Correct answer: Fluorescent yellow-green pentagon
School zone warning signs use a fluorescent yellow-green pentagon shape, which is unique to school and pedestrian warning signs.
Question 2: What does a 'School Zone' sign require drivers to do during posted hours?
- Reduce speed to the posted school zone limit and watch for children (Correct answer)
- Stop completely until children have entered the school
- Yield only if children are visible
- Follow the normal speed limit if no school bus is present
Correct answer: Reduce speed to the posted school zone limit and watch for children
During posted school zone hours, drivers must reduce speed to the school zone speed limit whether or not children are visible.
Question 3: A 'School Bus Stop Ahead' sign warns drivers that:
- A school bus regularly stops near that location and children may be crossing (Correct answer)
- A school bus is currently stopped with lights flashing
- Buses have the right-of-way at all times on that road
- A school bus loading zone is on the right
Correct answer: A school bus regularly stops near that location and children may be crossing
School Bus Stop Ahead signs give drivers advance warning that a school bus stop is nearby and children may unexpectedly enter the roadway.
Question 4: What does a pedestrian crossing sign (white walking figure on yellow-green background) tell drivers?
- Pedestrians may be crossing the road at or near that location (Correct answer)
- A crosswalk with a pedestrian signal is present
- Pedestrians must stop and wait for a walk signal
- Only visually impaired pedestrians use this crossing
Correct answer: Pedestrians may be crossing the road at or near that location
Pedestrian crossing warning signs alert drivers that foot traffic frequently crosses the road in that area and to watch for walkers.
Question 5: When must you stop for a school bus with red lights flashing and stop arm extended?
- On all roads unless a physical barrier or median divides the roadway (Correct answer)
- Only on two-lane roads
- Only if children are visible outside the bus
- Only if you are directly behind the bus
Correct answer: On all roads unless a physical barrier or median divides the roadway
US law generally requires all traffic in both directions to stop for a flashing-red school bus unless a divided highway with a physical barrier separates the lanes.
Question 6: A 'Crosswalk' pavement marking combined with a pedestrian sign means:
- Pedestrians in the crosswalk have the right-of-way and drivers must yield (Correct answer)
- Drivers have the right-of-way and pedestrians must wait
- Pedestrians may cross only when a walk signal is displayed
- The crosswalk is only for school children
Correct answer: Pedestrians in the crosswalk have the right-of-way and drivers must yield
At marked crosswalks, pedestrians who have entered the crosswalk have the right-of-way and drivers are required by law to yield.
