A green sign with white lettering on the freeway most often gives you:
-
A.
Reminders of the posted speed limit.
-
B.
Warnings about curves or hazards ahead.
-
C.
Exit information and direction to cities. Correct
-
D.
Route numbers for interstate highways.
The answer is "Exit information and direction to cities."
Guide and information signs are green: they give exit information and direct you to roads and cities. Warnings are yellow, speed limits are black on white regulatory signs, and interstate route numbers ride a separate red, white, and blue shield rather than a green panel. Reading the color before the text tells you which category you are looking at before you focus on the words. Choice D lures drivers who see a green freeway panel packed with numbers and forget that route numbers themselves live on the separate red, white, and blue interstate shield.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Reminders of the posted speed limit.
Speed limits are regulatory signs (black text on white), not green. This answer confuses green guide signs with regulatory speed limit signs that are black on white.
B. Warnings about curves or hazards ahead.
Warnings use yellow diamond signs, not green. This answer confuses green guide signs with yellow warning signs that flag curves and hazards.
D. Route numbers for interstate highways.
Interstate route numbers appear on a separate red, white, and blue shield, not on a green guide sign. This answer confuses green guide signs with the separate interstate route shield used for route numbers.
