The number printed on a green exit sign helps a driver:
-
A.
Identify which exit to take. Correct
-
B.
Know the speed limit on the ramp.
-
C.
See how far it is to the next city.
-
D.
Find which route number they are on.
The answer is "Identify which exit to take."
The number on an exit sign is a label that tells you which exit to take, and nothing more. Test-takers who pick the ramp speed answer are reaching for the yellow advisory speed sign posted for freeway ramps, which sits one page earlier in the manual and shares the highway setting that makes the two easy to swap.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Know the speed limit on the ramp.
Ramp speeds appear on yellow advisory speed signs, not on the green exit sign. Half-remembers that a number posted near a ramp must be the safe ramp speed, which is what the yellow advisory sign on the previous manual page actually carries.
C. See how far it is to the next city.
Distances to cities appear on separate green mileage signs, not on the exit number itself. Reads the exit number as a mileage figure because both surfaces are green guide signs and blur together at highway speed.
D. Find which route number they are on.
Route numbers appear on shield-shaped interstate, U.S. route, or state highway markers, not on the green exit sign. Swaps the exit number for the route shield printed just above it on the same manual page, since both are numbers tied to the highway.
