A

Street signs and street lights

18
Q

The spot where you can no longer stop safely is

A

the point of no return

19
Q

You are approaching an intersection that has traffic signals. The intersection is

A

unprotected

20
Q

Two kinds of signs are used to control intersections. They are the

A

stop sign and yield sign

21
Q

An intersection with a yield sign is

A

a controlled intersection

22
Q

If a traffic signal has a fourth or fifth light, it is likely to be a

A

left turn light

23
Q

A traffic light that has been green for some time is

A

stale, likely to turn yellow

24
Q

If left turns are not prohibited after a left-turn arrow ends, what strategy should you use to complete the turn?

A

treat it as an unprotected left turn

25
Q

A delayed green light means

A

one side of an intersection has a green light and the other side remains red

26
Q

Generally, you may turn right on red providing you

A

treat the light as you would a stop sign

27
Q

Red lights and crossing gates indicate

A

a controlled railroad crossing

28
Q

An intersection which has neither traffic signs nor traffic signals is

A

an uncontrolled intersection

29
Q

If two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection at about the same time, who must yield?

A

the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right

30
Q

You approach an uncontrolled intersection. You should treat it as though which sign is present?

A

a yield sign

31
Q

You are waiting to make a left turn from a four lane street. There are no signs or signals present. How does traffic affect your turning left?

A

you should not begin the turn until traffic is clear

32
Q

A railroad crossing is indicated by a

A

white, X-shaped sign

33
Q

Roundabouts are safer than intersections with traffic signals because

A

all traffic is moving in the same direction and head-on collisions are eliminated, there are no left turns across intersections, so dangerous conflicts are reduced, yield signs reduce delays and decrease the level of driver frustration and aggression

34
Q

Yielding the right of way means

A

letting others go first

35
Q

You have the right of way only

A

when other drivers give it to you

36

A

must yield the right of way

38
Q

You are preparing to enter traffic at an intersection. You must judge the

A

size of the gap between vehicles

39
Q

A

2 Blocks

40
Q

Joining traffic when turning right takes

A

a larger gap than crossing the intersection

41
