Difficulty: EasyRegulatory Signs

A rectangular white regulatory sign stating 'DO NOT PASS' permits a driver to cross the center line to overtake a slow-moving vehicle as long as there is no oncoming traffic visible.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False. A 'DO NOT PASS' sign is a mandatory regulatory sign that strictly prohibits drivers from crossing the centerline to overtake any vehicle, regardless of road visibility or traffic conditions.
The statement is false because a posted regulatory 'DO NOT PASS' sign imposes an absolute legal prohibition against passing another vehicle, requiring drivers to stay in their lane regardless of oncoming traffic conditions.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the type and authority of the traffic sign.
The white rectangular sign with black lettering is a regulatory sign.
Black-and-white rectangular signs communicate enforceable traffic laws rather than optional advisory recommendations.
2
Determine the legal driver duty required by the sign.
Passing is completely prohibited while traveling through the zone designated by the sign.
Regulatory prohibitions apply continuously throughout the posted zone without exception for clear traffic.

Key Concept

Regulatory signs enforce mandatory traffic laws and prohibitions that drivers must obey regardless of road or traffic conditions.
