caption_attribution_description: English: A "sheep crossing" sign in England.
context_page_description: This is a comparison of road signs in countries that speak majorly English, including major ones where it is an official language and widely understood.
  Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are all SADC members who drive on the left and use the SADC Road Traffic Signs Manual, and thus have identical road signs.
context_section_description: Most warning signs are diamond-shaped and yellow or red-bordered triangular warning signs; some warning signs may be fluorescent yellow-green in order to draw extra attention. There are a few exceptions to this:
  Pentagonal signs are used in school zones in the United States, Liberia, and many areas in Canada.  In the Philippines, pentagonal signs are permanently used for pedestrian crossings.
  Warning signs may be text-only.
