Practice questions with this sign

What does this sign mean?

  1. The right lane ends ahead
  2. The pavement narrows ahead (Correct answer)
  3. The paved surface ends ahead
  4. A narrow bridge ahead

Explanation: Both edges move closer together: the road itself becomes narrower. Slow down and keep right.

What should you do when you see this sign?

  1. Move to the centre of the road
  2. Slow down and keep right; there is less room ahead (Correct answer)
  3. Stop and wait for all oncoming traffic
  4. Speed up to pass before the road narrows

Explanation: With less width, oncoming vehicles pass closer to you. Slow down and keep well to the right.

How is this sign different from the 'right lane ends' sign?

  1. Only the right lane ends and must merge left
  2. Both edges move in, so the whole road narrows (Correct answer)
  3. The road splits around a median
  4. It warns of a narrow bridge

Explanation: When both edges come in, the road gets narrower overall. The right lane ends sign shows only one lane ending.
