Which color identifies a guide or information sign that gives exit information or shows the direction of roads and cities?
-
A.
Green Correct
-
B.
Brown
-
C.
Blue
-
D.
Yellow
The answer is "Green"
Green identifies guide or information signs. They tell you which way to go to reach a city, an exit, or a named road. Brown is reserved for historic, cultural, and recreational destinations like parks. Blue marks motorist services such as gas, food, and lodging. Yellow is the warning color and never carries directional or destination information.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Brown
Brown is reserved for historic, cultural, and recreational signs that point to scenic areas, picnic grounds, and parks, not road directions or exit information. Misreading: Treats the brown recreation/historic category as if it covered all destination signage, ignoring the manual's separate green guide-sign category for exits and road directions.
C. Blue
Blue motorist service signs point to gas, food, lodging, and hospitals along the highway, not to exits or road directions. Misreading: Confuses the blue motorist-services category with the green guide-sign category that carries exit numbers and direction-of-roads information.
D. Yellow
Yellow is the warning color and alerts you to hazards or changes in road conditions ahead, never to destinations or exit directions. Misreading: Confuses the warning-sign color with destination guidance, which the manual assigns specifically to green guide and information signs.
