1. A traffic light which has a green arrow and a red light means that:

• You may only drive straight ahead
• ✓ You may drive only in the direction of the green arrow
• You must wait for a green light
• Vehicles moving in any direction must stop

If a green arrow is shown with a red light, you may go toward the arrow, but only if the intersection is clear.

2. As you near an intersection, the traffic light changes from green to yellow. Your best action would be to:

• Speed up to beat the red light
• Apply the brakes sharply to stop
• Be prepared to stop in the center of the intersection
• ✓ Be prepared to stop before the intersection

A steady yellow light means the light is about to turn red — be prepared to stop before the intersection, not speed up or slam the brakes.

3. You may not cross a single broken white (or yellow) line:

• ✓ When to do so would interfere with traffic
• When turning left into a driveway
• When the car in front is disabled
• When passing to the right on a one-way street

A single broken line allows passing or changing lanes only when it can be done safely, without interfering with traffic.

4. What does this road sign (stop sign) mean?

• Slow down and prepare to stop only if cars are approaching you
• ✓ Come to a full stop, then go when it is safe to do so
• Proceed carefully through the intersection, not always stopping
• Stop only for traffic on an intersecting road

A stop sign requires a full stop, yielding the right-of-way, then proceeding only when it's safe.

5. A solid white line on the right edge of the highway slants in toward your left. This shows that:

• There is an intersection just ahead
• You are approaching a construction area
• You will be required to turn left just ahead
• ✓ The road will get narrower

An edge line that angles toward the center of the road warns that the road narrows ahead.

6. When the road is marked with a solid yellow line and a broken yellow line on your side you may pass:

• Only in an emergency
• If you are on an expressway
• ✓ If traffic is clear
• Only at an intersection

On the broken-line side of a solid/broken yellow line pair, you may pass if it's safe and won't interfere with traffic.

7. What are the colors of the warning signs that indicate hazards ahead, such as curves in the road or narrow bridges?

• Black letters or symbols on a white background
• ✓ Black letters or symbols on a yellow background
• White letters or symbols on a blue background
• White letters or symbols on a green background

Warning signs are yellow and diamond-shaped, with black letters or symbols.

8. You may cross a single solid white line in the highway:

• Whenever you want to
• ✓ If traffic conditions require
• Only to turn into a driveway
• Only to make a u-turn

A single solid line allows passing or changing lanes only when obstructions or traffic conditions make it necessary.

9. A rectangular-shaped sign is a:

• Stop sign
• ✓ Speed limit sign
• Railroad crossing sign
• School crossing sign

Regulation signs, like speed limit signs, are normally white rectangles with black letters or symbols.

10. You come to an intersection which has a flashing red light. You should:

• ✓ Come to a full stop, then go when safe to do so
• Stop only if cars are approaching the intersection
• Stop only if cars are already in the intersection
• Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary

A flashing red light means the same as a stop sign: stop, yield the right-of-way, and go when it's safe.

11. Which of the following is used on some highways to direct drivers into the proper lanes for turning?

• Flashing red lights
• Flashing yellow lights
• White lines on the side of the road
• ✓ White arrows in the middle of the lanes

Pavement arrows show which lane you must be in before you reach the line separating lanes.

12. What does a flashing yellow light mean?

• Merging traffic
• ✓ Proceed with caution
• Pedestrian crossing
• Come to a full stop

A flashing yellow light means drive with caution — it does not require a stop.

13. What are the colors of a sign which tells you the distance to the next exit of a highway?

• Yellow with black letters
• Black with white letters
• Red with white letters
• ✓ Green with white letters

Destination signs, which show direction and distance to locations, are green with white letters.

14. You may cross a double solid yellow line:

• To pass a slow moving truck
• ✓ To turn into a driveway
• To pass a car if traffic permits
• Under no conditions

Double solid lines may only be crossed to turn left to enter or leave the highway, such as into a driveway.

15. An intersection has a stop sign and a crosswalk, but no stop line. You must stop:

• ✓ Before the crosswalk
• 50 feet before the intersection
• Where you think the stop line would be
• With your front wheels in the crosswalk

Without a stop line, you must stop before entering the crosswalk.

16. A diamond-shaped sign is a:

• ✓ Road hazard sign
• Interstate route site
• School crossing sign
• Speed limit sign

Diamond-shaped signs are warning signs, alerting drivers to hazards or special conditions ahead.

17. A red and white triangular sign at an intersection means:

• Always come to a full stop at the intersection
• ✓ Slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary
• Look both ways as you cross the intersection
• Slow down if an emergency vehicle is approaching

A Yield sign means decrease speed, prepare to stop, and yield the right-of-way — a full stop is only required if traffic conditions call for it.

18. Which of the following must you obey over the other three?

• A steady red light
• ✓ A police officer
• A stop sign
• A flashing red light

Directions given by a traffic officer take precedence over any sign, signal, or pavement marking.
