This sign means?
- Two-way traffic
- Obstruction ahead
- Intersection ahead ✓
- One way traffic
Answer: C. Intersection ahead
This sign means intersection ahead.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's list of common warning signs includes "Intersection ahead" as one of the warnings you may see on Ontario roads. The same section groups these signs as warning signs, which alert you to conditions ahead. So when this sign appears, treat it as a warning that an intersection is coming up, and be ready for the traffic situation at that intersection. The passages do not describe the sign's shape, colour or symbols, so rely on the meaning given in the warning-sign list.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Two-way traffic — The passages do not give two-way traffic as the meaning of this sign; they list intersection ahead as its own warning sign.
- B. Obstruction ahead — An obstruction is mentioned with a flashing yellow beacon that warns you to drive with caution, not as the meaning of this sign.
- D. One way traffic — The passages do not list one way traffic as the meaning of this warning sign.
Remember it
Warning signs give you a heads-up about a road feature before you reach it.
