Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. A guide sign providing advance notice of an upcoming exit and its distance.
Green rectangular signs with white lettering are guide signs. They provide directional information, including distances to upcoming exits, cities, or points of interest. This particular sign tells drivers the distance to the next exit.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Warning signs are typically yellow and diamond-shaped, alerting to hazards, not construction distances in this format.
- C. Service signs are typically blue and indicate available services like gas, food, or lodging, not distances to exits.
- D. Regulatory signs are typically white with black text and indicate rules, not distances to changes.
Guide Sign (Distance to Exit)
