From point IGOR, which direction should you turn to parallel Highway 89?

• A. South
• B. North
• C. West
• D. East

Answer: (A)

To parallel a highway, you want a course that runs alongside it in the same direction as the road is laid out on the map. From IGOR, Highway 89 is drawn as a north–south line, and the segment you would be following for a parallel track is the southbound direction. So turning south puts your path parallel to Highway 89. Turning east or west would take you away from the highway, and north would follow the highway in the opposite sense for this location, not maintaining the same parallel alignment.
