What should you do when approaching a knocked down traffic sign?

  1. Stop and wait for instruction

  2. Treat it as a stop sign

  3. Treat it as a yield sign

  4. Treat it as a regulatory sign

The correct answer is: Treat it as a stop sign

When approaching a knocked down traffic sign, it is important to treat it as a stop sign. This is because the sign may have been knocked down due to an accident or emergency, and it is important to proceed with caution. Option A is incorrect because stopping and waiting for instruction may cause further disruption to traffic flow. Option C is incorrect because treating it as a yield sign may lead to confusion and potential accidents. Option D is incorrect because treating it as a regulatory sign may cause you to follow a rule that is no longer applicable due to the sign being knocked down.
