Show the answer and the explanationHide the answer
Correct answer: A. Deer may enter or cross the road in this area.
Why
This yellow diamond with a leaping deer warns that deer may suddenly enter or cross the road in this area. Slow down, scan both sides of the road, and be ready to brake, mostly at dawn, at dusk and at night. Where one deer crosses, more may follow. Other animal warning signs, such as the Cattle sign, have the same yellow diamond but show a different animal; each one warns of the animal that its symbol shows.
Why the other answers are not correct
- B. The Cattle sign shows a cow; this sign shows a deer, a wild animal.
- C. Signs for parks and attractions are brown guide signs; a yellow diamond warns of a hazard on the road.
- D. Warning signs do not show where hunting is allowed; this sign warns of deer that may move onto the road.
