Not quite. The answer is Traffic must make a left turn only.

This is a traffic regulatory sign. This sign indicates that the traffic must make a left turn only.

Not quite. The answer is You must make a U-turn from this lane.

This unusual lane control sign indicates that all vehicles in this lane must make a U-turn. This sign may be accompanied by an equally unusual traffic signal whose lighted U-turn arrows will indicate when the vehicles can make the U-turns.

Not quite. The answer is a school zone

School zones are sensitive areas because children from all directions can cross the road. A school zone may be marked by signs with flashing yellow lights. When the yellow lights are flashing, all drivers must slow down to the speed limit shown on the signs. Despite what the Alabama Driver Manual suggests, the speed limit in an Alabama school zone when children are going to or coming from school is 15 mph except where otherwise posted.

Not quite. The answer is you must not drive in this lane.

Lane-use control signals are special overhead signals that permit or prohibit the use of specific lanes of a street or highway. A steady red X signal over a lane indicates that you must not drive in this lane.

Not quite. The answer is approaching a stop sign or signal.

Rumble strips are a series of indented elements installed on a paved roadway shoulder near the travel lane, on a two-lane roadway near the center line, or in a lane of traffic approaching a stop sign or signal. Rumble strips are intended to alert drowsy or inattentive drivers through vibration and sound that their vehicles have left the travel lane or are approaching a stop sign or signal.

Not quite. The answer is you need to make a right turn to enter Route 47 north.

This sign tells you to turn right to go north on route 47.

Not quite. The answer is A road crew at work

This sign indicates that workers are performing maintenance on the roadway. Slow down, proceed with caution, and follow signs and instructions. If possible, move into a lane farther from the workers.

Not quite. The answer is a broken white line

If there is a broken line next to your lane, you may pass when it's safe to do so. If the broken line is white, traffic moves in the same direction on both sides of the line. If the broken line is yellow, traffic moves in opposite directions.

Not quite. The answer is Do not walk.

Pedestrian signals are only for controlling pedestrian traffic. This signal showing an upraised hand tells pedestrians that they may not enter the crosswalk to cross the roadway. (Older signals had the words "DONT WALK" illuminated instead.) A signal showing a person walking tells pedestrians that they may enter the crosswalk. (Older signals had the word "WALK" illuminated instead.)

Not quite. The answer is slow down and stop if necessary.

If you see a yield sign in your lane, you must slow down (and stop if necessary) to yield to all pedestrians and vehicles on the roadway you are crossing or entering.

Not quite. The answer is making left turns.

This is a two-way left-turn lane, also known as a shared central turning lane. This lane is reserved for vehicles traveling in either direction to make left turns. Use this lane with caution because vehicles traveling in the opposite direction may also be using it. This lane must never be used for passing.

Not quite. The answer is a yield sign ahead.

This sign gives advance warning of a yield sign ahead. Prepare to slow down and yield to vehicles approaching from other roadways.

Not quite. The answer is guide drivers into certain traffic lanes.

Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels may be used in work zones in both day and night to guide drivers into certain traffic lanes and inform them that part of the road or street ahead is closed.

Not quite. The answer is Yield the right-of-way or stop before turning right or left.

You may see this sign at the terminating road of some T-intersections. It means that you must yield the right of way or stop before you turn right or left onto the through road.

Not quite. The answer is Left turns are not allowed.

On prohibitory signs, a red circle and slash mean "no." This sign means that left turns are prohibited here.

Not quite. The answer is None of the above

A white line separates two lanes traveling in the same direction. If it's a broken line, you may cross it to pass or change lanes. If it's a solid line, you should usually stay in your lane.

Not quite. The answer is Rest area ahead

This sign indicates a rest area open on the right.

Not quite. The answer is there is a broken yellow line on your side.

You may pass if there is a broken yellow line on your side.

Not quite. The answer is Pedestrians may enter the crosswalk.

Pedestrian signals are only for controlling pedestrian traffic. This signal showing a person walking tells pedestrians that they may enter the crosswalk to cross the roadway. (Older signals had the word "WALK" illuminated instead.) A signal showing an upraised hand tells pedestrians that they may not enter the crosswalk. (Older signals had the words "DONT WALK" illuminated instead.)
