How do guide signs help you when driving?

I’m studying for my driver’s ed exam, but I keep stumbling across some questions related to guide signs. What are they and how do they aid you when you’re driving?

Good luck on your upcoming exam! Guide signs help you when driving by telling you where to go ahead of time and informing you of distances between your current location and exits or destinations.
Guide signs include:
  • Signs that denote the mileage of towns, cities, landmarks, or popular destinations
  • Signs that identify rivers, lakes, dams, or other bodies of water
  • Signs that direct drivers through intersections
  • Signs that denote what street, highway, county road, or interstate you’re on
In addition, brown signs identify recreational and cultural attractions while blue signs denote restaurants, gas stations, rest stops, and hospitals.
By knowing what these signs mean and how they can help you, you’re one step closer to getting your driver’s license. Just make sure that you shop
car insurance
 quotes before you get behind the wheel.
