Texas Car / Permit practice question · Road Signs
A yellow (or fluorescent-green) diamond-shaped sign showing a walking pedestrian is posted ahead. What does it mean?
Answer choices
- A yield sign is ahead; be prepared to yield.
- The roadway becomes narrower ahead.
- Watch for people crossing; be ready to stop and yield.— Correct answer
- The road is slippery when wet; slow down and avoid hard braking.
Why this is the answer
A pedestrian-crossing warning means many people on foot cross the street near you. Slow down, watch for pedestrians, and be ready to give way, since drivers must give pedestrians the right-of-way in a crosswalk. It does not signal a yield sign, a narrowing road or slippery pavement, each of which has other symbols.
