Difficulty: MediumRegulatory Signs

While driving along a multi-lane road, you approach a rectangular white traffic sign displaying a black curved arrow pointing up and around a central obstruction symbol. Which driving action does this regulatory sign legally mandate?

  1. Drivers must stay to the right side of the island, divider, or obstruction ahead.Answer
  2. B
    Drivers must execute an immediate right turn at the next roadway intersection.
  3. C
    Drivers may pass on either side of the divider after yielding to oncoming traffic.
  4. D
    Drivers must bring their vehicle to a complete stop before choosing a lane around the obstruction.

Answer

Drivers must stay to the right side of the island, divider, or obstruction ahead.
A white rectangular sign featuring a black curved arrow maneuvering around a central divider symbol is a standard regulatory sign (Keep Right). It mandates that drivers must pass to the right side of traffic islands, medians, or physical obstructions ahead.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the physical features of the sign described in the scenario.
The white rectangular background with black lettering/symbols identifies it as a regulatory sign, and the curved arrow around a block indicates a Keep Right sign (R4-7).
Regulatory signs specify mandatory traffic laws and lane usage requirements.
2
Determine the required driver behavior governed by the sign.
Drivers must guide their vehicles to the right of the upcoming physical island, median strip, or roadway obstacle.
Failing to pass on the designated side creates a head-on collision risk with oncoming traffic on the opposite side of the divider.
