A sign shows a black walking figure inside a red circle with a red diagonal bar across it. What does it mean?
Pedestrians must use this walkway
Pedestrians are not allowed in the area
Pedestrians should take care here
Pedestrians have right of way here
Show the answer
B. Pedestrians are not allowed in the area
The red circle and bar make it a prohibition sign, so pedestrian access is not permitted. A sign telling pedestrians that they must use a walkway would be a blue mandatory sign.
