Question: A sign showing a pedestrian in a red circle with a slash means what?
Answer options:
- Pedestrian crossing ✅ No pedestrians allowed
- School zone
- Trail entrance
Correct answer: No pedestrians allowed
Explanation: Under Québec’s Highway Safety Code, road signs featuring a red circle with a diagonal slash always indicate a strict prohibition, meaning pedestrians are forbidden from using or crossing that specific zone. Conversely, warning signs for pedestrian crossings and school zones are yellow or fluorescent shapes, while trail entrances use green, brown, or blue informational signs. This highlights the SAAQ standard where shape and color immediately communicate a sign's intent. Recognizing these regulatory design principles is a highly tested concept on the Class 5 theory exam, helping you easily identify prohibited actions on the road.
