What type of signals are not part of the language used to communicate on the road?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
On the road, **communication signals** are essential to ensure safety and the proper flow of traffic. These signals can be visual or auditory, but they do not include verbal signals.
- **Visual signals**: These include flags of different colors and signals made with the arm. For example, a red flag indicates that vehicles cannot proceed, while an arm extended downward requires stopping on the right side. Lights on vehicles are also used, such as lane traffic lights, which indicate whether a lane is open or closed.
- **Auditory signals**: These are used to warn other drivers of specific situations, such as avoiding an accident or indicating that one is going to overtake on a road outside the city.
Therefore, **verbal signals** are not part of the communication system on the road, as they are neither practical nor safe for conveying information to drivers in motion.
