What do the small road signs mean?

What do the small road signs mean? I don't mean the pace notes.
The only one i could decipher so far is the one about 100 meters before the finish with a checkered flag on it.

The little orange flags are corner markers

Yellow=100 meters to cross road. Red=cross road

i wonder about the small red spikes. what do they tell?

They are route markers which indicate a junction. The green ones are before the junction, the red ones are at the junction. The angle tells you which way to turn. The green markers are combined with a general caution sign.

I first though the little red spikes point into the direction I have to turn, but they often do not. O.o

Yes they do. Bear in mind they include 'straight on' junctions, or where the road only bends a little bit, but there is a junction there. Also, the green ones tell which way to turn at the junction ahead, not at the position of the marker.

Green?? You mean yellow?

Yellow is written to real road books I have. Those are quite close of green anyway.

In game I think those are too low. One meter it should be if I remember right.

anyway, this is useful, didn't know they were at a certain distance... I thought orange meant you had to be at least inside of the arrow or hit it to be a legal turn on those corners that are easy to cut.

They look green to me, but colour is notoriously unreliable across different PCs. In real life, they're usually fluoro green/yellow. Maybe some call it yellow, I call it green. Interestingly, what you call a colour is determined by where you grew up (i.e. culturally), it's not an absolute. Cyan for example - Germans see that as a variant of green, Britishers see it as a variant of blue...

true eh. Lots of things I'd considered yellow, others would call orange, and it's not cos I'm colour blind.
