Handbook p. 49 ↗ Put it into practice
A yellow diamond shows a T. The road you're on ends ahead, so slow down, signal, and turn right or left when it's clear.
Check your understanding Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
A 'Crossroad' warning sign means a road joins from the right only. True False Answer: False
The Crossroad sign means a four-way intersection is ahead; a road joining only from the right is shown by the Sideroad sign.
Handbook p. 49 ↗ A yellow diamond warning sign showing arrows chasing each other in a circle means: A U-turn area is ahead; prepare to stop Traffic merges from both sides ahead A detour around road work is ahead A roundabout is ahead; slow down and yield Answer: A roundabout is ahead; slow down and yield
The roundabout sign warns of a roundabout ahead: slow down and yield to vehicles already in it on your left.
Handbook p. 49 ↗ A yellow diamond warning sign showing a 'T' means: Your road ends ahead; signal to turn A side road joins from the right ahead A four-way crossroad intersection is ahead Two-way traffic begins on the road ahead Answer: Your road ends ahead; signal to turn
The T Intersection sign means the roadway ends ahead and you must signal before turning right or left.
Handbook p. 49 ↗ An Advisory Speed Plaque is used to: Set a new legal maximum speed for the zone Add an advisory speed to a warning sign Mark the minimum speed allowed on the interstate Show the speed limit when children are present Answer: Add an advisory speed to a warning sign
The plaque supplements a warning (diamond) sign to show the advisory speed for that condition.
Handbook p. 48 ↗ A 'No Train Horn' sign under a railroad crossing sign means trains do not blow their horns at that crossing. True False Answer: True
No Train Horn signs are installed where a quiet zone has been established; trains do not blow the horn there.
