What does a One Way sign indicate?

• A. Traffic is allowed to move only in the direction shown.
• B. Traffic can go in either direction.
• C. You must yield to oncoming traffic.
• D. You are allowed to stop at the sign.

Answer: (C)

Traffic must move only in the direction shown. A One Way sign tells you that the street is arranged for traffic to flow in a single direction, so you should not drive the opposite way. This helps prevent head-on collisions on narrow or busy streets. The idea that traffic can go in either direction would apply to a two-way street, which this sign does not indicate. Yielding to oncoming traffic and stopping at the sign are not what this sign communicates; they relate to other signs or rules.
