Road signs

144 signs and panels the Belgian category-B theory exam draws on, in the code's own families. Learn the family first: the shape and colour of a board already tell you what kind of thing it asks of you. What each sign means, when it applies and what it is usually confused with are taught in RoadReady.

Type a code like C43, or a word like parking.

Danger signs

33 signs

A white triangle with a red border and a black symbol. A danger sign never tells you what to do. It tells you what is coming, so the right reaction is almost always the same: slow down, look further ahead, and be ready to stop.

Priority signs

13 signs

Priority signs settle who goes first: at the next junction, along a whole road, or in a narrow passage. Their shapes differ from sign to sign, so learn each one by its shape.

Prohibitory signs

31 signs

A white circle with a red border. Belgian prohibitions do not draw a red slash across the symbol: the red ring is the ban, and what is inside it tells you who or what is banned.

Mandatory signs

9 signs

A blue disc with a white symbol. Where the red ring says you may not, the blue disc says you must.

Stopping and parking signs

13 signs

The signs that say where you may not stop or park, and where parking is allowed or required. The difference between E1 and E3 is the difference between a legal halt and an offence.

Information signs

33 signs

Mostly blue rectangles and squares with white symbols. Many of them are wayfinding; the ones the exam asks about switch a whole regime on and off, such as a built-up area, a zone or a motorway, or organise the lanes.

Additional panels

12 signs

The small rectangular panel under a sign is part of the sign. It can add to, narrow down or limit what the sign above it means, so read it before you decide whether the sign applies to you.
