What signs are typically accompanied with a 'BLASTING ZONE AHEAD' warning sign?

A) Flaggers Ahead B) Explosives Ahead C) "Turn Off Ignition" D) "Blasting Zone Ends"

Answer:

A 'BLASTING ZONE AHEAD' warning sign is not necessarily accompanied by any specific signs.

When you see a 'BLASTING ZONE AHEAD' warning sign, it does not necessarily have to be accompanied by any specific additional signs. However, it's common to see associated signs such as 'Road Workers Ahead', or 'Detour' signs in such areas. The purpose of these signs is to alert drivers about potential dangers and instruct them to proceed with caution.

Option C, 'Turn Off Ignition' could sometimes be seen when vehicles are expected to stop for extended periods to ensure safety due to ongoing blasting. The sign 'Blasting Zone Ends' (option D) signifies the end of the blasting zone.

Remember, always stay vigilant and follow the instructions on road signs to ensure a safe journey for yourself and others.
