Intersection Ahead sign meaning?

• A. There is an upcoming crosswalk
• B. There is an upcoming intersection; slow and be prepared to stop or yield
• C. No turns allowed
• D. Pedestrian only zone

Answer: (B)

This sign is about an upcoming intersection. It warns you that you’ll soon reach a junction where traffic from side streets may enter or cross, so you should slow down and be prepared to stop or yield if necessary. You need to scan for vehicles and pedestrians from cross streets and follow any signals or road rules that apply at the intersection. Other signs describe different situations—crosswalk indicators warn about pedestrians, no-turn signs ban a specific turn, and pedestrian-only zones restrict vehicle traffic—so the intersection-ahead sign is specifically signaling a junction ahead and the need to proceed with caution.
