A blue-and-white sign along the highway directs you to which of the following?
-
A.
Construction zones and work areas.
-
B.
Scenic overlooks and historical sites.
-
C.
Regulatory speed and traffic limits.
-
D.
Gas stations, food, motels, and hospitals. Correct
The answer is "Gas stations, food, motels, and hospitals."
Blue-and-white service signs point drivers to gas, food, lodging, and hospital services along the route. A tempts drivers who remember 'brown means tourist destinations' and stretch that shortcut across any tourist-style sign, when brown is reserved for parks and historic sites and blue handles the roadside services you actually pull off for.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Construction zones and work areas.
Construction and maintenance warnings use an orange background, not blue. This answer groups any bright roadside color under 'work zone' by default, rather than matching orange specifically to construction and maintenance signs.
B. Scenic overlooks and historical sites.
Scenic and historical destinations are signed in brown and white, not blue. This answer carries the tourist-info feel across both color families and picks the more familiar category, when brown covers parks and historic sites while blue is reserved for motorist services.
C. Regulatory speed and traffic limits.
Speed limits and other regulatory rules use white signs with black text. This answer treats any official-looking rectangular sign as enforceable, missing that the manual assigns regulatory duty to white-and-black signs and blue only to driver guidance.
