How the test asks about it
- 1.
This sign tells you that ahead:
Not quiteCorrect answer: D — The road divides into two one-way roadways separated by a median
The roadway splits and a median separates the directions. You must keep right of the divider — turning across or entering the wrong side is head-on traffic.
This sign and DIVIDED HIGHWAY ENDS look alike at speed. One means the median begins; the other means oncoming traffic is about to return to your side.
