Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

If there are two one way signs posted, what does it suggest?

1. Traffic is allowed to go both ways

2. Traffic flows in the same direction on both sides

3. The street is under construction

4. Drivers should be cautious about pedestrians

The correct answer is: Traffic flows in the same direction on both sides

When two one-way signs are posted, it indicates that traffic flows in the same direction on both sides of the signs. This situation typically arises in a roadway configuration where the signs are used to make clear to drivers that the lane or road ahead is designated strictly for unidirectional traffic. The presence of these signs is important for maintaining order and safety on the road, directing drivers to move only in the indicated direction and reducing the chance of collisions that could occur from oncoming traffic. In contrast, the first option incorrectly suggests that traffic is allowed to go both ways, which contradicts the purpose of one-way signs. The option implying that the street is under construction does not relate to the function of the one-way signs themselves; construction typically requires caution due to changing conditions, but the signs specifically dictate traffic flow, not construction status. Finally, the mention of drivers needing to be cautious about pedestrians, while always a valid consideration, does not relate directly to the implications of multiple one-way signs on traffic direction.
