The manual mentions a smaller "recommended speed" sign that appears with certain warning signs. According to the manual, how is that smaller sign positioned in relation to the warning sign?
-
A.
It is posted one mile ahead of the warning sign.
-
B.
It replaces the warning sign inside city limits.
-
C.
It appears on the opposite side of the road.
-
D.
It is joined with the warning sign on the same post. Correct
The answer is "It is joined with the warning sign on the same post."
The manual says the recommended-speed sign is 'joined' with the warning sign, so the two share a mounting rather than sitting at separate points along the road. Option A is the trap for drivers who picture a standalone advisory speed plate posted well ahead of the warning, borrowing the layout highway agencies use for exit-distance plates.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. It is posted one mile ahead of the warning sign.
The manual pairs the two signs together on the same mounting, not at separate points along the road. Pictures the smaller sign as an advance-warning marker, borrowing the layout highway agencies use for exit-distance plates.
B. It replaces the warning sign inside city limits.
The recommended-speed sign is joined with the warning sign, so it works as a supplemental advisory plate rather than taking the warning sign's place. Reads the smaller sign as a city-specific override, applying an urban-versus-rural distinction the manual does not draw.
C. It appears on the opposite side of the road.
The manual pairs the smaller sign directly with the warning sign, not across the roadway from it. Confuses the paired setup with the practice of posting a duplicate sign facing oncoming traffic, which serves a different purpose.
