Social semiotics is a sub-branch of semiotics that reveals hidden meanings in texts by explaining signs. It concentrates on two fields: identity codes and etiquette signs. As a social novel, This Street Has No Speed Bumps offers high potential for social semiotics analysis. Analyzing social signs and codes, the study attempts to present invaluable information about the urban fabric of the novelist’s community and women’s status in society.

Shohreh, the protagonist, stands against all patriarchal traditions and laws. The novelist’s transparently obvious transgression of social norms is her choice of taxi driving for her heroine, Shohreh
