Show the answer and the explanationHide the answer
Correct answer: B. Bicyclists may enter or ride on the road ahead, so watch for them.
Why
This yellow warning sign tells you that bicyclists may enter or ride on the road ahead, often where you would not expect them. Slow down, look for riders, and give them plenty of room when you pass. Bicyclists may use this road. A sign with a bicycle inside a red circle and slash is different: it means bicycles are not allowed.
Why the other answers are not correct
- A. Wrong: a sign that bans bicycles shows a bicycle in a red circle with a slash; this yellow sign warns of bicyclists.
- C. Wrong: a bike lane is shown by white regulatory signs and lane markings; this yellow sign is a warning.
- D. Wrong: a bicycle route is shown by a guide sign; this yellow warning sign is for all road users, drivers included.
