- CYou must turn left at the intersection.
- DYou are permitted to proceed straight through the intersection.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. You are permitted to proceed straight through the intersection.
A white rectangular sign with a green circle and a white arrow pointing straight up is a 'Permissive Straight Ahead' sign. It indicates that traffic is allowed to proceed straight through the intersection. This is often used in conjunction with other lane control signs or signals.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Bicycle signs typically feature a bicycle symbol, not a green circle with a straight arrow.
- B. Pedestrian crosswalks are indicated by specific pedestrian signs or pavement markings, not this type of turn sign.
- C. A left turn would be indicated by a left-pointing arrow, not a straight-up arrow.
Permissive Straight Ahead Sign
A regulatory sign indicating that drivers in a particular lane are permitted to proceed straight through an intersection.
- White rectangular sign.
- Green circle with a white arrow pointing straight up.
- Clarifies allowed movement for a lane.
Memory trick: Green circle on a white sign means 'Go' in that direction.
