This sign means?
- Destination sign ✓
- Provincial park notification
- Pedestrian control sign
- Recreation area ahead
Answer: A. Destination sign
This sign is a destination sign, which gives information about destinations, route numbers and facilities.
Why this is the answer
The handbook groups information and destination signs together and says they provide information about destinations, route numbers and facilities. The sample destination sign it shows gives distances in kilometres. So when a sign is telling you where a place is or how far away it is, it belongs in the destination category rather than in the warning, regulatory or construction groups the chapter lists.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Provincial park notification — Nothing in the passages describes a provincial park notification as a sign category, so the handbook does not support this.
- C. Pedestrian control sign — Pedestrian control is not one of the sign types listed; the chapter covers school, playground and crosswalk signs instead.
- D. Recreation area ahead — There is no recreation area sign in the passages, and a destination sign is about giving information, not warning of something ahead.
Remember it
Ask yourself: is the sign naming a place or route? If it is giving you information rather than an order or a warning, file it under destination.
