What does the sign "school crossing" indicate to a driver?

Dip
Downgrade
Road narrows
Animal crossing

The correct answer is: Animal crossing

The "school crossing" sign is specifically designed to alert drivers that they are approaching an area where children may be crossing the street, typically near a school. This sign not only prompts drivers to be cautious and prepared to stop but also indicates that they should reduce their speed and remain vigilant for pedestrians, particularly children who may not always be aware of traffic rules. The other options, like "Dip," "Downgrade," and "Road narrows," refer to different scenarios on the road that require drivers to adjust their driving behavior but do not convey the critical safety message associated with a school crossing. The sign's primary purpose is to enhance safety during school hours, making it essential for drivers to recognize and respond appropriately to the presence of children in the vicinity.
