Answer 1

1. (a) yield to other traffic 2. (d) orange 3. (c) school zone sign 4. (a) no passing from either way 5. pedestrian signal 6. symbols 7. center turn lane 8. regulatory sign 9. c. warning sign 10. a. flashing signal 11. f. minimum speed limit 12. b. lane signal 13. d. advisory speed limits 14. e. guide sign 1. A basic speed law states that you must never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the posted speed limit. A minimum speed limit is a posted speed limit below which vehicles may not travel, ensuring that traffic flows at a safe and efficient rate. An advisory speed limit is a recommended speed limit, usually posted in areas where the posted speed limit may not be safe due to special conditions, such as sharp curves or intersections. 2. To ensure you understand traffic signs in a foreign country with a different language, you can: (1) study a guidebook or online resource that explains common traffic signs and their meanings; (2) carry a translation guide or phrasebook that includes common traffic-related terms; (3) pay attention to the symbols and pictographs used on the signs, as they are often universal; (4) ask a local for help in interpreting any signs you're unsure about.
