You see an orange sign along the highway. What does this color tell you?
-
A.
A general warning about upcoming hazards
-
B.
A driver service such as food or lodging
-
C.
A recreation or scenic area destination
-
D.
A work zone or road construction area ahead Correct
The answer is "A work zone or road construction area ahead"
The manual assigns orange exclusively to road construction and repair warnings, and it repeats in the work-zones section that work zones are identified with orange signs, cones, and barrels. The wrong choices offer other color meanings from the manual's list: blue for driver services, brown for recreation, and yellow for general warnings.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A general warning about upcoming hazards
Yellow marks general warnings; orange is reserved specifically for construction and repair. This answer confuses the general-warning color yellow with the construction color orange.
B. A driver service such as food or lodging
Blue, not orange, marks driver services such as food, gas, and lodging. This answer confuses blue driver-services signs with orange construction signs.
C. A recreation or scenic area destination
Brown, not orange, marks recreation and scenic area information. This answer swaps brown recreation signs for orange construction signs.
