The answer, explained

Blue service signs help drivers find facilities such as fuel, food, lodging, or medical services. The pictured fuel-pump symbol identifies one of those services.

Use the symbol and any arrows or accompanying words to identify the facility and how to reach it. Blue has other sign applications too, so the color alone should not replace reading the complete sign.

A common mistake

Assuming every blue sign means fuel ignores other service symbols and blue emergency-information signs.
