This sign means?
- Playground area sign
- Direction sign for children
- Children playing in residential area
- Warn of a school crossing ✓
Answer: D. Warn of a school crossing
The sign warns of a school crossing.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's list of common warning signs says these signs warn of a school crossing and tells drivers to watch for children and follow the crossing guard or school safety patroller. That is the meaning in the correct choice. The handbook also describes a school zone sign, which warns that you are coming to a school zone and tells you to slow down and watch for children, but the listed meaning here is the school-crossing warning.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Playground area sign — The passages do not describe a playground area sign; the warning they describe is for a school crossing.
- B. Direction sign for children — A direction sign is not what the passages describe here; the sign warns drivers about a school crossing rather than giving children directions.
- C. Children playing in residential area — The passages mention watching for children at school zones and crossings, not a sign about children playing in a residential area.
Remember it
Link the sign to the crossing guard: see the sign, then look for children and the guard.
