You have just left an expressway. What does the manual say to do about your speed?
-
A.
Match the speed of the vehicle in front of you
-
B.
Look for speed limit signs and check your speedometer Correct
-
C.
Continue at expressway speed until a lower sign appears
-
D.
Drop instantly to 25 mph until you reach a residential area
The answer is "Look for speed limit signs and check your speedometer"
After leaving an expressway, look for speed limit signs and check your speedometer to stay within the posted limit. Option C reflects an expectation that the exit will be marked the way an entrance is, with a lower posted sign to signal the change.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Match the speed of the vehicle in front of you
The manual tells you to check posted signs and your speedometer, not the vehicle in front. This answer substitutes the pack-following habit for the sign-check the manual names.
C. Continue at expressway speed until a lower sign appears
The manual tells you to check the speedometer, not to wait for a lower posted sign. This answer expects the transition off the expressway to be marked the way an entrance is.
D. Drop instantly to 25 mph until you reach a residential area
The manual gives no fixed 25 mph number for leaving an expressway; it tells you to look for posted signs and check your speedometer. Applies a memorized slow-street speed to the moment the expressway ends.
