • 00:04:50
    enter already in the last 2 minutes
  • 00:04:53
    we've seen about half of the signs that
  • 00:04:56
    you had to memorize to get your permit
  • 00:04:58
    test so I hope you're feeling like okay
  • 00:05:03
    I see where they're posted I can see
  • 00:05:06
    what they're trying to tell me and then
  • 00:05:08
    your job is to always read the
  • 00:05:12
    signs and apply the safe skill that the
  • 00:05:15
    sign is asking you to
  • 00:05:18
    [Music]
  • 00:05:20
    apply sometimes I'm driving with
  • 00:05:22
    students and they'll say I haven't seen
  • 00:05:25
    a speed limit sign in a while how am I
  • 00:05:27
    supposed to know the speed limit and the
  • 00:05:30
    rule is that you remember the last speed
  • 00:05:33
    limit sign you saw which for us was 35 M
  • 00:05:37
    an hour and we keep that speed until we
  • 00:05:40
    see a new sign that gives us a new speed
  • 00:05:44
    limit and that's just because our
  • 00:05:47
    community would look kind of ugly if we
  • 00:05:49
    had street signs posted like every 100
  • 00:05:52
    ft so there's part of this driving thing
  • 00:05:56
    where you just have to remember all the
  • 00:05:58
    things you studied for your per
  • 00:06:00
    perit hidden under that tree is our next
  • 00:06:03
    speed limit sign it says 30 m an
  • 00:06:07
    hour We're reducing our speed to 30 cuz
  • 00:06:10
    we're about to approach a tunnel and to
  • 00:06:14
    the right of the tunnel we see a quiet
  • 00:06:17
    sign and a turn on lights sign we're
  • 00:06:21
    also given information about the height
  • 00:06:24
    of the tunnel in case we were a really
  • 00:06:26
    tall truck we would want to know if we
  • 00:06:28
    could
  • 00:06:32
    through and we can see that car on the
  • 00:06:34
    left didn't turn their lights on they
  • 00:06:36
    didn't observe the law and so they
  • 00:06:39
    looked super dark as they were coming
  • 00:06:41
    out of the
  • 00:06:44
    tunnel exiting the tunnel we see a stop
  • 00:06:47
    ahead sign and a reminder to check our
  • 00:06:49
    lights so I'm going to turn my lights
  • 00:06:52
    off and I'm going to turn left at this
  • 00:06:55
    stop sign
  • 00:07:00
    [Music]
  • 00:07:05
    and I am going to take my
  • 00:07:08
    turn
  • 00:07:10
    observing a pedestrian clearing the
  • 00:07:14
    crosswalk and now I've got railroad
  • 00:07:17
    track signs railroad
  • 00:07:20
    crossing we're going to go over the
  • 00:07:22
    railroad tracks at a nice cautious speed
  • 00:07:25
    of 15
  • 00:07:31
    and now I see another yellow diamond
  • 00:07:34
    caution sign for a fire station and
  • 00:07:37
    that's important information because at
  • 00:07:39
    any time I could hear the sirens going
  • 00:07:41
    off and if I have early warning I won't
  • 00:07:44
    be as startled and I'll be better
  • 00:07:47
    prepared to stay out of the way of the
  • 00:07:49
    fir truck
  • 00:07:59
    our stops at our stop signs have become
  • 00:08:02
    so routine I hope that you feel it too
  • 00:08:05
    we stop we look right and left and right
  • 00:08:09
    and then we take our
  • 00:08:12
    turn at this next intersection I notice
  • 00:08:16
    I don't have stop signs the right and
  • 00:08:18
    left do and I can tell because I see the
  • 00:08:21
    back of their stop signs the silver
  • 00:08:24
    color and the
  • 00:08:26
    hexagon at this next intersection we're
  • 00:08:29
    going to look at all the street signs so
  • 00:08:31
    we can decide which way to go usually we
  • 00:08:35
    drive on the right side of the street so
  • 00:08:37
    it's sort of an instinct to go toward
  • 00:08:39
    the right but we see two bright signs
  • 00:08:42
    square with red circle do not enter to
  • 00:08:47
    the left we see 15 mph two-way traffic
  • 00:08:52
    sign and then we see the median sign
  • 00:08:55
    which shows us we are The Black Arrow
  • 00:09:00
    and so even though it feels weird in the
  • 00:09:02
    United States to drive toward the left
  • 00:09:06
    we follow the street signs and we stay
  • 00:09:09
    safe and knowing that this is a two-way
  • 00:09:12
    street is really important because it
  • 00:09:14
    certainly feels like a oneway street so
  • 00:09:17
    we're cautious looking for any oncoming
  • 00:09:20
