A yellow diamond warning sign shows two arrows pointing in opposite directions. What does the Florida manual say it warns about?
-
A.
You must choose a left or right exit at a fork.
-
B.
The road is about to change to two-way traffic with oncoming vehicles. Correct
-
C.
The center lane is a shared left-turn lane.
-
D.
A divided highway with a physical median begins ahead.
The answer is "The road is about to change to two-way traffic with oncoming vehicles."
A Two-Way Traffic Ahead sign warns that the roadway is changing to two-way flow with oncoming traffic, so stay right and watch for vehicles in the other lane. The Divided Highway Ahead answer traps test-takers who see two opposing arrows and read them as a median beginning rather than as a switch in traffic flow.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. You must choose a left or right exit at a fork.
Fork-direction guidance is handled by regulatory signs like Must Turn or Keep Right, not by a yellow warning diamond. This answer carries over the regulatory Must Turn sign's pick-a-direction habit because both signs share the two-opposing-arrows look.
C. The center lane is a shared left-turn lane.
Shared turn lanes are marked by the regulatory Center Turn Lane sign, not by a yellow warning of opposing traffic. This answer links opposing arrows to the center-turn-lane diagram taught nearby.
D. A divided highway with a physical median begins ahead.
A median or physical barrier beginning is the Divided Highway Ahead sign; Two-Way Traffic Ahead warns of a change to two-way flow with oncoming traffic. This answer sees two opposing arrows and reads a median beginning rather than a switch to two-way flow.
