A brown traffic sign directs you to what type of location?
-
A.
Directions and distances on interstate highways
-
B.
Areas of public recreation or cultural and historical significance Correct
-
C.
Roadside services such as gas, food, and motels
-
D.
Detours through active construction zones
The answer is "Areas of public recreation or cultural and historical significance"
Brown signs point drivers to parks, scenic areas, and sites of cultural or historical significance. Test-takers who lump every "destination help" sign into one color pick C, but roadside services (gas, food, motels) belong to the blue-and-white service group, not to brown.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Directions and distances on interstate highways
Green guide signs carry directions, distances, and mile-marker information on interstates. Confuses the mileage printed on brown scenic-attraction signs with the exit distances printed on green interstate guide signs.
C. Roadside services such as gas, food, and motels
Blue-and-white service signs, not brown signs, direct drivers to gas, food, and lodging. Recalls brown signs standing next to gas and food icons at highway rest areas and assigns the services themselves to brown instead of to the blue-and-white service group.
D. Detours through active construction zones
Orange signs mark construction and maintenance warnings, not brown ones. Groups brown with orange as off-standard warm colors and reaches for either whenever a construction cue appears in a choice.
