This sign (merging traffic from right) means:
- One-way traffic
- Intersection ahead
- Merging traffic from the right ✓
- Highway curves ahead
Answer: C. Merging traffic from the right
That sign means merging traffic is entering from the right, so watch for vehicles joining your lane.
Why this is the answer
The manual's list of road signs you must know names this sign as merging traffic entering from the right. In other words, the sign warns you that cars will be coming into your lane from the right side, so you should be alert to vehicles joining the roadway where you are driving. The manual does not attach any other meaning to this particular sign, and it is not listed as a sign about one-way travel, an upcoming intersection or a curve.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. One-way traffic — One-way traffic is a separate sign in the manual's list, so it is not what this sign tells you.
- B. Intersection ahead — An intersection ahead is not what the manual lists this sign as showing; it marks traffic entering from the right.
- D. Highway curves ahead — A curve warning is a different sign, and the manual's list does not tie this sign to the road bending ahead.
Remember it
Picture the arrow bending in from the right side: that side is where the new cars will come from, so glance there as you pass.
