School crossing signs are the only signs shaped like a ______.

Shapes on signs let you recognize the type of warning or rule at a glance. School crossing signs use a pentagon, the five-sided shape, to stand out from the other common shapes you’ll see on signs. That distinct pentagon tells you you’re entering a school area, so you should slow down and be alert for children and crossing pedestrians. Other signs are typically circles, diamonds, or triangles, so the pentagon shape is a unique cue that this sign is specifically about a school zone.
