Sample question from test 4
signs
What condition is indicated by a traffic signal symbol on a yellow warning sign?
- A traffic signal is ahead, so the driver should prepare to obey it
- The next signal is permanently out of service
- A police checkpoint will stop every vehicle
- Streetlights are being repaired after the intersection
Answer: A traffic signal is ahead, so the driver should prepare to obey it. The traffic signal symbol gives advance notice of a signal ahead. The driver should look forward, adjust speed as needed, and be ready to obey the indication when reaching the intersection. It does not say that the signal is broken, that police will stop every vehicle, or that streetlights are under repair. Warning signs are meant to identify conditions before the driver arrives at them. The practical cue is to begin scanning for the signal early, especially when a curve, hill, or other obstruction could shorten the available stopping distance.
