This sign means?
- Narrow bridge ahead
- Road under construction
- Divided highway ends
- Divided highway begins ✓
Answer: D. Divided highway begins
The sign means a divided highway begins, with traffic ahead travelling in both directions on separated roads and you keeping to the right-hand road.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's entry for divided highway begins says traffic ahead travels in both directions on separated roads, and you should keep to the right-hand road. It adds that each roadway carries one-way traffic. That makes divided highway begins the matching meaning: the separated roadways are starting, not ending, and you stay on the right-hand one. The passages do not describe this sign as a narrow bridge or road construction warning.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Narrow bridge ahead — The handbook does not give this sign the narrow bridge meaning; its divided highway begins entry describes separated roads ahead instead.
- B. Road under construction — Road under construction is not what the handbook's divided highway begins entry describes; it talks about separated one-way roadways, not construction.
- C. Divided highway ends — The handbook says a divided highway ends sign means traffic will travel in both directions on the same road, which is the opposite of separated roads beginning.
Remember it
Remember 'split starts, keep right': when separated roads begin, stay on the right-hand roadway.
