Learn the sign and the action together.
A sign name alone is weak knowledge. For each example, pair what the sign means with what you must actually do as a driver.

Regulatory sign

Pattern
Use shape and colour as a first clue, not the whole answer.
Traffic-sign learning becomes faster when you recognise the general signing system and then learn the specific instruction. STOP and Give Way are deliberately distinctive; red-ring signs commonly prohibit, while blue circles commonly give positive mandatory instructions. Supplementary plates can qualify a restriction, so always read the complete sign arrangement.
