Correct answer: A school crossing is coming up.
Answer options

- CA school crossing is coming up. Correct
Why
The five-sided, schoolhouse shape marks school zones and school crossings, and this one warns that children may be crossing ahead. Slow down, follow any reduced school-zone speed limit, and let the children cross first.
Tip A pentagon-shaped sign points to school-zone rules, whereas an ordinary pedestrian crossing uses a diamond-shaped sign.
