What is indicated by brown signs?

  1. Guidance for motorists

  2. Warnings for hazards

  3. Historic, cultural, or recreation sites

  4. Construction information

The correct answer is: Historic, cultural, or recreation sites

Brown signs are specifically used to indicate historic, cultural, or recreation sites. These signs are designed to provide travelers with information about attractions that may be of interest, such as parks, museums, monuments, or other significant locations. The use of brown for these types of signs helps differentiate them from other highway signs, which utilize different colors to convey different types of information—such as blue for services and yellow for warnings. Understanding the meaning behind the various colored signs helps drivers and passengers make informed decisions as they navigate. This context is essential for ensuring a better road trip experience, allowing individuals to discover and enjoy points of interest along their route.
