Green \u2013 Road Guide Signs<\/h3>\n

Especially when driving on the interstate, you\u2019ll notice green signs whenever you\u2019re coming up to an exit or need to know which destinations are coming up. They\u2019ll usually show you the distance from any place that you\u2019re headed for and are a welcome sight when you\u2019ve finally reached where you want to be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blue \u2013 Roadside Services<\/h3>\n

As soon as you\u2019re on the exit ramp, blue signs will pop up that show you where the nearest gas, lodging and food options are, as well as which direction you\u2019ll want to turn to get to these places. They\u2019re also used to show you radio stations used for traffic updates, as well as where rest areas are located.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brown \u2013 Parks and Recreation<\/h3>\n

State and federal parks are a great place to relax and unwind for a bit, especially if you\u2019ve been spending the majority of the day behind the wheel of a vehicle. You\u2019ll know exactly where these places are with brown signs, so don\u2019t hesitate to head for those great times that await.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yellow \u2013 Warning<\/h3>\n

If you come up to a yellow sign, it means that you\u2019ll want to exercise caution for the next bit of road; these signs are meant to warn you of sharp curves, potential falling rocks, and other hazards that you should be aware of.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Orange \u2013 Construction<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re no strangers to construction here in Western Colorado, and that\u2019s what orange signs will tell you about. Construction sites can often mean reduced use of the road and slower required speeds, so it\u2019s best to take it slow and help everyone get their jobs done safely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Black and White \u2013 Regulatory<\/h3>\n

Finally, black and white signs are regulatory, and they help you stay on track with the rules of the road that you\u2019re on. These signs usually show speed limits, stretches of road where only authorized personnel are allowed to be, and all others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
