Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. A school zone or children crossing area ahead.
Yellow-green (fluorescent yellow-green) signs are specifically used for pedestrian, bicycle, and school warnings. A square sign with two children walking indicates a school zone or a school crossing.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Pedestrian crossings with signals are indicated by different signs and the presence of a signal.
- B. School bus stops are not typically marked by this type of sign.
- D. While it's a zone where children might be, the sign specifically indicates a school or crossing area, not just a playground.
