How does the Florida manual say channeling devices are made more visible at night?
-
A.
Equipped with warning lights. Correct
-
B.
Raised onto concrete pedestals for height.
-
C.
Removed at sunset and reset each morning.
-
D.
Coated with reflective paint on every side.
The answer is "Equipped with warning lights."
The manual says channeling devices may be equipped with warning lights at nighttime. Drivers who know the sloping stripes on barricades and panel devices sometimes generalize that into reflective paint on every side, which is not the nighttime feature the manual names.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Raised onto concrete pedestals for height.
The manual does not describe elevating channeling devices; warning lights are the nighttime feature it names. This answer confuses barrels, drums, and cones with permanent post-mounted signs raised for sightline clearance.
C. Removed at sunset and reset each morning.
The manual does not describe removing channeling devices at sunset; it identifies warning lights as the nighttime visibility feature. This answer assumes construction gear must be stowed overnight for safety, projecting a work-zone habit the manual never describes.
D. Coated with reflective paint on every side.
The manual names warning lights, not reflective paint, as the nighttime feature for channeling devices. This answer generalizes the sloping stripes on barricades and panel devices into an all-sides reflective coating the manual never lists.
