This sign means?
- Means a traffic circle ahead
- Do not enter roadway
- Do not enter unless local traffic
- Shows an action that is not permitted ✓
Answer: D. Shows an action that is not permitted
This sign shows an action that is not permitted.
Why this is the answer
The sign section of the handbook includes 'Shows an action that is not permitted' as one of the meanings a sign can carry. That is the meaning tied to the correct answer here. The passage does not attach a more specific instruction, such as a named turn or a road-entry rule, to this sign. So the supported reading is the general one: the sign tells you that an action is not allowed. The other choices name specific situations that the supplied passages do not connect to this sign.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Means a traffic circle ahead — The passages do not mention a sign that means a traffic circle is ahead, so that meaning is not supported by the handbook material given.
- B. Do not enter roadway — No passage says this sign means do not enter the roadway; that is a different message from the general wording about an action not being permitted.
- C. Do not enter unless local traffic — The passages do not give any local-traffic exception for this sign, so it cannot be read as allowing local traffic through.
Remember it
Ask 'what action is being banned here?' rather than 'where does this road go?'
