Texas Car / Permit practice question · Road Signs
What should you understand when you see a yellow diamond-shaped sign showing the road splitting around a median?
Answer choices
- You are approaching a school zone or school crossing; watch for children.
- A traffic lane ends ahead; merge with the adjacent lane.
- The road ahead is divided by a median; keep right.— Correct answer
- A railroad crossing is ahead; slow down and be ready to stop for trains.
Why this is the answer
This sign advises that you are approaching a section of highway where traffic going each way is divided by a median island. It is a warning about a change in road layout, so stay alert as you approach. It does not mean a lane ends, a school is near, or a railroad crossing is coming.
