This sign means?
- Bicycle crossing
- School bus stop ahead
- Warns motorists to provide safe space on the road for cyclists ✓
- Lane is too narrow for side-by-side driving
Answer: C. Warns motorists to provide safe space on the road for cyclists
This sign warns motorists to leave safe space on the road for cyclists, and to use extra caution on the stretch of road ahead.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists the share the road sign among common warning signs. It says the sign tells motorists they must provide safe space on the road for cyclists and other vehicles, and that it also reminds both drivers and cyclists to be more careful on the upcoming section of road. So the meaning is about giving cyclists room and staying alert, which matches the answer about providing safe space for cyclists.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Bicycle crossing — The passages describe this sign as being about sharing the road and giving cyclists space, not about marking a place where bicycles cross.
- B. School bus stop ahead — The passages mention a school zone sign that warns of a school zone and children, and nothing about a school bus stop sign.
- D. Lane is too narrow for side-by-side driving — Nothing in the passages says this sign relates to a lane being too narrow for vehicles to drive side by side.
Remember it
When you see the share the road sign, picture a cyclist beside your car: leave room and ease off, because the next stretch needs extra care from both of you.
