What does a no-passing sign indicate?

• A. You are not allowed to pass other vehicles in that area.
• B. You may pass if there is a dashed line.
• C. No-passing signs only apply to school zones.
• D. You should pass slowly and with caution.

Answer: (A)

A no-passing sign means you are not allowed to pass other vehicles in that area. It’s placed where sight distances are poor or there are hazards that make passing dangerous, like hills or curves. The sign overrides any road markings, so you must stay behind the vehicle in front until you reach a place where passing is legally allowed. The idea of passing if there’s a dashed line or that it only applies to school zones isn’t correct, and you wouldn’t pass at all in a no-passing zone, even slowly or with extra caution.
