This sign on a highway shows an upcoming side road. What is it signaling?

• A. A Side Road Ahead
• B. A Stop Ahead
• C. A Merge Ahead
• D. A Railroad Crossing Ahead

Answer: (A)

Recognizing warning signs for upcoming intersections. The sign shows a side road joining from the side, signaling that a side road will connect to the highway soon. This means you should be alert for vehicles entering or crossing from the side, and be prepared to adjust your speed and lane position as needed. It’s a heads-up to scan ahead and yield or stop if traffic on the side road requires it. The other scenarios—indicating a stop ahead, a merge ahead, or a railroad crossing ahead—use different symbols and cues, so they don’t match the side-road-integration sign.
