Sample question from test 4
signs
What does this five-sided sign identify?
- A school zone where special caution is required
- A public park with no school activity
- An adult pedestrian crossing only
- A hospital entrance with emergency traffic
Answer: A school zone where special caution is required. Maine uses a five-sided sign to identify a school zone. Drivers should slow and watch for children, school traffic, and crossing activity. The shape does not identify a park, hospital, or an adult-only crossing. In the manual's school-zone guidance, the driver must slow to 15 mph during specified recess, school opening, or school closing periods, including when school speed signs are flashing. The key visual cue is the pentagon, followed by careful scanning for children near the roadway.
