This sign (two way traffic) means:
- Four-lane traffic ahead
- Divided highway ahead
- Two-way traffic ahead ✓
- Intersection ahead
Answer: C. Two-way traffic ahead
The two-way traffic sign means two-way traffic is ahead, so you should expect vehicles coming toward you in the opposite direction.
Why this is the answer
The New York State Driver's Manual lists "Two Way Traffic" among the road signs you must know. The name of the sign states the condition it warns about: the road ahead carries traffic moving in both directions, not just your direction. That is why you should be ready for oncoming vehicles and keep to your own side of the roadway. The manual's sign list does not describe any lane count or intersection layout for this sign, so the only supported meaning is the two-way traffic warning itself.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Four-lane traffic ahead — A four-lane traffic sign is not in the manual's list of signs you must know, and the two-way traffic sign says nothing about how many lanes the road has.
- B. Divided highway ahead — The manual lists "Divided Highway Ends" as its own separate sign, so divided highway information comes from a different sign, not this one.
- D. Intersection ahead — An intersection ahead is a different warning than two-way traffic, and the manual's sign list gives no intersection meaning to this sign.
Remember it
Let the sign's own name do the work: it tells you the road ahead carries traffic in both directions.
