Which statement correctly describes the effect of a sign that indicates Do Not Enter?

• A. It Prohibits Entry To Traffic In The Direction Of Travel
• B. It Requires Traffic To Stop
• C. It Indicates A One-Way Street In The Opposite Direction
• D. It Signals A Pedestrian Crossing

Answer: (A)

Do Not Enter signs tell drivers that entering the roadway from their current direction is forbidden. The purpose is to keep vehicles from going the wrong way on a road, especially at the entrance to a one‑way street or restricted lane. Because of that, the correct description is that it Prohibits Entry To Traffic In The Direction Of Travel—you must not proceed in that direction.

This sign does not require you to stop, so you wouldn’t treat it like a Stop sign. It also isn’t indicating a one-way street in the opposite direction by itself (that would be shown by a separate one-way or wrong-way sign). And it isn’t signaling a pedestrian crossing—that would be a crosswalk sign or signal.
