- DA highway patrol station is close by.
Show the answer and the explanationHide the answer
Correct answer: B. A hospital can be reached from this road.
Why
Blue signs with white symbols show services for drivers. The white H on blue means a hospital can be reached from this road, often with an arrow or plaque that shows the way. This sign is used only for hospitals that are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A different blue sign is used for emergency medical care that is not open full time. Green signs, in contrast, show directions and distances to places.
Why the other answers are not correct
- A. The white H on a blue service sign stands for a hospital, not a helicopter landing area.
- C. Lodging is shown with a bed symbol; the white H marks a hospital.
- D. Police services have their own service sign; the white H marks a hospital.
