Minnesota DVS Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is a school zone ahead.

This sign indicates a school zone ahead. Schoolchildren may be crossing the road ahead, so slow down and proceed with caution.

Not quite. The answer is white

Blind pedestrians may carry white canes or use guide dogs.

Not quite. The answer is a counterclockwise direction.

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which vehicles travel counterclockwise around a central island.

Not quite. The answer is The vehicle traveling uphill

When two vehicles meet on a steep mountain road where neither can pass, the vehicle traveling downhill must yield the right-of-way by backing up until the vehicle going uphill can pass. The vehicle facing downhill has more control when backing up.

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

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

Not quite. The answer is left-right-left rule

When you come to an intersection, follow the left-right-left rule: Look to your left first because vehicles coming from the left are closer to you. Then look to your right. Finally, take one more look to your left before you proceed. You might see a vehicle on your left that you did not see the first time you looked.

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 the vehicle, it may roll back into your vehicle when it starts.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, for at least 100 feet.

In Minnesota, you must signal for at least 100 feet before you turn. You must continue to signal until your turn or merge is complete. You must signal even if you cannot see pedestrians or other vehicles around. The most dangerous vehicle on the road could be the one you don't see.

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

You must come to a complete stop and yield to any traffic ahead. You can then proceed when the intersection is clear.

Not quite. The answer is Car A must yield because it is to the left of Car B.

When two cars arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at about the same time, the car on the left must yield. Here, Car A must yield.

Not quite. The answer is stop and wait until the pedestrian has passed.

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing at intersections and crosswalks. When a pedestrian is in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, you must stop and wait until the pedestrian has passed your lane.

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. Generally, 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 stop and wait until the pedestrian has passed.

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing at intersections and crosswalks. When a pedestrian is in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, you are required to stop and wait until the pedestrian has passed your lane.

Not quite. The answer is Controlled, uncontrolled, and blind

An intersection is a road junction where two or more roads cross or merge at-grade (i.e., at the same level). There are controlled, uncontrolled, and blind intersections. An interchange is a road junction where two or more roads cross over one another (i.e., at different levels) so as not to impede one another's traffic flow. There are diamond, cloverleaf, and stack interchanges, among others.

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 A stop sign

The only type of traffic sign that is octagonal (eight-sided) is the stop sign. When you encounter a stop sign, you must stop and then yield to pedestrians and approaching vehicles before you may proceed.

Not quite. The answer is yield the right-of-way to the pedestrians.

You must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in a crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked.

Not quite. The answer is Slow down and prepare to yield to pedestrians and traffic ahead.

This is a yield sign. As you approach a yield sign, you must slow down and prepare to yield to traffic ahead. You may need to stop too, so be ready.
