Nevada DMV Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is Car A

Car A is using this roundabout correctly. Apparently, Car A missed its exit the first time, but it is acting correctly by going all the way around the roundabout to try again. Car B has started from the right lane to make a left turn, which is incorrect.

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 A school zone

This sign indicates that you are entering a school zone. Schoolchildren may be crossing the road ahead, so slow down and proceed with caution when schoolchildren are around.

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

If there are no traffic signals or the traffic signals are not working, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk on your side of the roadway.

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 a school zone.

This sign indicates a school zone ahead. Schoolchildren may be crossing the road ahead, so slow down and proceed with caution. You may also need to stop for them, so be ready.

Not quite. The answer is You must stop.

This is, of course, a stop sign, the only type of sign that is octagonal (eight sided). When you encounter this sign, you must come to a complete stop and yield to pedestrians and traffic. You can then proceed when the intersection is clear.

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 already in the roundabout. Always enter to the right of the central island.

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.

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 on the right

When two vehicles enter an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals) from different roadways at about the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.

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. If there is no stop line, you must stop before the crosswalk.

Not quite. The answer is a counterclockwise

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which vehicles travel around a central island in a counterclockwise direction. These intersections are designed to reduce the number and severity of collisions as well as provide operational efficiencies.

Not quite. The answer is a counterclockwise direction.

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island. When entering a roundabout, you must yield the right-of-way to the traffic in the roundabout and drive in a counterclockwise direction.

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 apparently disregarded the painted arrows and incorrectly turned left from the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is pedestrians and vehicles already in the roundabout.

When entering a roundabout, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles already in the roundabout.

Not quite. The answer is There is a crossroad ahead; be alert for cross traffic.

This sign indicates a crossroad ahead. Be alert for cross traffic and regulatory signs or signals.

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 didn't see the first time you looked.

Not quite. The answer is Stop and yield to traffic.

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