Minnesota Permit Practice Test

What type of information do informational signs typically provide?

1. Warning about hazards

2. Directions and services

3. Speed limits

4. Construction updates

The correct answer is: Directions and services

Informational signs are designed to provide motorists with essential guidance related to directions and available services. These signs typically include details about where to find amenities such as gas stations, rest areas, and restaurants, as well as important directional information to help navigate routes. This kind of signage is crucial for enhancing the travel experience by ensuring that drivers are well-informed about their surroundings, can locate important services, and can follow appropriate routes without confusion. In contrast, warning signs alert drivers to potential hazards on the road; speed limit signs indicate legal driving speeds; and construction signs inform drivers of road work or changes in traffic patterns. Each of these other categories of signs serves specific safety or regulatory purposes but does not primarily focus on providing directional or service-related information.
