Montana MVD Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is You are not allowed to enter

The road ahead is a one-way roadway or all vehicular traffic is prohibited. DO NOT ENTER.

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 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 the greater amount of control when backing up.

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 Stop

This is, of course, a stop sign, the only type of sign that is octagonal (eight-sided). A stop sign has the word "STOP" printed in white on a red background. At a stop sign, you must stop behind the stop line or crosswalk if any. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

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

A roundabout is an intersection where 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.

Not quite. The answer is reduce your speed, be prepared to yield and stop, and check traffic from all directions.

When two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals) at about the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. When proceeding through an uncontrolled intersection, take your foot off the accelerator, cover the brake, look left, right, and left again, and be prepared to yield.

Not quite. The answer is Car A

In a multilane roundabout or any other type of intersection, you must always follow road signs and pavement markings. Here, Car A is making a U-turn by correctly starting from the left lane. Car B is making a left turn by incorrectly starting from the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, but only after you yield to all traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.

You can proceed on a green signal after yielding to all pedestrians and traffic that are already in the intersection.

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

This is a yield sign. This sign tells you that you don't have the right-of-way. As you approach a yield sign, you must slow down and yield to pedestrians and traffic entering from other roads before you proceed. You may also need to stop for them, so be ready.

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. In Montana, a local authority can set a school zone speed limit as low as 15 mph.

Not quite. The answer is proceed to the next intersection and turn properly there.

If you approached a turn in the wrong lane or forgot to signal, you should proceed to the next intersection, get into the proper lane, signal, and then turn there.

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

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

Not quite. The answer is The right-of-way is to be given, not taken.

The law states who must yield the right-of-way; it doesn't give anyone the right-of-way. You may encounter drivers or pedestrians who are not following the rules. In such situations, yield the right-of-way rather than risk a conflict that could result in an accident.
