A 'No Passing' sign is placed

A 'No Passing' sign is placed

• A. On the left side of the road at the beginning of the no passing zone.
• B. On the right side of the road at the beginning
• C. In the middle of the road
• D. On the shoulder

Answer: (A)

A no passing sign marks the start of a no-passing zone and tells all drivers that passing is not allowed for the length of that stretch. It’s placed on the left side of the road at the entrance so it’s clearly visible to drivers as they approach from either direction, ensuring the warning is seen in time to refrain from passing. This placement helps both directions know when the restriction begins and reminds you that the restriction continues until you reach the end sign. Signs on the right side, in the middle, or on the shoulder wouldn’t provide the same reliable visibility or clearly mark the zone’s start.
