What does this Police sign tell a driver?
-
A.
A police station is located ahead. Correct
-
B.
A hospital is located ahead.
-
C.
A rest area is located ahead.
-
D.
An emergency telephone is located ahead.
The answer is "A police station is located ahead."
The white POLICE legend on a blue square directs you to a police station or other law enforcement office ahead. The hospital answer reads the blue services background correctly but ignores the legend printed on the sign, which names police work, not medical care.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. A hospital is located ahead.
The manual reserves the H symbol on a blue background for hospital directions; this sign carries the POLICE legend and points at a law enforcement office instead. This answer reaches for a hospital sign because both wear the same blue services background.
C. A rest area is located ahead.
A rest area falls under services signs and shares the blue background, but this one carries the POLICE legend, not a rest area symbol. This answer treats the blue color alone as pointing to any traveler service.
D. An emergency telephone is located ahead.
The entry mentions telephone and emergency call signs alongside this one, but the POLICE legend directs you to a station, not to a phone. This answer swaps this sign for the emergency telephone sign it appears next to in the reference list.
