This sign (keep right) means:
- Divided highway ends
- One-way traffic ahead
- Two-way traffic ahead
- Keep to the right ✓
Answer: D. Keep to the right
The Keep Right sign tells you to keep to the right of the divider or obstacle ahead.
Why this is the answer
The New York manual's list of road signs you must know includes a sign labeled "Keep Right of Divider." The name of the sign tells you what to do: stay on the right-hand side of the divider or obstruction in your path rather than passing to its left. The other signs on that same list have their own separate names and meanings, so the keep-right sign is not announcing a change in the road's traffic pattern. It is simply an instruction about which side to pass on.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Divided highway ends — The manual lists "Divided Highway Ends" as its own separate sign, so it is not what the keep-right sign announces.
- B. One-way traffic ahead — One-way traffic is covered by a different sign on the same list, marked "One Way Traffic - Do Not Enter."
- C. Two-way traffic ahead — "Two Way Traffic" appears as a separate sign in the manual's list, not as the meaning of the keep-right sign.
Remember it
Read the sign as a command about position, not about the road ahead: it points you to the right side of the divider.
