This sign means?
- Pavement narrows ahead ✓
- Hidden intersection ahead
- One-way street ahead
- Divided highway ahead
Answer: A. Pavement narrows ahead
The sign means pavement narrows ahead.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists "Pavement narrows ahead" among common warning signs. Warning signs give information about conditions ahead, so this sign alerts you that the paved surface you are approaching becomes narrower. The passages do not add any other instruction for this sign, such as stopping or changing lanes; the message is the narrowing itself. That is why the choice about pavement narrowing matches the bank answer.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Hidden intersection ahead — A hidden intersection ahead is listed in the handbook as a different warning sign, so it is not the meaning of the pavement-narrowing sign.
- C. One-way street ahead — The passages do not connect this warning with a one-way street; a one-way street concerns traffic direction, while the bank answer concerns the pavement narrowing.
- D. Divided highway ahead — The handbook mentions divided highway ends as a separate sign, and divided highway ahead is not given as the meaning of this warning.
Remember it
Remember it as the road losing width: the warning is about less pavement, not about intersections or traffic direction.
