Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. The bridge ahead is narrower than the roadway.
A yellow diamond-shaped sign with two arrows pointing away from each other, indicating a narrowing space, is a 'Narrow Bridge' warning sign. It alerts drivers that the bridge ahead is narrower than the approaching roadway, requiring caution and possibly reduced speed.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. One-way/two-way traffic changes are indicated by different regulatory or warning signs.
- C. A lane reduction sign typically shows the number of lanes decreasing, often with a 'merging' arrow, not just narrowing space.
- D. Divided highway signs show two separate roadways, not converging arrows.
Narrow Bridge Warning Sign
A yellow diamond-shaped warning sign with a symbol of two arrows pointing away from each other, indicating that the bridge ahead is narrower than the road leading to it.
- Yellow, diamond-shaped warning sign.
- Features a symbol of two arrows pointing away from each other (or a bridge icon with narrowing).
- Warns that the bridge ahead has a reduced width.

Memory trick: Arrows spreading apart mean the road is getting small, especially on a bridge for all!
