You move a barrier so you can cross onto a road closed for construction. According to the Nevada manual, what happens?
-
A.
It is legal as long as you drive under 15 mph
-
B.
It is a warning offense the first time only
-
C.
It is legal if no workers or equipment are present
-
D.
It is illegal, and you face double work-zone penalties Correct
The answer is "It is illegal, and you face double work-zone penalties"
The manual bans moving barriers or signs to cross a closed road and pairs the ban with the double-penalty structure that applies to work-zone violations. The wrong answers invent lenient conditions the manual does not provide.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. It is legal as long as you drive under 15 mph
The manual sets no low-speed exception; the act is illegal regardless of speed. This answer borrows the school-zone 15 mph limit to invent an exception the manual does not offer.
B. It is a warning offense the first time only
The manual describes double penalties, not a first-time warning treatment. This answer softens the manual's double-penalty rule into a first-offense warning that is not in the text.
C. It is legal if no workers or equipment are present
The manual gives no workers-absent exception for moving barriers on a closed road. This answer borrows the everyday assumption that work-zone rules only bite while a crew is actively on site.
