You see a green sign with a city name and an arrow. What kind of sign is this?
-
A.
A regulatory sign requiring you to turn.
-
B.
A warning sign about a coming intersection.
-
C.
A motorist service sign for fuel and food.
-
D.
A guide sign showing direction to that city. Correct
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. Drivers who pick the motorist service answer are recalling the blue signs for gas, food, and lodging that sit on the very next manual page; those service signs share the same roadside-information framing as guide signs but carry a different color and category.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A regulatory sign requiring you to turn.
A green directional sign gives guidance, not a regulatory order; it does not require any maneuver. This answer reads the arrow as a command to turn rather than as a pointer to where a destination lies, a mistake driven by seeing arrows on regulatory signs like One Way.
B. A warning sign about a coming intersection.
Warning signs are yellow with symbols, not green with city names. This answer assumes any arrow on a highway sign warns of an approaching intersection, forgetting that intersection warnings are yellow Crossroad or Side Road signs rather than green destination signs.
C. A motorist service sign for fuel and food.
Motorist service signs are blue, not green. This answer recalls that gas, food, and lodging signs sit right beside guide signs in the manual and forgets those service signs are blue rather than green.
