Difficulty: MediumGuide and Informational Signs

On standardized highway guide signs, a brown background with white lettering is used to indicate essential motorist services such as gas, food, and lodging.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. Brown background signs indicate public recreation and cultural points of interest, while blue background signs display motorist services.
The statement is false because guide signs for motorist services (such as gas, food, lodging, and emergency medical services) feature a blue background. Brown backgrounds are reserved specifically for public recreational, historic, and cultural points of interest.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the standard background color designated for public parks, cultural landmarks, and historical sites.
Brown backgrounds with white text/symbols denote recreational and cultural points of interest.
Standardized color rules allow drivers to quickly recognize category information at highway speeds.
2
Identify the standard background color designated for traveler services such as fuel, food, lodging, and medical assistance.
Blue backgrounds with white text/symbols denote motorist services.
Distinct color coding prevents driver distraction and confusion between commercial services and park sites.
