Blue signs along a highway tell you about:
-
A.
Motorist services like gas, food, and lodging. Correct
-
B.
Direction to nearby cities and exits.
-
C.
Parks, scenic areas, and picnic grounds.
-
D.
Speed limits and turn restrictions.
The answer is "Motorist services like gas, food, and lodging."
Blue signs identify motorist services along the highway: gas, food, lodging, rest areas, hospitals, electric vehicle charging, and accessible facilities. Blue is the services color, separate from green guidance and brown recreation.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Direction to nearby cities and exits.
Direction to cities and exit information is shown on green guide signs. Misreading: Confuses blue motorist-service signs with green guide signs that show exit information and directions to cities.
C. Parks, scenic areas, and picnic grounds.
Parks and scenic areas are signed in brown, not blue. Misreading: Confuses blue motorist-service signs with brown historic, cultural, and recreational signs that point to parks and picnic grounds.
D. Speed limits and turn restrictions.
Speed limits and turn rules are regulatory signs in white with black lettering, not blue. Misreading: Confuses blue motorist-service signs with white regulatory signs that post speed limits and turn restrictions.
