10. A triangular Wyoming sign that points downward tells you to do what?
Correct answer: Let vehicles crossing or merging ahead of you go first

11. Which Wyoming traffic sign is the only one given an eight-sided outline?

12. What background color does Wyoming use on construction and maintenance signs?
Correct answer: Orange
