How to read signs like this
Regulatory signs tell you what the law requires: stop, yield, speed limits, turns and lanes. Most are white rectangles with black or red. Red means stop, yield or a prohibition; a red circle with a slash means “no”.
Practice question
This sign is mounted on the end of a median island. What does it tell you?
- A The road curves gently to the right ahead
- B Traffic may pass on either side of the island
- C A divided highway begins just ahead
- D Pass only to the right of the island
Show answer
D. Pass only to the right of the island
This white regulatory sign shows an arrow passing to the right of a shape that stands for the island. It is used where traffic must pass only to the right of a median, island or obstruction. Passing on the left could put you into the path of oncoming traffic.
