This sign means?
- Hazard close to the edge of the road
- You may exit if you remain in right-hand lane
- Roundabout ahead ✓
- Sharp curves in the road
Answer: C. Roundabout ahead
The sign means a roundabout is ahead.
Why this is the answer
The handbook describes roundabouts as intersections you prepare for before entering: lane-use signs or markings at the approaches show where each lane goes, and you should know your exit and be in the proper lane. It also says to slow down on approach and yield to traffic already in the roundabout. A sign with this meaning warns you that a roundabout is coming, so you can choose your lane and speed early. The passages do not describe the sign's shape or symbols, so the explanation rests on the roundabout guidance rather than on the picture.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Hazard close to the edge of the road — A hazard close to the edge of the road is not what the roundabout passages describe; they discuss preparing to enter and move through a roundabout.
- B. You may exit if you remain in right-hand lane — The passages do not say you may exit just by staying in the right-hand lane; they say to choose the correct lane before entering and stay in the lane you entered.
- D. Sharp curves in the road — Sharp curves are listed in the handbook as a separate warning sign, so that meaning does not match the roundabout guidance.
Remember it
When a roundabout is coming, pick your exit and lane early, then slow down and yield.
