RS-022 — Exit Countdown Markers

Question

On a freeway you pass rectangular signs showing three bars, then two, then one. What do they mean?

A. A countdown of the distance to the next exit (300 m, 200 m, 100 m) B. The number of lanes ahead C. A speed reducing in steps

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Countdown markers show three, two and one diagonal bars at 300, 200 and 100 metres before a freeway exit, so you can prepare to leave at speed. They are not lane counts or a stepped speed limit.
