Texas Car / Permit practice question · Road Signs
An orange, diamond-shaped sign tells you that you are approaching:
Answer choices
- a construction or road maintenance work zone— Correct answer
- a school crossing
- a scenic overlook
- a hospital entrance
Why this is the answer
Orange is the basic color for construction and maintenance warnings, and most signs in work zones are diamond shaped. Near a work area, be ready to slow down or stop for workers and equipment, to change lanes, and for sudden movements by workers or machinery. Scenic or recreation guidance uses brown, not orange.
