This sign means?
- Right lane ends ahead
- Paved surface ends ahead
- Do not enter
- Hazard close to the edge of the road ✓
Answer: D. Hazard close to the edge of the road
This sign means there is a hazard close to the edge of the road.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's list of common warning signs includes the meaning "Hazard close to the edge of the road." It also says the lines shown indicate which side you may safely pass on. That points to a warning about a hazard near the road edge, so the sign is not signalling a lane ending or a pavement change. Treat it as a warning to be careful near that edge.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Right lane ends ahead — Right lane ends ahead is listed in the handbook warning-sign list as a separate sign with a merge instruction, so it is not the edge-hazard meaning.
- B. Paved surface ends ahead — The passages do not mention a paved surface ends ahead sign, so that meaning is not supported here.
- C. Do not enter — Do not enter is not identified in the passages as this warning sign's meaning; the matching entry is hazard close to the edge of the road.
Remember it
When a warning points to trouble at the edge, expect the danger there rather than a lane or pavement change.