    traffic so we can make sure that we slow
  • 00:09:23
    down and negotiate the space so we both
  • 00:09:26
    could pass
  • 00:09:28
    safely I see the back of a diamond shape
  • 00:09:31
    which means
  • 00:09:34
    caution and my road continues to the
  • 00:09:38
    right I see another yellow diamond
  • 00:09:42
    caution
  • 00:09:44
    shape more no parking signs because on
  • 00:09:48
    this two-way Road there's no room for
  • 00:09:50
    parked
  • 00:09:52
    cars and as I come around the corner
  • 00:09:55
    here I see a yellow sign which shows me
  • 00:09:59
    that there is two-way traffic and the
  • 00:10:02
    caution sign alerts me to be really
  • 00:10:05
    careful looking for
  • 00:10:08
    traffic you may have also noticed that
  • 00:10:11
    there was not a stop sign at that
  • 00:10:14
    t we have to Remember full stop at every
  • 00:10:17
    te whether there's a sign or
  • 00:10:21
    not now we're going to pass through a
  • 00:10:23
    big intersection with no stop signs and
  • 00:10:27
    no yield signs
  • 00:10:29
    everybody yields looking
  • 00:10:32
    cautiously and I'm going to turn left
  • 00:10:35
    and I Am The Black Arrow on the right
  • 00:10:38
    side of that sign that said there's a
  • 00:10:41
    median you stay to the
  • 00:10:44
    right there's a oneway sign letting me
  • 00:10:48
    know that that little part of the road
  • 00:10:50
    was oneway and now I'm back on a two-way
  • 00:10:54
    Road even though there's no signs I can
  • 00:10:57
    tell because cars are parked heading
  • 00:10:59
    toward
  • 00:11:01
    me as I approach this intersection I'm
  • 00:11:04
    going to make a right
  • 00:11:07
    turn and again this is a two-way road if
  • 00:11:12
    it was oneway there would be a long
  • 00:11:14
    rectangular sign with an arrow pointing
  • 00:11:17
    in the direction that the road
  • 00:11:21
    goes but this one is
  • 00:11:26
    two-way I'm going to curve left with the
  • 00:11:29
    road because the right curve goes into a
  • 00:11:32
    driveway and the little blue dot on the
  • 00:11:35
    ground helps remind me to stay on my
  • 00:11:38
    right side of the
  • 00:11:40
    road even though there isn't a Center
  • 00:11:42
    Line painted down the middle of this
  • 00:11:44
    road I remember it's a two-way
  • 00:11:47
    street if it was oneway there would be a
  • 00:11:51
    one-way
  • 00:11:56
    sign and when I'm driving in
  • 00:11:58
    neighborhoods with wi 90 roads and
  • 00:12:00
    cliffs it's normal to use a little bit
  • 00:12:03
    of a slower speed 15 is a perfect
  • 00:12:06
    caution
  • 00:12:08
    speed I'm going to turn right at this
  • 00:12:11
    intersection to the left I see a NADA
  • 00:12:14
    through street sign and also to the left
  • 00:12:18
    I see a downhill sign again using that
  • 00:12:21
    yellow color and the diamond shape which
  • 00:12:24
    is our caution
  • 00:12:26
    color here we have a no left turn sign
  • 00:12:30
    and do not enter
  • 00:12:32
    signs just to be sure that we won't
  • 00:12:35
    accidentally try to turn left onto that
  • 00:12:38
    oneway
  • 00:12:41
    street and as I pop out here I see a
  • 00:12:45
    yield sign and that reminds me that I am
  • 00:12:48
    slow and
  • 00:12:49
    cautious looking and I would stop if I
  • 00:12:52
    had to but I go if I don't have a reason
  • 00:12:55
    to stop
  • 00:13:01
    I'm going to make a right turn at this
  • 00:13:02
    stop sign I see a pedestrian passing so
  • 00:13:05
    of course I'm going to yield to The
  • 00:13:07
    Pedestrian and I'm also thinking about
  • 00:13:10
    to the left making sure that I can see
  • 00:13:13
    around that white truck before I make my
  • 00:13:19
    turn and now I see lots of yellow
  • 00:13:23
    caution alerting me that the road curves
  • 00:13:27
    to the left
  • 00:13:30
    I have a white speed limit sign of 20 so
  • 00:13:33
    that's my new speed limit for this
  • 00:13:35
    section of the
  • 00:13:39
    road going to safely pass the UPS truck
  • 00:13:45
    looking carefully for the driver I don't
  • 00:13:48
    want to accidentally bump a a person
  • 00:13:51
    trying to get back to their
  • 00:13:57
    truck and all the way down I observe
  • 00:14:00
    that 20 mph sign that I saw back
  • 00:14:10
    there and I hope you're starting to feel
