What kind of place does a brown sign point to?
-
A.
Hazards or changes in road conditions.
-
B.
Route numbers for highways and freeways.
-
C.
Gas, food, and lodging at the next exit.
-
D.
Historic, cultural, and recreational sites. Correct
The answer is "Historic, cultural, and recreational sites."
Brown signs mark historic, cultural, and recreational locations, including scenic areas, picnic grounds, and parks. Choice C tempts drivers who lump every roadside amenity under one color; gas, food, and lodging live on the blue motorist-service signs on the next page, not on brown recreation signs.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Hazards or changes in road conditions.
Hazards and road-condition changes are signed with yellow warning diamonds, not brown recreation signs. This answer defaults to the yellow warning palette after recalling only that Oregon color-codes its signs by purpose.
B. Route numbers for highways and freeways.
Route numbers ride on the interstate, U.S. route, and state highway shields at the top of the same page, not on brown signs. This answer groups every sign in the Route, Guide, and Information section under the route-number banner that opens it.
C. Gas, food, and lodging at the next exit.
Gas, food, and lodging appear on the blue motorist-service signs, not brown. This answer lumps every roadside amenity, from picnic grounds to gas pumps, under a single sign color.
