Which two signs may be posted where a driver enters a roadway against traffic?
-
A.
KEEP RIGHT and NO PASSING
-
B.
STOP and YIELD
-
C.
DO NOT ENTER and WRONG WAY Correct
The answer is "DO NOT ENTER and WRONG WAY"
The manual names DO NOT ENTER and WRONG WAY as the pair posted when a driver enters a roadway against traffic. Drivers who pick KEEP RIGHT and NO PASSING are reaching for signs that separate opposing traffic on a two-lane road, not the pair posted at a ramp entered against traffic.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. KEEP RIGHT and NO PASSING
KEEP RIGHT and NO PASSING regulate lane use and passing, not entering a road against traffic. This answer reaches for signs that separate opposing traffic on a two-lane road, mistaking them for the pair posted at a ramp entered against traffic.
B. STOP and YIELD
STOP and YIELD govern intersection right-of-way, not entering a road against traffic. This answer defaults to the two most familiar red signs from daily driving, since DO NOT ENTER and WRONG WAY are also red and easy to conflate.
