Road signs in Brunei closely follow
the traffic sign regulations used in
Singapore as well as the
United Kingdom to a lesser extent.[1] A number of changes have also been introduced over the years to suit local road conditions. There are also some differences in the typefaces used, although
DIN 1451 remains widely used.
Regulatory signs either give positive instructions ("mandatory signs") or indicate a prohibition ("prohibitionary signs"). Many regulatory signs are accompanied by supplementary plates that indicate exceptions to the rule or additional instruction or information to facilitate understanding of the rule.
Priority signs
These are the octagonal red STOP sign, the triangular GIVE WAY sign and the various mandatory STOP signs

Prohibitory signs
Prohibitory signs, which generally tell drivers what they must not do, are mostly circular and have a red border. A red ring indicates a total prohibition; diagonal bars indicate the prohibition of a specific manoeuvre (e.g. banned left or right turns) or that the prohibition applies to a certain class of vehicle (e.g. lorries).
