Saudi Arabia
Traffic Signs Guide

Traffic signs make up approximately 40% of the Dallah computer test — around 14 out of 35 questions. The other 60% covers traffic rules and regulations.

The four types are: Warning signs (red triangle — hazards ahead), Regulatory signs (red circle or octagon — prohibitions and limits), Mandatory signs (blue circle — instructions you must follow), and Guide/Information signs (rectangles — directions and services).

Warning signs are triangular with a red border on a white background. They alert drivers to hazards or changes in road conditions ahead such as curves, pedestrian crossings, animal crossings, and road works.

A red circle with a horizontal white bar means No Entry — you must not enter the road or lane in that direction. This is one of the most important regulatory signs to recognise.

Blue circular signs give mandatory instructions — they tell you what you must do. Examples include minimum speed limit, compulsory direction, roundabout, and pedestrian only zones.

Yes. Road signs in Saudi Arabia display text in both Arabic and English. This applies to directional signs, street names, and informational signs. Saudi Arabia follows the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

The camel crossing sign is a triangular warning sign showing a camel silhouette. It warns drivers that camels may be crossing or on the road ahead — common on desert roads outside cities. Always slow down when you see this sign as camels are difficult to spot at night.
