Where should signs generally be located along the road?

Signs are generally located on the right-hand side of the road to provide clear visibility and guidance to drivers. This positioning allows drivers to notice the signs easily as they approach and navigate their paths. By placing signs on the right side, road designers aim to create a uniform standard that drivers come to expect, which ultimately enhances safety and reduces confusion while driving.

While signs can appear on the left-hand side, especially in certain jurisdictions or situations, having them primarily on the right ensures that they are consistently in the line of sight for most vehicles, which travel predominantly in that direction. Center dividers tend to be used for safety barriers or medians rather than for placing signs, as signs in the middle could distract drivers and create safety risks. Signs at the entrance of intersections can be valuable, but the primary sign locations for guiding drivers along the road are on the right-hand side. This practice aligns with traffic regulation norms and ensures that motorists receive information when they need it most.
