It's Ariannita la Gringa

and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

In today's video, I will teach all of you

the different types of traffic signs or road signs.

And it's a beautiful day in Cincinnati, Ohio,

but I'm not going to be driving my car around the city.

I will be riding this beautiful bike.

But before riding my bike and showing you guys

different types of road signs

around the city, I first need a helmet.

This is my helmet and it's a pink helmet

so I'm going to put it on my head

and strap it under my chin

because safety's first.

So let me go ahead and show you the first road sign!

What is a road sign?

Well, a road sign or traffic sign

is a sign that keeps everybody safe.

Whether you're driving on the street

or the road or you're a pedestrian like me

who walks across the street

road signs help keep us safe.

And it yells us what to do or what we're not allowed to do.

So the first road sign is one way.

This is a one-way street.

As you can see, this train is moving in one direction

because it's a one-way street.

This is a rectangular sign

that has a black arrow pointing in one direction.

Normally, you can have cars going both ways.

For example, on the right side and then on the left side,

but this is a one-way street

so cars can only go this way and not this way.

So if you're a car and you're driving this way

you cannot do that because this street is a oneway

so follow the arrow it's pointed that way

and that means it's a oneway.

Now let's go find another road sign.

This is another sign.

It's in the shape of a diamond

and it's bright orange and it says road work ahead.

And that just basically means that drivers on the road

need to be very cautious

because there may be construction work on the  road

or construction workers walking next to the road

so basically you just need to slow down

during this area and watch the road for any construction.

And how do you know when the construction work

is over or when it ends?

Well, there will be another sign that says

'End Road Work'.

So basically right now

I don't have to watch for any construction on the road.

I don't have to look out for any construction workers

because there is no more road work.

The next road sign is this one right behind me.

It's in the shape of a diamond,

it's bright yellow, and there's a person walking.

This is a pedestrian crossing sign.

And right next to it, there will be a crosswalk.

This is a crosswalk.

This sign basically warns drivers on the road

to stop or slow down for pedestrians

who are trying to cross the street.

I am a pedestrian so now I'm going to walk across the street.

Right below the pedestrian crossing sign,

there is a speed hump sign

because there is a literal hump in the road.

And that will make cars slow down

because some cars will want to speed up and go really fast in the city,

but if there's a speed hump they will slow down like that.

Also, I want to know

What is a speed hump called in your city or country?

Because I know in Latin America it's called a different name.

The next sign is this one right behind me.

It says pay to park.

Unfortunately, here in Cincinnati,

you cannot park on the street without paying for it.

So you can pay for your parking spot

with this machine right here.

And you will just punch in how many hours or minutes

you want to park on the street,

but if you don't see a machine like this

there may be a parking meter.

And that parking meter

will be right next to the spot you want to park in.

When you pay for a spot on the street

you will pay with your zone number or location number.

And you will also have to write down your license plate number.

So you can pay by phone

or you can pay with this machine right here.

And you also have to pay for the time.

So here if you're parking for an hour

it'll probably be around $2 to $3.

And what happens if you parked on the street,

you forgot to read all of the signs next to the street,

and you didn't pay for a parking spot?

Well, that means you might get a ticket

from one of the police officers here.

And a ticket is basically a fine

because you didn't pay for your parking spot

or you parked somewhere illegally.

And the minimum fee to pay for that is $45.

Have you guys ever gotten a fine

or a ticket for parking in the wrong space?

Let me know down below.

Before continuing the video

and teaching you guys another traffic sign,

you might be wondering...

Ariannita, why are you riding a bike

and not driving a car?

Well, since I live in a city

I have always wanted an electric bike.

I don't like driving around the city

because there might be a lot of traffic

or I may have to pay for a parking spot.

So I reached out to Rave E-Bikes

and they sent me this cool electric bike

that came in a huge box.

This e-bike is the bullet GTX 20 ah model.

You can build the bike in an hour.

I'm not a great builder,

but you may be faster than me.

Now, what are some cool features of this bike?

Well first off it's an electric bike

so if you get tired and don't want to use the pedals

then you can just increase the speed

with this button right here.

And this bike can go up to 20 mph.

This electric bike also has an extended seat

so I can sit comfortably on the bike while I ride it.

Also, these are the handlebars

and right next to the handlebars,

there is a small screen that will show me the speed of the bike.

This bike also comes with a removable battery

that can power your bike for an average of 40  miles.

And after riding this bike for a couple of weeks

I don't think I'll ever use my car in the city.

It takes me everywhere!

If you want to check out this bike

or other electric bikes go ahead and check out the Rave page.

The link is in the description.

Now, let me go ahead and teach you guys some more traffic signs!

The next sign is this diamond sign right above me.

It says 'No Outlet'.

Does that mean if my phone dies I can't plug it in?

No...

This sign says no outlet

and it's normally used next to the entrance

of a road or a street where there is no way to exit.

For example, if I were driving my car

and I kept going straight

I cannot exit through this road or street

I have to exit the same way I entered.

As you can see behind me,

there is no exit because there is a black gate over there

so I have to exit the same way I entered.

Right behind me, there are two traffic signs.

The top one is a downward pointing triangle

and it says yield on it.

This is a yield sign

and it basically lets drivers know

to slow down and to yield to other traffic

or to pedestrians like me.

If there is oncoming traffic

you need to slow down or stop

and let that car pass through before driving forward.

And below the yield sign,

there is a square sign and it has a bunch of arrows.

This is a roundabout sign

so this right behind me this is a roundabout.

A roundabout is a sign with arrows

that will show you the motion of traffic

and it's a great solution for traffic.

Let me know down below what a roundabout is called in your language.

This is the next sign.

This is a speed limit sign

and it indicates the maximum safe speed you're allowed to go.

Right now I'm riding a bicycle

so I don't have to necessarily follow the speed limit

because my bike doesn't go really fast,

but if you're driving a car

like these cars driving across this bridge

they can go pretty fast.

Having a speed limit sign lets them know the safe speed they can go.

The speed limit in this area to drive across the bridge is 25 mph

so drivers have to watch out and look at the  speed limit

because the speed limit may change throughout the city.

For example, this part is 25 mph

but some parts of the city may be 15 mph.

Road signs aren't just for cars driving on the  road.

They're also for bikes like electric bikes,

regular bicycles,

scooters,

motorcycles,

skateboards, and many more.

So if you're riding a bike or you're on a skateboard

make sure you're watching out for the traffic signs.

In this city where I am,

you can rent out electric bikes or scooters.

Now let me know down below

if your city rents out electric bikes or electric  scooters.

And which one do you prefer?

Do you like riding a bike or scooter?

Let me know down below.

Before ending this video,

can you all name all of these things on the screen?

What is this called?

This is a fire hydrant (fire hydrant).

And the next one?

That is a traffic cone (traffic cone).

And I bet you guys know this one...

This is a traffic light.

And what about this one?

That is a pothole (pothole).

And lastly, what is this called?

This is a sewer (sewer).

Let me know how many you guys got correct!

Okay, everybody!

That's all for today's video.

Let me know down below what's your favorite part

and I'll see you guys next week.

Bye!
