Answer: B — They must ensure to follow the direction indicated.

When drivers encounter a sign indicating "One-way traffic," they must follow the direction indicated on the sign. This type of sign is crucial for maintaining safe traffic flow and preventing accidents that can occur if vehicles travel against the designated direction. One-way streets are often implemented in urban areas to enhance efficiency and reduce the likelihood of collisions. Ignoring the sign and driving in the opposite direction can lead to dangerous situations, not only for the driver but also for others on the road. Therefore, adhering to the sign's indication is essential for the safety of all road users.
