What type of signs provide information about routes, distances, and points of interest?

Guide signs are designed to provide information about routes, distances, and points of interest. They play a crucial role in helping drivers navigate unfamiliar areas by indicating directions to major destinations, such as cities, landmarks, and points of interest like rest areas or scenic overlooks. Additionally, these signs often include mileage information to inform travelers how far they are from their chosen destinations, making them essential for travel planning.

Warning signs serve to alert drivers to potential hazards or changes in road conditions, such as curves, intersections, or pedestrian crossings, but they do not provide route guidance. Regulatory signs communicate specific laws and regulations that must be followed, such as speed limits and no parking zones, but they do not direct drivers to points of interest. Information signs can sometimes provide additional context or guidance, but they are not the primary sign category dedicated to directing routes and distances, which is the primary role of guide signs.
