This sign (hospital to right) means:
- Highway changes ahead to the right
- Hiking trails ahead to the right
- Hotel ahead to the right
- Hospital ahead to the right ✓
Answer: D. Hospital ahead to the right
The sign means a hospital is ahead to the right.
Why this is the answer
The New York State Driver's Manual lists this sign among the road signs you must know, wording it as "Hospital To The Right." So the sign is telling you that a hospital is located ahead and off to your right side. The manual treats it as one of the standard signs a driver has to recognize, which means you should read the word on the sign plus the direction given and respond to that information rather than guessing. Knowing it in advance lets you spot the turn or entrance as you approach.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Highway changes ahead to the right — Nothing on the sign says the highway itself changes direction; the sign only points out a facility to the right.
- B. Hiking trails ahead to the right — The sign is not about trails — the manual lists it under hospital, not hiking.
- C. Hotel ahead to the right — A hotel is a different place entirely, and the manual's sign uses the word hospital, not hotel.
Remember it
Read the word printed on the sign and the direction under it, then expect that place on that side as you continue.
