7. In a work zone with temporary pavement markings, how can you tell if you have drifted into the wrong lane?

9. A smaller sign is mounted below a railroad crossbuck. What does it tell you, and why does it matter?
Correct answer: The number of tracks; one train may hide another on a second track
The smaller sign shows how many tracks there are. With two or more tracks, a passing train can hide another train coming from the other direction.

10. A sign ahead is caked with snow and you cannot read its wording. How can you still tell its general meaning?
Correct answer: By its shape
Signs can be understood by shape and color as well as wording, so if a sign is covered you should still know its general type (regulatory, warning, or information) from its shape.

11. Besides yellow, what color does the Vermont driver's manual say a diamond-shaped warning sign may be?
Correct answer: Green
Warning signs are usually diamond-shaped and either yellow or green, and they tell you to slow down for a hazard such as a curve or dip.
