This sign means?
- Divider ahead
- Merge Ahead
- Both lanes travel in the same direction
- Two-way traffic, keep right unless passing ✓
Answer: D. Two-way traffic, keep right unless passing
The sign means two-way traffic, and you keep right unless passing.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's list of common signs gives this exact meaning: two-way traffic — keep right unless passing. So when you see this sign, expect traffic coming toward you in the other direction, and use the right side of the road as your normal position. Moving left is tied to passing, not to ordinary driving. The sign does not announce a divider, a merge, or lanes going the same way.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Divider ahead — Nothing in the handbook passages says this sign means a divider is ahead; the listed meaning is two-way traffic with keep right unless passing.
- B. Merge Ahead — The passages do not give merge ahead as the meaning of this sign; the sign listed means two-way traffic, keep right unless passing.
- C. Both lanes travel in the same direction — Two-way traffic means traffic can come toward you, so saying both lanes travel the same direction contradicts the sign's meaning.
Remember it
Remember the phrase: two-way traffic, stay right unless you are passing.
