According to the Florida manual, green guide signs provide directions and what other information?
-
A.
Distances Correct
-
B.
Available services
-
C.
Historical points of interest
-
D.
Speed limits
The answer is "Distances"
Green guide signs carry both directions and distances (mileage to destinations), which is why exit-and-mile boards use green backgrounds. The trap is 'available services': a driver who lumps every helpful highway sign together forgets the manual sorts gas, food, motels, and hospitals onto the blue and white service signs printed one line below green in the color list.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Available services
Gas, food, motels, and hospitals are directed to by blue and white service signs, not green. This answer lumps all helpful highway signs under one color, so the service list drifts up from the blue row into the green row of the manual.
C. Historical points of interest
Cultural and historical destinations are directed to by brown and white signs. This answer reaches for the brown-sign category on the strength of remembering that highways guide drivers to landmarks, without checking which color carries them.
D. Speed limits
Speed limits appear on white and black regulatory signs, not on green guide signs. This answer treats every posted number on a highway as a limit, so any color that carries numbers reads as speed instead of mileage.
