Not quite. The answer is one vehicle length.

When stopped behind another vehicle on a hill, you should stay back about one vehicle length. If you are too close to it, it may roll back into your vehicle when it starts.

Not quite. The answer is both pedestrians and vehicles in the circle.

A vehicle entering a traffic circle (sometimes called a rotary) must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in crosswalks and vehicles already in the circle.

Not quite. The answer is You must come to a complete stop.

This is a stop sign, the only octagonal (eight-sided) traffic sign. It means that you must come to a complete stop. If there is a stop line, you must stop behind the stop line. If there is a crosswalk, you must stop before entering the crosswalk. Then yield to cross traffic and pedestrians before proceeding.

Not quite. The answer is A stop sign

This eight-sided sign is a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop and yield the appropriate right-of-way.

Not quite. The answer is Come to a complete stop and yield to any traffic before proceeding.

You must come to a complete stop and yield to all traffic and pedestrians ahead. You can then proceed when the intersection is clear and there are no vehicles approaching that might represent a hazard.

Not quite. The answer is stop behind the line

A single solid white line across the road at an intersection is a stop line. You must stop behind the stop line for a traffic signal or sign.

Not quite. The answer is Car C

In a multilane roundabout or any other type of intersection, you must always follow road signs and pavement markings and make sure that you are in the correct lane. You should turn left from the left lane, turn right from the right lane, and drive straight through using either lane. Here, Car C has incorrectly turned left from the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is A school zone

A five-sided yellow or fluorescent yellow-green sign warns that you are entering a school zone, an area near a school in which children may be crossing the road.

Not quite. The answer is Car A is to the left of Car B and therefore must yield.

When two cars arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, the car on the left must yield to its right. Therefore, Car A must yield.

Not quite. The answer is left-right-left

When you come to an intersection, follow the left-right-left rule. Look to the left first because vehicles coming from the left are closer to you. Then look to the right. Take one more look to the left before you pull out. That way, you might see a vehicle that you did not see the first time you looked.

Not quite. The answer is yield to the traffic in the roundabout.

A roundabout is an intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island. Approaching vehicles must yield the right-of-way to the traffic in the roundabout. Always enter the roundabout, heading to the right (that is, in a counterclockwise direction).

Not quite. The answer is in a counterclockwise direction.

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island. You enter and exit the roundabout by heading right.

Not quite. The answer is A playground ahead

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards. This sign indicates a playground ahead.

Not quite. The answer is a school zone.

This pentagonal (five-sided) sign indicates a school zone. Children in a school crosswalk have the right-of-way.

Not quite. The answer is stop behind the line

At an intersection, a single solid white line across the road is a stop line. You must stop behind the stop line for a traffic signal or sign.

Not quite. The answer is The pedestrian

A vehicle must yield to pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk. And at an uncontrolled intersection, after considering pedestrians, each car must yield to the one on its right. Therefore, Car A must yield to Car B, Car B must yield to Car C, and Car C must yield to the pedestrian.

Not quite. The answer is white

Blind pedestrians may carry white canes or use the assistance of guide dogs. Blind pedestrians always have the right-of-way.
