This sign means?
- Crosswalk: watch for pedestrians
- Pedestrians permitted
- Drivers are not permitted to hit pedestrians on this road
- No pedestrians allowed on this road ✓
Answer: D. No pedestrians allowed on this road
This sign means no pedestrians are allowed on this road.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists “No pedestrians allowed on this road” among common regulatory signs. Regulatory signs give a direction that must be obeyed, and a sign with a red circle and line through it means the activity shown is not allowed. That makes this sign a prohibition: pedestrians are not permitted on this road.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Crosswalk: watch for pedestrians — A crosswalk warning tells drivers to watch for people crossing; it does not prohibit pedestrians from using the road.
- B. Pedestrians permitted — This choice says pedestrians are permitted, which is the opposite of what the regulatory sign means.
- C. Drivers are not permitted to hit pedestrians on this road — The sign is not about a driver’s action toward pedestrians; it prohibits pedestrians from being on the road.
Remember it
Treat a prohibition sign as a locked door for the road user shown: that user stays off this road.
