-
A.
Guide signs pointing to destinations
-
B.
Regulatory signs like STOP and YIELD Correct
-
C.
Construction signs in work zones
-
D.
Warning signs about road conditions
The answer is "Regulatory signs like STOP and YIELD"
Red is the color of regulatory signs that must be obeyed, including STOP, YIELD, DO NOT ENTER, and WRONG WAY. Choice D traps readers who remember the red band on a STOP AHEAD warning triangle and carry that red over to warning signs as a category.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Guide signs pointing to destinations
Guide signs use green, blue, or brown. This answer ties red to the bold destination logos on some interstate exit boards.
C. Construction signs in work zones
Construction and maintenance signs are orange. This answer assigns the loudest attention color to the loudest area of the road.
D. Warning signs about road conditions
Warning signs about road conditions run yellow, yellow-green, or orange. This answer pulls the red band on a STOP AHEAD warning across to the warning category as a whole.
