Texas Car / Permit practice question · Road Signs

While driving you see a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a T-shaped side-road symbol. What does it indicate?

Answer choices

• You are approaching a school zone or school crossing; watch for children.
• A stop sign is ahead; prepare to stop.
• Another road joins from the side ahead; watch for entering traffic.— Correct answer
• The road ahead connects only to dead-end streets.

Why this is the answer

A side-road sign tells you another road joins the one you are on, from the side the symbol shows, so watch for traffic coming in from that direction. It does not mean a school, an approaching stop sign or a dead end. Look for vehicles entering and be prepared to slow down if one appears.
