According to the Nevada manual, how are highway work zones identified?
-
A.
Yellow signs, cones and reflectors
-
B.
Red signs, flashing lights and gates
-
C.
Orange signs, cones and barrels Correct
-
D.
White signs, drums and pylons
The answer is "Orange signs, cones and barrels"
The manual gives a specific three-part identification list for work zones: orange signs, cones, and barrels. The other colors listed here belong to warning, stop, or regulatory signs, not to work-zone identification.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Yellow signs, cones and reflectors
Yellow is the manual's color for general warning signs, not work-zone identification. Applies the general 'warnings are yellow' rule to work zones, before learning the manual splits off road construction as its own orange category.
B. Red signs, flashing lights and gates
Red is the manual's color for stop and prohibition, and the item list is wrong for work zones. This answer borrows the red stop-sign color and railroad-crossing imagery instead of orange work-zone markers.
D. White signs, drums and pylons
White is the color the manual assigns to regulatory signs, not to work-zone identification. This answer confuses the white regulatory-sign color with the orange color that identifies work zones.
