Which sign indicates quayside or river bank ahead?

• A. A circular sign showing waves
• B. A rectangular sign with a water symbol
• C. A rectangular sign with the word Quayside
• D. A triangular warning sign depicting a quay and river bank

Answer: (D)

Warning signs that use a triangular shape with a red border alert you to hazards ahead. The sign showing a quay and the river bank is a specific warning for places where the road runs close to the edge of a quay or river, so you know to slow down and be prepared for potential hazards near the water, like a dropped edge or pedestrians nearby. The other options don’t fit because they don’t signal an imminent road hazard in this context: a circular sign with waves would be a mandatory instruction or prohibited action, not a warning of danger ahead; a rectangular sign with a water symbol would be informational rather than a hazard warning; a rectangular sign stating “Quayside” would simply indicate a location rather than warn you about the edge of the quay ahead.
