What color scheme does the manual describe as usual for regulatory signs?
-
A.
Yellow and black
-
B.
Green and white
-
C.
Orange and black
-
D.
Black and white Correct
The answer is "Black and white"
The manual says regulatory signs are usually black and white vertical rectangles or squares, like SPEED LIMIT signs. The pull toward A comes from substituting the palette seen most often on roadside hazard boards for the one the manual reserves for legal commands.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Yellow and black
Yellow with black symbols marks warning signs, which alert you to a hazard rather than command an action. This answer substitutes the palette a driver sees most often on roadside hazard boards for the palette the manual reserves for legal commands.
B. Green and white
Green and white identifies guide signs that name destinations, exits and mileage along the highway. This answer recalls freeway destination panels and reclassifies them as legal commands because both are official roadside signs.
C. Orange and black
Orange marks temporary work-zone signage, which warns of construction rather than posts a permanent rule. This answer pictures cones and construction crews and misassigns the temporary work-zone palette to fixed regulatory signs.
