- B 15 mph
- C 30 mph
- D 45 mph
Show answer
C. 30 mph
Vehicles that travel 30 mph or less, like farm equipment and horse-drawn buggies, must display the slow-moving vehicle emblem. Slow down or prepare to pass when you see it.
You approach an intersection and this sign faces you. What must you do?
- A Slow down and stop only if cross traffic is close
- B Stop only when a pedestrian is waiting at the corner
- C Get ready, because you will need to stop farther ahead
- D Come to a full stop, then go only when the way is clear
Show answer
D. Come to a full stop, then go only when the way is clear
The red octagon is used for one sign only, and it means a full stop is always required. After stopping, yield to cross traffic and pedestrians and go only when it is safe. Because no other sign shares this shape, you can recognize it even when you cannot read the word.
