Explanation:
In response to the question about highway intersection signs: A. Prepare to change lanes. B. Slow down and prepare to stop if necessary. C. Check your mirrors and blind spots for merging traffic. D. Be prepared for traffic merging from the right. When seeing a sign like HIGHWAY INTERSECTION 1000 FT, all options are important except A, preparing to change lanes, as it can be unsafe near intersections.
When you see a sign indicating a highway intersection ahead, you should prepare for merging traffic and changes in lane but not necessarily prepare to stop unless indicated by other traffic signs or signals. When you see a sign that says HIGHWAY INTERSECTION 1000 FT, you should do all of the following except: Slow down and prepare to stop if necessary.
This is because the sign is primarily a warning of an upcoming intersection where vehicles may be merging or crossing, but it does not necessarily indicate that stopping will be required unless there are other signs or signals indicating so. The correct actions to take include: Prepare to change lanes if needed to maintain or integrate with the flow of traffic, Check your mirrors and blind spots for merging traffic to safely navigate any potential merges.
