According to the manual, rectangular guide signs in green, brown, or blue specifically provide what?
-
A.
Names and phone numbers of businesses
-
B.
Directions and distances Correct
-
C.
Warnings about upcoming hazards
-
D.
Which turns are prohibited at the next intersection
The answer is "Directions and distances"
The manual's guide-signs bullet names directions and distances as the two things these rectangular green, brown, or blue signs provide. Drivers who carry the logo-and-number look of private exit-service billboards onto the state's own guide signs pick the business-listings answer instead.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Names and phone numbers of businesses
The manual pairs these rectangular green, brown, or blue signs with directions and distances, not with business listings. Carries over the logo-and-number format of private exit-service billboards and reads any rectangular roadside sign as a commercial listing.
C. Warnings about upcoming hazards
Hazard warnings are the job of the yellow diamond and pennant family the manual lays out a page earlier, not the rectangular green, brown, or blue guide signs. Treats color alone as the cue and skips the yellow-diamond shape the manual pairs with caution and warning content.
D. Which turns are prohibited at the next intersection
Turn prohibitions are regulatory messages, and the manual prints them on black-and-white or red-and-white rectangles. This answer goes by the rectangle shape, which both families share, when color is what separates them.
