Sample question from test 5
signs
What does a red diagonal bar on a regulatory sign communicate?
- No or prohibited
- Complete stop at every intersection
- School zone ahead
- Railroad crossing ahead
Answer: No or prohibited. A red outline with a diagonal bar through a sign means “NO,” or that the pictured action is prohibited. The marking does not automatically mean a complete stop, which is conveyed by the octagonal stop sign. A school zone uses a pentagon warning sign, while a railroad crossing has its own warning shapes and signals. Read the symbol inside the red bar to identify the movement that is forbidden. The practical cue is the diagonal bar: it changes the pictured action from something permitted into something the driver must not do.
