What does this sign indicate?

• A. Pedestrian crossing ahead
• B. Two-way traffic ahead
• C. Stop sign ahead
• D. Traffic control signals at an intersection

Answer: (D)

This sign warns you that you’re approaching an intersection that is controlled by traffic signals. The symbol on the sign is a set of traffic lights, indicating that there will be signals ahead to control which direction has the right of way.

This is different from signs that indicate a pedestrian crossing, two-way traffic, or a stop sign ahead. Pedestrian crossing signs show a person walking, two-way traffic signs show opposing arrows, and a stop-sign ahead would depict a stop sign.

Knowing signals are ahead helps you slow down if needed, be prepared to stop on red, proceed on green, and watch for turning and crossing traffic and pedestrians.
