This sign means?
- Watch for pedestrians and be prepared to share the road with them ✓
- School zone ahead; watch for children crossing and obey any crossing guards on duty
- Pedestrian pathway only; vehicles prohibited
- Pedestrians not permitted
Answer: A. Watch for pedestrians and be prepared to share the road with them
This sign means you should look out for pedestrians and be ready to share the road with them.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's list of common warning signs includes a sign whose meaning is to watch for pedestrians and be prepared to share the road with them. That matches the bank answer. It is a warning to expect people on or near the road and to adjust, not a rule that sets aside a path for pedestrians or bans them.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. School zone ahead; watch for children crossing and obey any crossing guards on duty — That describes the separate school zone sign, which the handbook says warns of a school zone and tells you to slow down and watch for children, so it is not the pedestrian warning asked about.
- C. Pedestrian pathway only; vehicles prohibited — The passages do not describe a pedestrian-pathway-only sign or say that vehicles are prohibited, so this goes beyond what the handbook supports.
- D. Pedestrians not permitted — The passages do not say pedestrians are not permitted; the supported warning is about watching for pedestrians, not excluding them.
Remember it
When the sign points to people, expect people on the road and give them room.
