Warning signs

Use headlights

What it means

Turn your headlights on for the stretch of road ahead, such as a tunnel or snow shed.

Yellow diamonds (and five-sided yellow-green school signs) warn of hazards ahead.

Summarised from ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart. Read the original: Signs signals and road markings ↗

How to recognise it

A yellow horizontal rectangle with a black border and the words USE HEADLIGHTS.

Where you will see it

Before tunnels and snow sheds, often posted under the warning sign.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.Turn on your headlights before the stretch ahead, even in daylight.
  2. 2.Slow down so your eyes have time to adjust to the darker road.

On the knowledge test

The words say it all. The test pairs it with tunnels: headlights on, sunglasses off.
