Correct answer
White circle with a red border
Regulatory signs tell you what you must or must not do under road traffic law. They are usually circular: white with a red border and black symbols, figures or letters for prohibitions and speed limits, and blue with white symbols for mandatory instructions such as the direction traffic must take. Some regulatory signs use other shapes — most notably the STOP sign (red octagon) and the YIELD sign (inverted triangle).
