What do blue road signs typically indicate?

  1. Directions

  2. Warnings

  3. Road conditions

  4. Motorist services

The correct answer is: Motorist services

Blue road signs are commonly used to convey information related to motorist services. These signs provide helpful details about amenities and services available to drivers, such as rest areas, fuel stations, hospitals, and lodging. The blue color is specifically designated for these types of informational signs, making it easy for motorists to recognize and understand the services available along their route. This distinguishes them from other signs; for example, warning signs often use yellow or orange to alert drivers to potential hazards, while directional signs may be green, providing information about routes, exits, and other navigational details. Road condition signs, which typically display information about weather impacts or road work, also use different colors and designs to communicate their messages.
