Not quite. The answer is a counterclockwise

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island. Roundabouts are designed to reduce the number and severity of collisions as well as provide operational efficiencies.

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 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 driver of the vehicle facing downhill has the greater amount of control when backing.

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

You should signal for at least 100 feet before you turn. 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 right

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

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 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.

Not quite. The answer is white

Blind pedestrians may carry white canes or use the assistance of guide dogs.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

If there are no traffic control signals, you must slow down or stop for pedestrians within a marked or unmarked crosswalk. When making a left or right turn at any intersection, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.

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 The maximum allowable speed in a school zone when children are present

This sign warns drivers not to exceed the posted speed limit (15 mph as shown on the sign) near schools when children are present. Fifteen miles per hour also happens to be the default legal speed limit in any school zone in Mississippi if no speed limit sign is posted there.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

Before entering an intersection, look both left and right for approaching vehicles and crossing pedestrians. If you are stopped, look both left and right just before you start to move. Also look across the intersection to make sure that your way is clear through the intersection.

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.
