Which route type is closed to all traffic due to safety or capacity concerns?

• A. Open route
• B. Prohibited route
• C. Reserved route
• D. Dispatch route

Answer: (B)

When a route is shut down to every vehicle because of safety or capacity concerns, it is designated as a prohibited route. The term conveys a formal prohibition, indicating that no traffic is allowed on that route until conditions improve. Open routes are available for general traffic, so they’re not closed. Reserved routes are set aside for specific uses or users and may still see limited access. Dispatch routes refer to planned paths for particular vehicles or services, not a blanket closure.
