Explanation
According to the Rules of the Road, guide signs indicate place names, directions, distances, etc., to facilitate travel. In Appendix 3(1), most of those showing directions and distances have a blue or green background (some of those showing municipalities, well-known places, and the like have a white background). Remember that this is a different color scheme from regulatory signs or warning signs.
