Warning, Construction & Information Signs

What does this blue sign tell you?

A blue square sign with a white fuel-pump symbol.
  1. ACharging for electric vehicles is available nearby.
  2. BGas is available at a place near this road.
  3. CTrucks that carry fuel must use this road.
  4. DA shop that repairs vehicles is near this road.
Show the answer and the explanation

Correct answer: B. Gas is available at a place near this road.

Why

Blue signs with white symbols tell you about motorist services. The fuel-pump symbol means gas is available nearby, often on a crossroad. An arrow plaque may show which way to go. The sign gives information only; you do not have to stop. A similar blue sign with EV and a plug on the pump marks electric vehicle charging, not gas.

Why the other answers are not correct

  • A. Wrong: electric vehicle charging has its own blue sign, with the letters EV and a plug on the pump.
  • C. Wrong: blue service signs give information to motorists; they do not set rules for vehicles that carry fuel.
  • D. Wrong: the fuel-pump symbol shows gas; it does not show a repair service.
