What shape and color does the manual use for standard warning signs?
-
A.
Rectangle, green with white letters
-
B.
Octagon, red with white letters
-
C.
Pentagon, orange with black letters
-
D.
Diamond, yellow with black symbols Correct
The answer is "Diamond, yellow with black symbols"
The manual says warning signs are usually diamond shaped with black symbols or words on a yellow background, and it identifies NO PASSING ZONE as the only pennant-shaped warning sign. Green with white letters marks highway guide signs, red octagons mark stop signs, and orange marks work-zone signs. Answer B reaches for the most memorable regulatory sign as if it stood in for every roadside notice.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Rectangle, green with white letters
Standard warning signs usually use yellow diamonds; green with white letters marks highway and expressway guide signs. Recalls the color scheme of interstate guide signs and pins it on the warning category.
B. Octagon, red with white letters
Standard warning signs usually use yellow diamonds; the red octagon shape is reserved for stop signs. Grabs the most memorable regulatory sign as if it stood in for every roadside notice.
C. Pentagon, orange with black letters
Standard warning signs usually use yellow diamonds; orange with black is the work-zone color scheme. Blends the work-zone orange background with the school-zone pentagon shape into one guess.
