Service signs mark the location of which of the following?
-
A.
Hazards that require reduced speed on the road
-
B.
Cities and towns and the distance to reach them
-
C.
Rest areas, gas stations, camping, or medical facilities Correct
-
D.
Interstate, U.S., state, or county numbered routes
The answer is "Rest areas, gas stations, camping, or medical facilities"
Service signs point out places that support a trip: rest areas, gas stations, camping, and medical facilities. Choice B is the trap for a driver who groups every 'sign that helps you find a place' under one category; place names and mileage belong on green destination signs, while blue service signs are limited to the service categories the manual lists.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Hazards that require reduced speed on the road
Hazards and reduced-speed advisories appear on yellow warning signs, not on blue service signs. This answer reads the word 'service' as a general 'anything the sign does for the driver' and pulls in warnings too.
B. Cities and towns and the distance to reach them
City names and mileage are provided by green destination signs, not by blue service signs. This answer groups every place-finding sign together and misses that destinations and services carry separate colors and roles.
D. Interstate, U.S., state, or county numbered routes
Numbered routes are marked by route signs whose shape identifies the route type, not by service signs. This answer confuses the two blue-and-white style signs a driver sees on interstates and treats route identity as one of the services.
