What does a road sign stating "two-way traffic" mean for the driver?

  1. Merging lanes

  2. Road curves right ahead

  3. Road turns to the right

  4. Road curves right

The correct answer is: Merging lanes

A sign indicating "two-way traffic" informs drivers that they are entering a section of the road where vehicles will be traveling in both directions. This is essential knowledge for maintaining safety, as it requires drivers to be vigilant and prepared to encounter oncoming traffic. Drivers may need to adjust their speed or position on the road accordingly to navigate safely in a two-way traffic environment. The mention of merging lanes or turns is less relevant when interpreting a two-way traffic sign. The focus here is specifically on the awareness of traffic coming from the opposite direction rather than any lane adjustments or curve notifications. Being mindful of this information is crucial for safe driving practices in areas where traffic flow is bidirectional.
