What does this Lodging sign tell a driver?
-
A.
A hotel, motel, or other overnight lodging is available ahead. Correct
-
B.
A public rest area with restrooms is available ahead.
-
C.
A restaurant or food service is available ahead.
-
D.
A campground for overnight camping is available ahead.
The answer is "A hotel, motel, or other overnight lodging is available ahead."
The blue Lodging services sign marks a hotel, motel, or other overnight lodging near the exit ahead. The choice pointing to a rest area is the trap because both signs are blue services panels, and a driver who does not check the pictograph reaches for the roadside stop a highway traveler uses more often. The person-lying-in-a-bed pictograph separates them: it signals a paid room for the night, not a roadside pull-out.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. A public rest area with restrooms is available ahead.
A rest area is marked by its own blue services sign showing a picnic table or restroom symbol, not the person-in-bed pictograph used for lodging. This answer treats every blue services sign as a rest area rather than reading the specific pictograph inside the square.
C. A restaurant or food service is available ahead.
Food service has its own blue sign showing a knife-and-fork or cup pictograph, not a person lying in a bed. This answer assumes any blue services panel promises food, ignoring that each pictograph points to a different service.
D. A campground for overnight camping is available ahead.
Camping is marked by a tent pictograph on its own blue sign, not by the person-lying-in-a-bed symbol used here. This answer reads the word 'overnight' as tent camping outdoors instead of a paid room indoors.
