Which road hazard meaning correctly pairs with each standard traffic warning sign description? Match each warning sign described on the left with its corresponding road hazard warning on the right.
- Yellow diamond sign with a black outline of a leaping deerWarning that large wild animals frequently cross the road in this area
- Yellow round sign with a black 'X' symbol and two 'R' lettersAdvance warning of a railroad crossing ahead
- Yellow-green pentagon sign with silhouettes of two people walkingWarning of a school zone or school pedestrian crossing ahead
- Orange diamond sign with a black symbol of a worker holding a shovelTemporary warning of a roadway construction or maintenance work zone ahead
Answer
The yellow diamond sign with a deer matches the wild animal crossing warning; the yellow round sign with 'X' and 'RR' matches the advance railroad crossing warning; the yellow-green pentagon sign matches the school zone warning; and the orange diamond sign with a worker matches the temporary roadway construction warning.
Each standard warning sign relies on specific combinations of shape, color, and imagery to inform drivers of road hazards. A yellow diamond with a deer symbol indicates a deer crossing area; a circular yellow sign with an 'X' and 'RR' alerts drivers to an upcoming railroad crossing; a pentagon-shaped sign identifies a school zone; and an orange diamond sign indicates a temporary construction work zone ahead.
