A pedestrian crossing sign has a downward arrow plaque. What does the arrow show?

  1. The place where people must stop
  2. The place where people cross the road
  3. The side of the road with a sidewalk
  4. The end of the crosswalk zone
Show answer

Correct answer: The place where people cross the road

A diagonal downward arrow plaque marks the crosswalk location. The sign stands at the crosswalk, so look for people there.
