New York DMV Permit Written TestRoad SignsHard
You are driving on a two-lane road and see a diamond-shaped yellow sign with a black symbol depicting two arrows curving in opposite directions with a vertical line in between them, then merging. What does this sign indicate?
- AA lane is ending, and you must merge with traffic.
- BA divided highway is ending, and two-way traffic will resume.
- CThere is a sharp curve ahead, and a separate lane for slower traffic.
- DYou are approaching a traffic circle or roundabout.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. A divided highway is ending, and two-way traffic will resume.
This warning sign indicates that a divided highway is coming to an end. The symbol shows two separate lanes of traffic (the two arrows) coming together, with the divider (vertical line) disappearing, signifying the return to a two-way, undivided roadway.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This is incorrect; a lane ending sign typically shows one lane merging into another, not a divider disappearing.
- C. This is incorrect; sharp curves and separate lanes for slower traffic have distinct warning signs.
- D. This is incorrect; roundabouts have different warning signs (circular arrows).
