This sign means?
- School zone ends
- School crosswalk, yield to pedestrians ✓
- You are entering a playground zone
- Pedestrians or vehicles may not enter the roadway
Answer: B. School crosswalk, yield to pedestrians
The sign marks a school crosswalk, meaning you must yield to pedestrians crossing there, and if a crossing guard is present, follow that guard's directions.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists this among the school, playground and crosswalk signs, which set out the rules for places where you need to be extra careful. For a school crosswalk, the instruction given is to yield to pedestrians, and to follow a crossing guard's directions when one is on duty. That matches the bank answer. Note that this is a sign reading question, so the meaning comes from the handbook's list of sign meanings rather than from any picture detail.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. School zone ends — A school zone ending is a different message; the handbook treats the school zone speed limit as its own separate sign entry, not as a crosswalk sign.
- C. You are entering a playground zone — A playground zone is listed separately, with the handbook noting a 30 km/h limit in effect every day from dawn to dusk, so it is not the school crosswalk meaning.
- D. Pedestrians or vehicles may not enter the roadway — Nothing in the passages gives this as a sign meaning; the crosswalk signs in the handbook tell you to yield to people crossing, not that the roadway is closed to them.
Remember it
School signs come in pairs: one warns you children are crossing and you yield, the other sets the speed limit while children are around. Match the message to the sign.
