Question 1: What does a 'Minimum Speed' sign on a highway mean?
- Drivers may not exceed this speed
- Drivers must maintain at least this speed on that road (Correct answer)
- Commercial vehicles only must maintain this speed
- This is a recommended speed for curves
Correct answer: Drivers must maintain at least this speed on that road
A minimum speed sign sets the lowest legal speed on a highway, typically on high-speed roads where driving too slowly creates a hazard.
Question 2: A 'Divided Highway Begins' sign on a US road means:
- The road narrows to one lane ahead
- A median or divider is about to separate opposing lanes of traffic (Correct answer)
- The speed limit increases ahead
- Passing is now prohibited
Correct answer: A median or divider is about to separate opposing lanes of traffic
The 'Divided Highway Begins' sign alerts drivers that the road ahead will have a physical median separating opposing traffic directions.
Question 3: What does a 'Divided Highway Ends' sign indicate?
- The median widens ahead
- The dividing median ends and traffic will share a two-way road again (Correct answer)
- A traffic circle is ahead

Correct answer: The dividing median ends and traffic will share a two-way road again
The 'Divided Highway Ends' sign warns drivers that the median is ending and they will soon share the road with oncoming traffic in a two-way configuration.

- A lane is closing ahead and you must merge
- A new lane is joining from a ramp and traffic will not need to merge immediately (Correct answer)
- The speed limit decreases for the new lane

Correct answer: A new lane is joining from a ramp and traffic will not need to merge immediately
