Show the answer and the explanationHide the answer
Correct answer: B. A roundabout or traffic circle is ahead.
Why
This yellow diamond is the Circular Intersection sign. It warns of a roundabout or traffic circle ahead. Slow down, read the lane signs, and be ready to yield to traffic in the circle before you enter. Traffic in the circle moves counterclockwise. A Winding Road sign is different: it shows one wavy arrow for a series of curves.
Why the other answers are not correct
- A. A series of curves is shown by a Winding Road sign with one wavy arrow.
- C. This warning sign shows an intersection where traffic moves around a center; it does not order you to turn around.
- D. Two-way traffic is shown by a sign with two straight arrows that point in opposite directions.
