signs
What does an equilateral triangle traffic sign tell a driver to do?
- Continue at the posted speed without checking cross traffic
- Pass vehicles only on the left side
- Look for a railroad crossing directly ahead
- Slow down near an intersection and be ready to stop and yield
Answer: Slow down near an intersection and be ready to stop and yield. The manual says a three-sided, equal-length triangle warns drivers to slow as they approach an intersection and prepare for a complete stop to yield to drivers or pedestrians. It therefore calls for caution and readiness, not uninterrupted travel. A pennant concerns passing, a circle points to a railroad crossing, and the choice about keeping speed ignores the shape's warning function. As the triangle comes into view, ease off the accelerator, scan both sides, and be prepared to stop if another road user has the right of way.
