Which of the following is not listed as a cue to identify an intersection?

Identifying an intersection relies on perceptible environmental cues. A curb cut at the corner signals a descent to the roadway and often marks the crossing point. The end of a grass line shows where the landscaped edge ends and the street begins, another landmark for locating the corner. A shift in sound, light, breeze, or temperature often accompanies traffic activity or crossing features and helps you sense that you’re near an intersection. Traffic signal timing, while important for deciding when it’s safe to cross, isn’t a cue you can perceive to identify the intersection itself; it’s information about the signal cycle that you typically receive from the signal or from prior knowledge, not a direct environmental cue. So the item that isn’t listed as a cue is traffic signal timing.
