How the test asks about it
- 1.
This sign warns that:
Not quiteCorrect answer: A — A one-way road is about to become two-way
It tells you oncoming traffic will now be sharing your roadway. Passing and lane position have to change accordingly.
After a stretch of one-way driving, drivers keep using the full width of the road. That habit is what this sign is trying to break.
- 2.
You have been driving on a one-way roadway and see this sign. What does it tell you?
Not quiteCorrect answer: D — The roadway ahead carries traffic in both directions
Two arrows pointing opposite ways mean the one-way section ends and vehicles will be coming toward you. Stay right of the centre line and stop using the left side as spare room.
Mistaking it for a reversible-lane sign. It marks the permanent end of one-way operation, not a change that depends on the time of day.
