A yellow diamond warning sign shows a leaping deer. What does the Florida manual say this sign means?
-
A.
A wildlife facility releases deer that cross the road here.
-
B.
Reduce your speed to the posted advisory speed.
-
C.
A state wildlife refuge exit is coming up on this road.
-
D.
Watch for the pictured animal crossing at twilight and nighttime. Correct
The answer is "Watch for the pictured animal crossing at twilight and nighttime."
The animal crossing sign warns that the pictured species is common in the area and that crossings peak at twilight and nighttime, so scan the shoulders as the light fades. Drivers who pair any wildlife image with the brown-and-white recreation signs pointing to parks and preserves reach for the state wildlife refuge answer instead.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A wildlife facility releases deer that cross the road here.
Animal Crossing warns about wild animals common to the area, not a scheduled crossing from a specific facility. This answer reads the deer silhouette like the Truck Crossing sign on the same page and expects animals to come from a named origin point rather than the surrounding habitat.
B. Reduce your speed to the posted advisory speed.
Advisory speed reductions come from a separate advisory speed panel showing a printed number, and the animal image alone does not set a speed. This answer treats every yellow diamond as an advisory speed sign because yellow reads as slow down.
C. A state wildlife refuge exit is coming up on this road.
Refuges and other recreation destinations are marked by brown-and-white guide signs, not by yellow warning diamonds. This answer pairs any wildlife image with the brown recreation signs used to point out parks and preserves.
