You see a green sign with a city name and an arrow. What kind of sign is this?
-
A.
A guide sign showing direction to that city. Correct
-
B.
A regulatory sign requiring you to turn.
-
C.
A warning sign about a coming intersection.
-
D.
A motorist service sign for fuel and food.
The answer is "A guide sign showing direction to that city."
Green identifies guide and information signs. A green sign with a city name and arrow points you toward that destination. The color tells you the category before you read the words: green means guidance, not regulation, not warning, not service.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. A regulatory sign requiring you to turn.
A green directional sign gives guidance, not a regulatory order; it does not require any maneuver. Misreading: Treats a green guide sign as a regulatory command, ignoring that green signs give exit information or show the direction of roads or cities.
C. A warning sign about a coming intersection.
Warning signs are yellow with symbols, not green with city names. Misreading: Confuses green guide signs with yellow warning signs that announce intersections like Crossroad or Side Road ahead.
D. A motorist service sign for fuel and food.
Motorist service signs are blue, not green. Misreading: Confuses green guide signs with the blue Motorist Service Signs that indicate gas, food, and lodging.
