Question 1
You come to a traffic light that is flashing red. What must you do?
Correct answer: B
A flashing red light is treated like a STOP sign: full stop, yield, then proceed. A flashing yellow light is the one that only requires caution.
-
Question 2
You come to a traffic light that is flashing yellow. What should you do?
Correct answer: C
A flashing yellow light warns you to proceed with caution and watch for cross traffic. It does not require a stop.
-
Question 3
Your light turns steady yellow as you approach the intersection. What does it mean?
Correct answer: A
A steady yellow light warns that the signal is changing to red. Stop if you can do so safely; if you are already too close to stop, continue carefully.
-
Question 4
A flashing yellow left-turn arrow means you may turn left
Correct answer: D
A flashing yellow arrow allows a left turn, but it is not protected: oncoming cars may have a green light. Wait for a safe gap and watch for pedestrians.
-
Question 5
You have a steady green arrow pointing left. What does it mean?
Correct answer: A
A green arrow gives a protected turn: oncoming traffic faces a red light. Still check for pedestrians or vehicles that are clearing the intersection.
-
Question 6
Unless a sign forbids it, most U.S. states allow you to turn right at a red light
Correct answer: C
Right on red is allowed in most places, but only after a full stop and only when the way is clear. A NO TURN ON RED sign removes this permission, and some cities ban it.
-
Question 7
A stop sign has no stop line painted on the road. Where should you stop?
Correct answer: D
Stop at the stop line if there is one; if not, stop before the crosswalk; if there is no crosswalk, stop where you can see cross traffic without entering the intersection.
-
Question 8
How should you make a right turn from a road with two lanes in your direction?
Correct answer: B
Start a right turn close to the right edge and finish in the right-hand lane. Swinging wide or ending in a far lane can cut off other drivers.
-
Question 9
You are stopped in an intersection waiting to turn left. How should your front wheels point?
Correct answer: C
If your wheels are already turned left and someone hits you from behind, your car will be pushed into oncoming traffic. Keep them straight until you begin to turn.
-
Question 10
Your light is green, but traffic is backed up on the far side of the intersection. What should you do?
Correct answer: A
If you enter and get stuck, you will block cross traffic when the light changes. Do not enter an intersection unless you can clear it.
Questions you leave blank are not counted as wrong.
