How can you identify a restriction sign?

1. By its orange frame colour

2. By its blue frame colour

3. By its size only

4. By its shape only

The correct answer is: By its orange frame colour

Restriction signs are signs that limit or prohibit certain activities, such as no parking or no left turn. These signs are typically identified by their distinct orange frame color. Although other signs may also have a specific color, such as blue for information and guidance signs, restriction signs are typically the only signs with an orange frame. B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe a specific characteristic of restriction signs. While size and shape may vary, the orange frame color is the most distinct feature of restriction signs.
