A single broken (dashed) yellow line may be found on a two-lane, two-way roadway. Vehicles on either side may pass if it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is No-Zones

Don't hang out in a No-Zone! No-Zones are large areas around trucks and other large vehicles where cars may disappear into blind spots or get so close that they restrict the truck driver's ability to stop or maneuver safely. No-Zones greatly increase the likelihood of a crash.

Not quite. The answer is A double solid yellow line

A double solid yellow line means that passing is not allowed in either direction. You must not cross a double solid yellow line unless you are making a left turn.

A stop line is a wide white line painted across a traffic lane where you must stop before you enter an intersection. You should be able to see traffic coming from all directions.

Not quite. The answer is round.

Warning signs are usually diamond-shaped, but railroad crossing signs are round. Like other warning signs, they have black lettering or symbols on a yellow background.

Not quite. The answer is No trucks are allowed on this road.

A red circle with a diagonal red slash means "no." The red slash over the truck indicates that trucks are not allowed on this road. Truck drivers must look for an alternate route.

Not quite. The answer is move your vehicle forward.

If you are stopped at an intersection and another vehicle is approaching you from behind at high speed, you should move your vehicle forward somewhat (but not into the intersection!) to give the approaching vehicle more room to stop.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

Not quite. The answer is a speed limit sign on expressways.

A speed limit sign indicates the legal maximum speed allowed on the expressway under ideal driving conditions.

Not quite. The answer is Defensive driving

The National Safety Council defines defensive driving as "driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others." Defensive driving is about anticipating potentially dangerous situations in advance, including driving conditions and mistakes made by others, and planning how to deal with those situations. You owe it to yourself to become a defensive driver.

Not quite. The answer is Car A must yield to its right.

There are two basic right-of-way rules for uncontrolled intersections: Yield to your right, and yield to oncoming cars when you are turning left. Here, Car A must yield to its right. So Car B has the right-of-way.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above.

Not quite. The answer is a low ground clearance railroad crossing.

This sign indicates a low ground clearance railroad crossing. The railroad crossing is raised so high that a vehicle with a long wheelbase or low ground clearance can get stuck on the tracks. This type of railroad crossing should not normally present a problem for a car driver unless he or she is pulling a trailer or driving a motor home with a low ground clearance.

Not quite. The answer is You are approaching a stop sign.

This warning sign indicates that there is a stop sign ahead. Slow down and prepare to stop.

Not quite. The answer is Leave an empty lane between your vehicle and the emergency vehicle if you can do so safely. Otherwise, slow down and proceed with caution.

You must leave an empty lane beside any stopped emergency vehicle displaying its flashing lights. If changing lanes is unsafe or impossible, you must slow down and proceed with caution.
