Question 684 in the bank

What is a driver required to do when approaching the following traffic sign?

A black horizontal rectangle with a white left-pointing chevron, a white diamond in the centre, and a white right-pointing chevron. Meaning: Slow down before the intersection and proceed in the directions indicated by the Chevrons in the sign only.
  1. Correct answer: Slow down before the intersection and proceed in the directions indicated by the Chevrons in the sign only.
  2. Slow down in the place where road works take place and continue driving.
  3. Stop before the sign and turn right or left.
  4. Overtake the sign from left or right and continue driving.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down before the intersection and proceed in the directions indicated by the Chevrons in the sign only.

This sign stands facing the driver where the road ends at an intersection, so going straight ahead is impossible. The chevrons show the only directions in which you can continue, so slow down before the intersection and turn only as they indicate. The sign does not require a full stop, and it is not an island to drive around.
