Question

Difficulty: MediumRegulatory Signs

A driver approaching a median island posted with a white rectangular regulatory sign depicting a black curved arrow pointing to the right of an obstacle may legally drive to the left of the island if preparing for an immediate left turn at an upcoming intersection.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False. A rectangular white 'Keep Right' sign is a mandatory regulatory device requiring all drivers to keep to the right side of the barrier or island.
Regulatory signs establish strict legal traffic rules. The 'Keep Right' sign requires traffic to pass only on the right side of the barrier, prohibiting drivers from using the left side as a shortcut or turn preparation lane.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the sign classification and shape.
A rectangular white sign with black lettering or symbols is classified as a regulatory sign.
Regulatory signs inform road users of traffic laws and regulations that require mandatory compliance.
2
Determine the required legal action for a 'Keep Right' symbol sign.
Vehicles must stay to the right of the roadway feature or obstruction.
Passing to the left of a designated Keep Right island enters opposing traffic flow areas and violates regulatory sign laws.
