What information do guide signs give a driver?
-
A.
Locations of construction and maintenance zones.
-
B.
Legal speed limits and lane-use rules along the road.
-
C.
Warnings about road conditions and hazards ahead.
-
D.
Where you are, what road you are on, and how to get to a location. Correct
The answer is "Where you are, what road you are on, and how to get to a location."
Guide signs tell you where you are, what road you are on, and how to get to a specific location. Speed-limit info tempts drivers who confuse regulatory signs, which give rules, with guide signs, which give information about routes and places.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Locations of construction and maintenance zones.
Construction and maintenance zones are called out on orange signs, not guide signs. This answer blends orange construction signage with the guide-sign category.
B. Legal speed limits and lane-use rules along the road.
Speed limits and lane rules are set on regulatory signs, not guide signs. This answer confuses guide signs with the regulatory-sign category studied nearby.
C. Warnings about road conditions and hazards ahead.
Warnings appear on yellow warning signs, not guide signs. This answer assigns the warning-sign purpose to the wrong color category.
