Maryland Road Signs Practice in Chinese

含義： Come to a complete stop before the limit line, crosswalk, or intersection.

注意： Look left, right, and ahead after stopping. Rolling through a stop is still a violation, even when the road looks empty.

常見錯誤： Treating it like a yield sign and slowing without fully stopping.

含義： Slow down and give right-of-way. Stop only if traffic, pedestrians, or cyclists require it.

注意： Check the lane you are entering, not just the lane directly in front of you. Be ready to stop before the conflict point.

常見錯誤： Stopping every time when the way is already clear, or entering without checking cross traffic.

含義： This is the maximum legal speed under ideal conditions.

注意： The Basic Speed Law can still require you to drive slower in rain, fog, traffic, construction, or poor visibility.

常見錯誤： Treating the posted number as always safe instead of a maximum for good conditions.

含義： Right turns are not allowed at this location.

注意： Look for an alternate legal route before the intersection. The restriction may exist because of pedestrians, one-way traffic, or limited visibility.

常見錯誤： Turning right after stopping because the way looks clear.

含義： Left turns are not allowed at this location.

注意： Plan to continue straight or make a legal turn later. Do not block traffic while trying to force a turn.

常見錯誤： Assuming the sign only applies during rush hour when no time plate is posted.

含義： U-turns are not allowed at this location.

注意： Continue to a place where a U-turn is legal and safe. Watch for one-way streets, traffic signals, and limited sight distance.

常見錯誤： Making a quick U-turn because no car is immediately nearby.

含義： Traffic in this lane must turn left.

注意： Get into the correct lane early. If you are in this lane by mistake, do not suddenly cut into another lane.

常見錯誤： Continuing straight from a turn-only lane.

含義： Vehicles in the right lane must turn right.

含義： This lane is reserved for vehicles meeting the posted carpool or HOV requirement.

注意： Check the occupancy requirement and posted hours before entering. Enter and exit only where lane markings allow it.

常見錯誤： Using the lane alone because traffic is moving slowly in regular lanes.

含義： This lane is designated for bicycle travel.

注意： Check for cyclists before turning across the lane. You may enter a bike lane only when the law allows, such as before a turn.

常見錯誤： Driving in the bike lane as if it were a shoulder or extra traffic lane.

含義： Passing other vehicles is not allowed here.

注意： There may be limited sight distance, curves, hills, intersections, or oncoming traffic risk.

常見錯誤： Starting a pass because the center line looks briefly clear.

含義： Bicyclists may legally use the full travel lane where posted.
