Signs indicating areas of public recreation are:
- Orange.
- Red.
- Green.
- Brown. ✓
Answer: D. Brown.
Brown signs mark areas of public recreation, including parks and places of cultural or historical interest.
Why this is the answer
The Florida handbook lists brown as the color for areas of public recreation, cultural and historical significance, and it repeats that brown and white signs point you to scenic areas, parks, and cultural or historical spots. The other colors in that list are tied to different jobs, so when you see brown you can expect a park or recreation area ahead rather than a route marker or a service sign. Match the sign color to the type of information it carries, and recreation lands on brown.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Orange. — Orange is not given in the handbook as the recreation color; the passage assigns brown to recreation, cultural and historical areas.
- B. Red. — The passage does not list red among the sign colors for recreation, so red tells you nothing about a park or recreation area here.
- C. Green. — Green is described as guide sign color that gives directions and distances, not as a marker for recreation areas.
Remember it
Picture brown park dirt and tree trunks: brown signs lead you to parks, scenic spots, and historical places.
