What is the safest interpretation of the yellow right-angle arrow?
- A sharp change in direction requiring early speed reduction
- A T-intersection where the driver must turn right
- A one-way street that permits only right turns
- A service entrance for emergency vehicles
Answer: A sharp change in direction requiring early speed reduction. A right-angle arrow signals a sharper change in direction than a gentle bend, so the driver should slow before reaching it and maintain a controllable path. The sign alone does not create a T-intersection, establish one-way travel, or identify an emergency entrance. A sharp turn also reduces sight distance, making late braking and high speed especially risky. Use the angle as the cue to prepare before the turn, then follow any separate advisory-speed plaque or pavement marking.
