The word BUS is painted in white in a travel lane. What tells you who may use the lane and during which hours?
-
A.
The posted signs at the location Correct
-
B.
The color of the pavement legend
-
C.
Whether the legend spells out BUS ONLY or BUS STOP
-
D.
A federal default schedule for bus lanes
The answer is "The posted signs at the location"
The BUS pavement legend identifies a lane or curb zone as bus-designated, but the posted regulatory signs at that location are what state who may enter and when. The trap is the choice that reads the specific legend wording as if BUS ONLY versus BUS STOP carried the schedule itself; the pavement word only supplements the signs, and the signs carry the who and the when.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. The color of the pavement legend
White identifies the marking as a preferential-lane word, and every such legend is white regardless of the specific rule in force. This answer treats the white color of the legend as if it carried the operating hours and the list of drivers allowed in the lane.
C. Whether the legend spells out BUS ONLY or BUS STOP
Both BUS ONLY and BUS STOP are standard federal legends, and neither wording spells out a schedule or the drivers permitted. This answer reads the specific legend wording as if it, rather than the posted regulatory sign beside it, fixed the hours and eligible users.
D. A federal default schedule for bus lanes
There is no federal default schedule for a bus lane; the posted signs at the location are what set the hours. This answer assumes a nationwide standard timetable governs when the BUS restriction applies, when eligibility and timing are carried on the sign.
