Match each physical warning sign description on the left with its correct hazard meaning and required driver action on the right.
- Yellow diamond-shaped sign with two black arrows pointing in opposite directions around a divider block at the topDivided highway ends ahead; prepare to transition onto a undivided two-way roadway where opposing traffic is no longer physically separated.
- Yellow diamond-shaped sign displaying a bold black 'T' symbolT-intersection ahead; the road you are driving on ends, requiring you to prepare to yield and turn either left or right.
- Yellow diamond-shaped sign displaying '12'-6"' between top and bottom vertical arrowheadsLow clearance ahead; indicates maximum overhead clearance beneath a bridge or structure, requiring tall vehicles to verify height before proceeding.
- Yellow diamond-shaped sign with two parallel black arrows pointing in opposite directions without any dividerTwo-way traffic ahead; alerts drivers that a multi-lane or one-way section ends and oncoming traffic will occupy the adjacent opposing lane.
Answer
The yellow sign with arrows around a top median block indicates the end of a divided highway. The bold 'T' sign indicates an upcoming T-intersection requiring a turn. The sign with '12'-6"' between vertical arrows indicates low vertical clearance. The sign with opposing parallel arrows without a median block indicates upcoming two-way traffic.
Each standard warning sign uses clear graphical symbols to warn drivers of upcoming roadway changes: a median block at the top of opposing arrows indicates the end of a physical median, a 'T' graphic indicates a terminating road junction, vertical arrows enclosing a height measurement warn of low overhead structures, and parallel opposing arrows indicate undivided two-way traffic flow ahead.
