What does a No Passing Zone sign indicate?

• A. Speed limit ahead decreases.
• B. Pedestrian crossing ahead.
• C. Passing is prohibited ahead.
• D. Lane ends ahead.

Answer: (C)

A No Passing Zone sign alerts you that overtaking other vehicles is not allowed in the upcoming stretch. This rule exists because the roadway ahead has conditions—like limited visibility from a hill or a curve, or a nearby intersection—that make passing unsafe. So the instruction is to stay in your lane and not pass until you are clear of the no-passing zone. This sign is not about changing speed, pedestrian crossings, or a lane ending, which are indicated by different signs.
