Game board apparatus to increase appreciation of traffic road signs comprising in combination a plurality of pieces at least one for each player of the game, that move along a game board having a playing surface upon which the playing pieces are supportable, with the game board having its periphery divided into a right lane and a left lane. The lanes extending about the board so as to provide two paths of travel for the playing pieces from the beginning to the end of each of the lanes, and each lane affording a continuous path for the purpose of continuity of play and a series of distinguishable zones. Traffic designations of alternative bearing indicia thereon representative of road signs along each of the lanes in a plurality of the zones, with first identifiable means being interspersed among the signs along each of the lanes in a plurality of the zones, and second identifiable means being interspersed among the signs and the first identifiable means in a plurality of the zones is provided. A chance device is utilized and operable by players of the game apparatus for determining the possible number of zones a particular playing piece shall move along the playing surface of the lanes. A first set of cards corresponding to the first identifiable means, and a second set of cards corresponding to the second identifiable means is provided in conjunction with a set of chance cards, each chance card having indicia thereon representative of an advantage one player may exercise over another player or a hazard that a player must suffer relative to the movement of the pieces along the lanes.
