Sample question from test 1
signs
A New York sign has a red circle and slash over a symbol. What does that design communicate?
- The pictured action is not allowed or the vehicle is restricted
- A service area is available ahead
- A recommended route for the pictured vehicle
- The road surface is likely to be slippery
Answer: The pictured action is not allowed or the vehicle is restricted. A red circle with a slash is a regulatory sign design that indicates the pictured action is not allowed or that some vehicles are restricted from the road. A service area uses a different sign category, and a route recommendation or slippery surface is not what the slash communicates. The visual cue is the prohibition mark itself: identify the symbol underneath, then read the sign as forbidding that action or vehicle use. This applies to signs such as a prohibited turn or restricted vehicle entry.
