  3. C
    Ignore the sign direction if driving at or below the posted basic speed limit.
  4. D
    Overtake vehicles on the left side of the median if no oncoming traffic is visible.

Answer

The driver must keep to the right side of the traffic island, median, or obstruction.
The white rectangular sign featuring a curved black arrow passing to the right of a central bar is the standard 'Keep Right' regulatory sign. Drivers must pass to the right of the obstruction, island, or median divider.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the sign type and shape
The white rectangular shape with black symbols indicates a regulatory traffic sign establishing a mandatory rule of the road.
Rectangular white signs convey enforceable traffic laws rather than advisory warnings.
2
Interpret the symbol
The curved arrow pointing to the right of a central divider indicates the 'Keep Right' command (MUTCD R4-7).
The symbol graphically directs traffic to pass on the designated right side of an upcoming roadway obstruction or median.
3
Determine legal driver obligation
Steer right of the divider to remain in lawful traffic flow.
Passing to the left of the sign or median enters oncoming lane space or forbidden roadway areas.
