Does anyone or has anyone ever created a list of the common road (traffic) signs, and their meaning, commonly seen on Mex 1. I'm asking about the
signs without illustration as an example- Obedezca las senales ( I think I got it right!), I have used my spanish dictionary, spanish translator and
asked a local, I didn't really get a firm answer I was told it means "obey the laws". I have also checked all of my Baja travel books and they
basically give definition to signs with illustration. I just thought it would be good info to have for newbies and veterans alike that aren't fluid in
spanish.bajabound2005 - 11-20-2008 at 09:34 AM
That second link is the one! The first link is an excellent showing of all the picture signs... great!

Well,
I tend to be more "fluid" in Spanish after several cervezas....and at those times, I tend to think I am also getting more fluent at that time...bent-rim - 11-20-2008 at 03:35 PM
I love it when they put up a replacement sign about a foot away from the old one.castaway$ - 11-20-2008 at 05:22 PM
I must have had fluids on the brain also like tequila.LOSARIPES - 11-21-2008 at 03:40 AM
Obedezca las senales means "Obey the signs", literally.shari - 11-21-2008 at 07:18 AM
My favorite is No Deje Piedras en Camino....Dont Leave Rocks on the Road...for all the folks who change tires and put rocks under their tires and go
off and forget to throw them aside.ckiefer - 11-21-2008 at 09:07 PM
I prefer to guess what the signs say, it's alot more interesting that way.Mango - 11-22-2008 at 11:43 PM

Shari - Rocks are often used in place of pylons or traffic cones when none are available.. as are coke bottles, etc..
In the more permanent use.. they are often painted white and used in higher numbers, often at checkpoints, construction zones, etc.
When approaching a blind turn or heading over a rise and you see rocks or bottles in the road.. prepare for anything from a disabled car to a giant
pit.
