Wondering why most of our road signs are blue and green?

So why “blue” and “green”? Let’s take a closer look at each color.
- Green: Your best friend on the highway.
If you see a green sign, that’s a sign that you’re on a “highway” or a road that’s not an expressway. Because they say the color green gives a feeling of ease and relaxation, like the color of trees and grass, making drivers who may be tired from a long journey feel a little more comfortable. Importantly, the green contrasts very well with the white letters, making it easy for us to see and read the sign, even when driving at a fairly high speed. - Blue: You’ll see it when you get on the “expressway.”
The blue sign is a symbol of the “special highway” or what we commonly call “expressway” or “motorway.” The blue color gives a sense of order, formality, and reliability, similar to the good management system of the expressway that strictly controls traffic. Like the green color, the blue color contrasts clearly with the white letters, making it easy for us to read the sign. It also helps us to immediately distinguish the expressway from a normal road.
On our roads, there are not only blue and green signs. There are also other colors such as red (danger or prohibition signs), yellow (caution signs) and white (general information signs). Each color has its own specific meaning to make communication on the road as efficient and safe as possible.
Summary for drivers to understand:
Simply put, green road signs are your companions on the road in general, giving you a relaxed feeling and making them easy to read. Blue signs are like special guides on expressways, looking orderly and reliable. All of this is to make us drive confidently, not get lost, and be safe on every route! Now that you know this, the next time you look at a road sign, you’ll probably understand the meaning of these colors better, right? Drive safely, everyone!