  • 00:14:13
    like the street signs are special
  • 00:14:16
    messages just to
  • 00:14:18
    you here I notice a diamond yellow shape
  • 00:14:22
    which alerts me that there's a yield so
  • 00:14:25
    I look for those cars I make sure no
  • 00:14:27
    one's coming and then I
  • 00:14:34
    continue and again we've got no parking
  • 00:14:36
    signs on the right hand side really
  • 00:14:39
    important to notice that you don't want
  • 00:14:40
    to accidentally get a parking
  • 00:14:46
    ticket and as I come forward I've just
  • 00:14:50
    made a big loop and I'm back on the
  • 00:14:52
    other side of this tunnel and I see
  • 00:14:55
    again the turn on light sign and
  • 00:14:57
    underneath the turn on light sign it has
  • 00:14:59
    two arrows pointing left so that is
  • 00:15:02
    telling me if you're turning left turn
  • 00:15:05
    on your lights to go through the
  • 00:15:07
    tunnel and I creep to my second limit
  • 00:15:10
    line where I can look through the tunnel
  • 00:15:12
    and see the flash of light from cars
  • 00:15:16
    coming and when it's safe I make my
  • 00:15:20
    turn so that was a little fun with
  • 00:15:25
    street signs there's a reason they make
  • 00:15:27
    you memorize the shape and the color of
  • 00:15:30
    all the signs because one day you're
  • 00:15:32
    going to be out on the road you might be
  • 00:15:34
    in a new neighborhood that you're
  • 00:15:36
    unfamiliar with and being able to very
  • 00:15:39
    quickly notice the signs read the
  • 00:15:42
    information and react while you're
  • 00:15:45
    driving is going to help you be a really
  • 00:15:47
    smooth and safe
  • 00:15:50
    [Music]
  • 00:15:54
    driver let's turn right at this four-way
  • 00:15:57
    stop no noticing the
  • 00:16:00
    pedestrians they waved us on so we're
  • 00:16:03
    going to go ahead once we know that
  • 00:16:05
    they're safely stopped and if they want
  • 00:16:07
    us to go and we see more signs a keep
  • 00:16:10
    right sign a school crossing sign in
  • 00:16:14
    bright
  • 00:16:16
    yellow we see look for pedestrian signs
  • 00:16:20
    and again that arrow pointing down means
  • 00:16:23
    dear driver please look here cuz this is
  • 00:16:27
    a spot where a little kid could be
  • 00:16:28
    standing waiting to
  • 00:16:31
    cross more school crossing signs more
  • 00:16:36
    alert to pedestrian
  • 00:16:41
    signs and then as we continue forward we
  • 00:16:44
    see a yellow caution sign that says no
  • 00:16:48
    Outlet dead end so we won't be surprised
  • 00:16:52
    that when we get to the end of this road
  • 00:16:54
    we're going to have to make a uturn
  • 00:17:03
    and the sign was right here we are at
  • 00:17:05
    the end of the
  • 00:17:07
    road we are going to make a uturn we see
  • 00:17:10
    other signs here noting private property
  • 00:17:14
    and no
  • 00:17:15
    trespassing that's something that we
  • 00:17:17
    remember when we're a car or a
  • 00:17:19
    pedestrian or a
  • 00:17:22
    cyclist and the sign on the right says
  • 00:17:25
    no parking street sweeping but it's not
  • 00:17:28
    street sweeping time so I'm going to
  • 00:17:30
    pull over and park right here by this
  • 00:17:34
    bright yellow school
  • 00:17:36
    sign and that is going to complete our
  • 00:17:39
    fun review of signs I hope you liked
  • 00:17:42
    driving around this neighborhood I hope
  • 00:17:44
    that driving in California takes you to
  • 00:17:46
    all kinds of awesome neighborhoods
  • 00:17:49
    depending on when the neighborhood was
  • 00:17:52
    colonized there will be different sorts
  • 00:17:54
    of streets this one was really windy
  • 00:17:57
    with narrow roads if if a neighborhood
  • 00:17:59
    was colonized more recently it'll have
  • 00:18:02
    more of a grid-like structure um with
  • 00:18:04
    more right and left turns that are more
  • 00:18:06
    normal but thank you for following along
  • 00:18:09
    we got to see railroad tracks we got to
  • 00:18:11
    see yield signs we got to see of course
  • 00:18:14
    our stop signs our caution for
  • 00:18:15
    pedestrian signs school crossing signs
  • 00:18:18
    and the important thing for you to
  • 00:18:20
    remember is every sign is a personal
  • 00:18:23
    note to you dear driver notice and
  • 00:18:27
