It depends .. some councils use different coloured symbols.
Byway means the road/lane is open to motor vehicles .. red Blue and yellow (or any colour symbols usually indicate where a particular entitlement goes, in some cases red is Motor vehicles, Blue is Horses and bicycles, yellow is footpaths. This might be different depending where you are in the country, get out and read what the signs say. There are usually noticeboards at a route start, and many of the symbols will say what they're for as well as just being a coloured pointer.

Usually the red ones are the byways, other colours are footpaths or bridleways

Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
When I went the other day, there was a plain sign that said byway, then I came to almost a junction, one had a red byway sign, the other a yellow one. So not being 100% sure I turned my ass around lol. Last thing I wanted was to have me car taken
A wise move if your unsure. Did some ORPS's today and come across a promising one that had some unfriendly signs at both ends, it checks out on trailwise and memory maps but didn't want to risk a row without double checking with the Highways officer....so we left it for another day
