Only paired with a yield sign
-
B.
Only at exits leading off a highway
-
C.

-
D.
Alone or with smaller signs Correct
The answer is "Alone or with smaller signs"
Route markers appear alone or paired with smaller signs. Exits-only snags drivers who see route markers most often at freeway ramps and generalize that familiar placement to the whole category.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only paired with a yield sign
The manual does not require pairing a route marker with a yield sign. This answer applies an intersection-based rule that route markers do not follow.
B. Only at exits leading off a highway
Route markers appear along a route, not just at exit ramps. This answer anchors on the most familiar setting for a route marker and treats it as the only setting.
C. Only in construction zones
Route markers are separate from construction signage. This answer confuses guide-sign placement with orange construction-zone posting rules.
