Sign Decoder

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a teaching tool intended to help students understand the meanings of different road signs. It is neatly organized and titled “Road Signs,” with a line provided for the student to write their name. The directions at the top instruct students to write the meaning of each sign on the corresponding line. A list of potential meanings is given, including “falling rocks,” “railroad tracks,” “10% grade,” “slippery road,” “trucks don’t pass,” and “side streets,” which students must match to the appropriate sign.

The worksheet includes six road signs, each framed within a red triangle, indicating caution. The signs feature symbols such as a car on an incline, a snowflake on a road, and a train, each representing different warnings such as steep hills, icy conditions, and railroad crossings. The students’ task is to analyze each sign and link it to its correct description, thereby enhancing their knowledge of traffic safety cues. This activity not only aids in memorizing the signs but also cultivates an understanding of the importance of heeding these warnings, which is fundamental for road safety and responsible driving practices.
