What does Pennsylvania's pentagon-shaped SCHOOL sign indicate?
- An approaching school zone
- A railroad crossing
- A hospital entrance
- A no-passing zone
Answer: An approaching school zone. The manual identifies the pentagon as the only pentagon-shaped roadway sign and says it means a school zone is approaching. A downward-pointing arrow below it identifies the school-zone crosswalk, which is a more specific placement. Railroad crossings use their own warning signs, hospitals are not represented by this shape, and no-passing zones use a pennant. Slow down, watch for children, and treat the distinctive five-sided outline as an advance school warning.
