Not quite. The answer is You must make a U-turn from this lane.

This unusual lane control sign indicates that all vehicles in this lane must make a U-turn. This sign may be accompanied by an equally unusual traffic signal whose lighted U-turn arrows will indicate when the vehicles can make the U-turns.

Not quite. The answer is Move only in the directions indicated.

Lane use control signs are rectangular, black-and-white signs indicating that turning is required or unusual turning is permitted from specified lanes at an intersection. You must move your vehicle only in the direction indicated for your traffic lane.

Not quite. The answer is You don’t need to slow down for a work zone if there are no workers present.

You must obey work zone signage even when there are no workers present. Work zones may be subject to increased police activity, and any fine you receive there may be doubled. Most vehicle accidents in work zones are rear-end collisions, so drivers must remain aware of traffic and not get distracted by the work taking place.

Not quite. The answer is A divided highway is ahead.

Not quite. The answer is You will have to slow down ahead.

This sign indicates a speed zone ahead. This is an area where a lower speed limit has been established. Prepare to slow down so you won't exceed the speed limit there.

Not quite. The answer is Cross a solid line immediately after entering the freeway or immediately before exiting the freeway.

Freeways and interstate highways are designed to handle higher-speed traffic safely. Do not cross a solid line while entering or exiting a freeway.

Not quite. The answer is you need to make a right turn to enter Route 47 north.

Not quite. The answer is stop unless they are already in the intersection.

Not quite. The answer is You can be cited for driving at the maximum speed limit.

In Colorado, the speed limit in any business district is 25 mph unless otherwise posted. The speed limit on urban interstate highways is 55 mph unless otherwise posted. However, Colorado law requires you to drive at a speed that is "reasonable and prudent" for existing driving conditions. Under hazardous driving conditions, you must slow down below the maximum speed limit. You can be cited for driving too fast for existing conditions even if you aren't exceeding the maximum speed limit.

Not quite. The answer is It indicates the direction.

This is a directional arrow sign.

Not quite. The answer is The recommended speed limit is 35 mph.

A double solid white line marks the edge of a traffic lane where travel in the same direction is permitted on both sides of the line, but crossing the line is prohibited.

Not quite. The answer is A traffic signal ahead at an intersection
