Well its more of the signals that say "dont go through mitosis" that prevents it from going through mitosis until conditions are right. this is mainly the fact that cells are so tightly squeezed together that they cannot go through mitosis until the one next to it dies or goes through apoptisis (programmed cell death). when a cell dies chemicals are released and sent to the surrounding cells to tell them to start dividing. otherwise a cell should continue dividing. though this doesnt mean cells are constantly dividing because in interphase there are various checkpoints of the cell division that tell the cell its ok to continue dividing. these checkpoints are G1, S, and G2. if the cell doesnt pass these checkpoints it goes into the G0 phase and does not divide.

What is a signal and what two kinds of signals control the cell cycle?

In biology, a signal is a molecule that carries information within cells or between cells. Two kinds of signals that control the cell cycle are stimulatory signals, which promote progression through the cell cycle, and inhibitory signals, which halt or slow down the cell cycle.
