What does this sign indicate? keep right of the traffic island

• A. Keep left of the traffic island
• B. Keep right of the traffic island
• C. You may pass on either side
• D. Stop and wait

Answer: (B)

This sign teaches you how to navigate around an obstacle in the roadway. When you see it, you follow the direction it gives for where to pass the obstruction. Keeping to the right of the traffic island means you should pass on your right side as you go around it. This keeps you safely in your lane and away from oncoming traffic that would be in the left-side path.

So you continue around the island on the right, not on the left, and not stopping unless there’s another reason to stop. The other options would require left-side passing, passing on either side, or stopping, none of which is indicated by this sign.
