A warning sign shows the main road curving left with a side road entering from the right. What specific hazard does the manual name?
-
A.
The side road is a no-outlet dead end
-
B.
Deer often cross where the two roads meet
-
C.
The pavement in the curve is especially slippery when wet
-
D.
Entering drivers may not see you around the curve Correct
The answer is "Entering drivers may not see you around the curve"
The manual warns that a driver preparing to enter the main road may not be able to see you approaching from around the curve. B looks right to anyone defaulting to the DEER CROSSING warning shown on the next page, reading a rural-looking yellow diamond posted along a bend as a wildlife alert.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. The side road is a no-outlet dead end
The symbol depicts a live side road entering the main road, not a dead-end stub. This answer reads the short side-road stub in the symbol as a closed end, applying the NO OUTLET warning to any T-junction drawn on a yellow diamond.
B. Deer often cross where the two roads meet
The ROAD ENTERING CURVE sign flags sight lines around the bend, not wildlife at the intersection. This answer defaults to the DEER CROSSING warning shown on the next page, treating any rural-looking yellow diamond posted along a bend as a wildlife alert.
C. The pavement in the curve is especially slippery when wet
The manual attaches this sign to a hidden side road, not to slippery pavement through the curve. This answer attaches SLIPPERY WHEN WET to any warning sign that shows a curve, though the manual gives that hazard its own separate sign one page later.
