What does a sign with a picture of a person with a backpack indicate?

  1. Hiking trail ahead.

  2. Pedestrian crosswalk ahead.

  3. School zone ahead.

  4. No pedestrians allowed.

The correct answer is: Hiking trail ahead.

A sign with a picture of a person with a backpack indicates a hiking trail ahead. This sign is typically seen in areas with designated trails for hiking, such as national parks or nature reserves. The person with a backpack symbol typically represents a hiker or backpacker, and the sign serves as a warning to drivers that there may be people walking or hiking in the area. It is not typically used to indicate a pedestrian crosswalk ahead, as that would be specified by a different sign with a picture of a person walking. Additionally, it is not used to indicate a school zone ahead, as that would be designated by a specific school zone sign. And finally, it does not indicate that no pedestrians are allowed, as that would be designated by a "no pedestrian" sign instead. Therefore, the correct answer is A, hiking trail ahead.
