You see a blue sign with a white letter H. What does it tell you?
-
A.
A historic landmark is nearby.
-
B.
The road leads to a hospital. Correct
-
C.
A highway entrance is ahead.
-
D.
A heavy-vehicle route begins here.
The answer is "The road leads to a hospital."
A blue sign carrying an H marks the road to a hospital, which sits inside the motorist services category (gas, food, lodging, rest area, EV charging, accessible parking, hospital). Choice A tempts readers who conflate this blue H with the brown Historic, Cultural, and Recreational signs described one paragraph earlier in the manual, which do point to historic landmarks but use brown, not blue.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A historic landmark is nearby.
Historic landmarks would appear on a brown sign, not a blue one. This answer confuses the blue motorist services sign with the brown Historic, Cultural, and Recreational signs described one paragraph earlier in the same section.
C. A highway entrance is ahead.
Highway entrances and route markers are not the same family of sign as motorist services. This answer reads the H as shorthand for 'highway' and mistakes a blue motorist services sign for a route or exit marker.
D. A heavy-vehicle route begins here.
Heavy-vehicle routes are not identified by an H on a blue sign. This answer invents a heavy-vehicle category not listed among the motorist services examples (gas, food, lodging, rest area, EV charging, accessible parking, hospital).
