Where does the manual say DO NOT ENTER signs are placed?
-
A.
Only at exits of limited-access highways
-
B.
At the end of divided highway medians
-
C.
At the beginning of one-way streets and ramps Correct
-
D.
At the far end of a one-way street or ramp
The answer is "At the beginning of one-way streets and ramps"
The manual places DO NOT ENTER signs at the beginning of one-way streets and ramps so drivers see the warning before they turn in. Choice D swaps the pair: WRONG WAY, not DO NOT ENTER, is the sign placed farther down the ramp to catch a driver who has already turned in.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only at exits of limited-access highways
The manual applies DO NOT ENTER to any wrong-direction entry, not just freeway off-ramps. This answer generalizes from the freeway off-ramp where a new driver first notices the sign and forgets that city one-way streets carry it too.
B. At the end of divided highway medians
Medians are not the trigger for DO NOT ENTER; the sign marks the entry to a one-way route. This answer confuses DO NOT ENTER with the DIVIDED HIGHWAY regulatory sign because both address split-direction roadways.
D. At the far end of a one-way street or ramp
WRONG WAY signs, not DO NOT ENTER, are placed farther down the one-way street or ramp to catch drivers who already turned in. This answer swaps the roles inside the DO NOT ENTER and WRONG WAY pair, pairing the entry warning with the sign placed deeper along the route.
