A placard reads 'Panel is for flammable liquid'. What does this indicate?

• A. The vehicle carries a non-flammable substance
• B. The vehicle carries dangerous goods in packages
• C. The vehicle is allowed to pass
• D. The panel indicates flammable liquid on board

Answer: (D)

Hazard warning placards on vehicles tell others what dangerous goods are on board. When a panel reads “Panel is for flammable liquid,” it means the vehicle is carrying flammable liquids (hazard class 3). This signals a real fire risk, so you’d keep away from ignition sources and follow safety rules around the vehicle. It’s about the type of hazard carried, not about whether the substance is non-flammable, nor about whether the goods are in packages versus bulk, and it doesn’t grant any permission to pass or stop. The key point is that the placard identifies the specific danger on board so people can act with the proper caution.
