This sign means?
- Playground nearby ✓
- School crosswalk
- School bus stop ahead
- No pedestrians
Answer: A. Playground nearby
The sign means a playground is nearby, so you should be ready to slow down.
Why this is the answer
The handbook groups this sign with school, playground and crosswalk signs, saying these signs give rules for places where you need to be extra careful. In that list it identifies the playground sign and says it means a playground is nearby and you should be prepared to slow down. That matches the meaning given, and it does not describe a school crossing, a bus stop, or a ban on pedestrians.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. School crosswalk — A school crosswalk sign is listed separately and calls for yielding to people crossing and following a crossing guard's directions if one is present.
- C. School bus stop ahead — A school bus stop ahead is not described in the passages and is not what the playground sign is listed as meaning.
- D. No pedestrians — No pedestrians is not listed in the handbook passages and does not match the playground sign's meaning.
Remember it
Link the playground sign to a child's play area: see it and ease off, because the handbook says to be ready to slow down.
