Sample sign question
Road signs
What does the octagon shape of this traffic sign identify?
- Stop
- Yield
- Railroad crossing ahead
- A hazardous condition ahead
Answer: Stop. The manual assigns the octagon shape to the stop message. Shape recognition lets a driver identify the required response even before the lettering is fully readable. A triangle is used for yield, a round sign warns of a railroad ahead, and a diamond warns of a hazardous or unusual condition. Do not confuse the red stop sign with those other silhouettes. When the eight-sided outline appears, prepare for a complete stop at the required stopping position and then follow the right-of-way rule.
