An eight-sided sign is a stop sign. Stop completely at the stop line, or before the crosswalk or intersection if there is no stop line, yield to vehicles and pedestrians in the intersection, and go only when it is safe. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The inverted triangle is the yield sign, the only sign with this shape. Slow down, look both ways, and yield to pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles before proceeding when safe. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
Diamond-shaped signs are warning signs, and yellow is the general warning color. They tell you about special conditions or hazards ahead so you can slow down and get ready. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
Orange is the color for construction and maintenance work-area warnings. Slow down, watch for workers and changed traffic patterns, and obey work-zone signs. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
A five-sided (pentagon-shaped) sign appears on a residential street. What is it warning you about?
学校区域或学校过街处 / A school zone or school crossing正确答案
附近有休息区 / A rest area is near
前方是分隔式公路 / A divided highway begins
医院入口 / A hospital entrance
五边形标志提示学校区域并标示学校过街处。应减速并仔细观察儿童。见第4节:标志、信号与路面标线。
The pentagon shape warns of school zones and marks school crossings. Slow down and watch carefully for children. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
A round sign is the advance warning for a railroad crossing ahead. The crossing itself is identified by the crossbuck where the tracks cross the road. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The crossbuck — the X-shaped sign — identifies the location of a highway-rail grade crossing. The round sign only warns that a crossing is ahead. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
At the exit ramp of a highway, a red-and-white sign reads DO NOT ENTER. You are about to drive up that ramp. What should you do?
鸣笛后快速驶入 / Honk and enter quickly
只有没有车下来时才能驶入 / Enter only if no cars are coming down
不要驶入——那会逆行 / Do not enter — you would be driving against traffic正确答案
打开危险报警灯慢慢驶入 / Enter slowly with hazard lights on
“禁止驶入”标志标示交通方向相反的道路。驶入将与来车正面相对。见第4节:标志、信号与路面标线。
Do Not Enter signs mark roadways where traffic moves in the opposite direction. Entering would put you head-on against traffic. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
You turned onto a street and immediately see a WRONG WAY sign facing you. What is the safest response?
尽快安全掉头或靠边停车——你正在逆行 / Turn around or pull over safely as soon as possible — you are going against traffic正确答案
如果街上没车就不用管 / Ignore it if the street is empty
加速开到下一个路口 / Speed up to reach the next intersection
继续在左侧车道行驶 / Keep driving in the left lane
“错误方向”标志表示你正逆着交通流行驶。应尽快安全地脱离对向车流。见第4节:标志、信号与路面标线。
A Wrong Way sign means you are traveling against the flow of traffic. Get out of the opposing flow safely as soon as you can. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The speed limit sign states the maximum speed limit for that part of the road. The posted limit is the maximum under ideal conditions, and you must still slow down when conditions require it. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
You are looking for a place to leave your car and see a NO PARKING sign on the post. What does it mean for you?
只要人留在车里就可以停 / You may park if you stay in the car
不得在此停车 / You may not park there正确答案
只能在夜间停车 / You may park only at night
可以停最多10分钟 / You may park for up to 10 minutes
“禁止停车”管制标志禁止在该区域停车。应寻找明确用于停车的地点。见第4节:标志、信号与路面标线。
A No Parking regulatory sign prohibits parking in that area. You must find a place that is clearly meant for parking. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
A yellow diamond sign shows a person walking inside a crosswalk symbol. Drivers should expect:
前方人行道结束 / A sidewalk ends ahead
前方有公交站 / A bus stop ahead
徒步小径停车场 / A hiking trail parking lot
前方有行人过街 / Pedestrians crossing the road ahead正确答案
该警告标志标示前方有行人过街处。应减速并准备为过街行人停车。见第4节:标志、信号与路面标线。
That warning sign marks a pedestrian crossing ahead. Slow down and be ready to stop for people crossing. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
A curve warning sign tells you the road bends ahead. Reduce speed before the curve, especially since sharp curves and hills limit how far you can see. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
A warning sign shows an arrow making a sharp, hairpin-style turn. Compared with an ordinary curve sign, this warns of:
只有卡车需要减速的转弯 / A turn that only trucks must slow for
急得多的转弯,需要更大减速 / A much sharper turn that needs a greater speed reduction正确答案
可以全速通过的转弯 / A turn you may take at full speed
单行转弯车道 / A one-way turn lane
急转弯警告标志表示转弯比普通弯道急得多。应更多减速并小心通过。见第4节:标志、信号与路面标线。
The sharp-turn warning sign indicates a turn much sharper than a regular curve. Slow down more and proceed with care. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
That is the Slippery When Wet warning. Wet roads reduce traction, so slow down and avoid sudden braking or steering. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The merge warning tells you traffic will be joining or lanes will combine ahead. Be ready to adjust speed and leave space so merging can happen safely. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
A warning sign shows two arrows pointing in opposite directions, one up and one down. It warns that:
你正离开单行道,进入双向交通 / You are leaving a one-way street and entering two-way traffic正确答案
两条高速公路平行 / Two highways run parallel
自行车双向行驶 / Bicycles travel both directions
道路变为单行道 / The road becomes one-way
双向交通警告标志提示前方道路双向通行,应预料对向车道有来车。见第4节:标志、信号与路面标线。
The two-way traffic warning tells you the roadway ahead carries traffic in both directions, so expect oncoming vehicles in the other lane. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
That sign warns that a divided road begins ahead — traffic directions will be separated by a median or barrier. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The signal-ahead warning tells you a traffic signal is coming up, possibly where you cannot yet see it. Be ready to stop. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The deer/wildlife crossing warning marks areas where animals may enter the road. Slow down and scan the roadside, especially in low light. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The flagger-ahead warning means a person with a flag is directing traffic through a work zone. Slow down and obey the flagger's directions. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The pedestrian and bicycle crossing warning marks where people walking and biking cross the road. Slow down and yield as required. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The lane-ends warning tells you a lane is ending ahead. Check traffic, signal if changing lanes, and merge when it is safe. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings.
The sign warns of a traffic circle (roundabout) ahead. At the circle you must always yield to traffic already in it. See Section 4: Signs, Signals and Pavement Markings; Section 5: Driving Situations and Conditions.
