Match each standard yellow warning sign description on the left with its corresponding hazard interpretation and required driver response on the right.
- Diamond-shaped yellow sign displaying opposing vertical arrows (one pointing up, one pointing down)Warns of two-way traffic ahead; prepare for oncoming vehicles on an undivided roadway.
- Diamond-shaped yellow sign displaying a vertical measurement with arrows at the top and bottom (e.g., 12'-6")Warns of low overhead clearance ahead; drivers of tall vehicles must verify height limits.
- Diamond-shaped yellow sign displaying red, yellow, and green stacked circular symbolsWarns of an upcoming signalized intersection; prepare to slow down or stop if the light is red.
- Diamond-shaped yellow sign displaying a straight vertical arrow with a side line merging into itWarns that traffic streams are blending into one lane; adjust speed to accommodate merging vehicles.
Answer
Opposing vertical arrows match with two-way traffic ahead; height measurement numbers match with low overhead clearance; red, yellow, green circular symbols match with advance traffic signal warning; and a merging side arrow matches with blending traffic lane warning.
Opposing arrows signify undivided two-way traffic; height dimensions indicate low overhead structures; stacked red, yellow, and green circles give advance warning of a traffic light; and a curved side branch joining a main line represents merging traffic.
