Question 5355
On a road with several lanes for traffic in the same direction, do the indications given by traffic signs apply to the entire width of the roadway?
- No, they only affect the lane closest to the sign.
- Yes, all signs apply to the entire width of the roadway.
- Yes, as a general rule, although their application may be limited to one or more lanes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as a general rule, although their application may be limited to one or more lanes.
As a general rule, a sign applies across the full width of the roadway that the drivers it addresses are allowed to use. Pavement markings may limit its application to one or more lanes, so not every sign applies to every lane.
