The manual says a yellow warning sign means you are approaching a hazardous location. What is the other kind of location it says these signs mark?
-
A.
A location where there is a special rule. Correct
-
B.
A location where a state route number changes.
-
C.
A location where lane use is controlled by an officer.
-
D.
A location where fuel or lodging services are available.
The answer is "A location where there is a special rule."
A yellow warning sign has two meanings in the manual: a hazardous location ahead, or a location where a special rule applies. A test-taker who picks the fuel-and-lodging answer is reaching for the blue service signs taught a few manual pages earlier in the same chapter and never checking that warning signs are yellow, not blue.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. A location where a state route number changes.
Route markers show route numbers and are a separate sign category from warning signs. This answer assumes any change signaled on the road belongs to the warning category.
C. A location where lane use is controlled by an officer.
The manual covers officer signals in its own section, not under warning signs. This answer expects a yellow diamond before every location an officer may stand.
D. A location where fuel or lodging services are available.
Blue service signs mark fuel and lodging, not yellow warning signs. This answer reaches for the service-sign category taught a few manual pages earlier in the same chapter.
