This sign means?
- Right lane ends ahead ✓
- Hidden intersection ahead
- Steep hill ahead
- Pedestrian crossing ahead
Answer: A. Right lane ends ahead
The sign means that the right lane ends ahead.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says this sign tells you the right lane will soon come to an end. If you are driving in that lane, you need to move over: adjust your speed while staying within the speed limit, wait for a safe gap in the other lane, and change lanes. If you are in the lane beside it, the handbook asks you to help merging traffic by adjusting your speed or changing lanes. That matches the lane-ending meaning, not a warning about an intersection, a hill, or pedestrians.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Hidden intersection ahead — The passages do not give this sign a hidden-intersection meaning; the lane-ending passage says the sign tells you the right lane will end soon.
- C. Steep hill ahead — A steep hill ahead is listed as its own warning sign in the handbook, separate from the sign described as meaning the right lane will end soon.
- D. Pedestrian crossing ahead — No passage connects this sign with a pedestrian crossing; the supporting passage assigns it a right-lane-ending meaning.
Remember it
When the sign warns that a lane is ending, think merge preparation, not stopping.
