Information signs
One-way traffic in direction indicated (sign for pedestrians)
What it means
This one is aimed at people on foot rather than drivers: it tells you the street is one-way and the arrow shows the way the traffic travels. You'll meet it at kerbside crossing points in town. Vehicles come from the opposite end to the arrow, so look that way before you step out.
