1Question 1 of 14
Car B arrives at this intersection after Car C. Who has the right-of-way?
Not quite. The answer is Car C because it arrived first
When vehicles arrive at a four-way stop at different times, they should proceed in the order in which they arrived. Here, Car C proceeds first because it arrived first.
2Question 2 of 14
Three cars arrive at an intersection at about the same time. Who has the right-of-way here?
Not quite. The answer is The pedestrian
A vehicle must yield to pedestrians in a marked or an 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. Note: In New York City, effective January 19, 2022, any vehicle or bicycle must stop – not just yield – for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, and it must remain stopped until the pedestrian has crossed. This new rule applies to both controlled and uncontrolled intersections.

As you approach an intersection, you see a pedestrian entering the crosswalk. You must stop
Not quite. The answer is before the crosswalk.
You must always yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked. Note: In New York City, effective January 19, 2022, you must stop – not just yield – for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, and you must remain stopped until the pedestrian has crossed. This new rule applies to both controlled and uncontrolled intersections.
4Question 4 of 14
You drive up to an intersection and you see this sign. What should you do?
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 all traffic and pedestrians ahead. You can then proceed when the intersection is clear and there are no vehicles approaching that may present a hazard.

5Question 5 of 14
You are driving at 65 mph when you encounter this sign. What does it mean?
Not quite. The answer is You will have to slow down ahead.
This sign indicates a speed zone ahead. This is an area where a lower speed limit has been established. Prepare to slow down so you won't exceed the speed limit there.
6Question 6 of 14
When you encounter this sign, you must
Not quite. The answer is come to a complete stop and yield to approaching traffic.
At a STOP sign, you must come to a complete stop before the stop line, the crosswalk, or the intersection. Then yield to approaching traffic and proceed when it is safe to do so.
7Question 7 of 14
What does this sign mean?
Not quite. The answer is Hitchhiking is prohibited.
In North America, a hand with the thumb raised indicates that the person wants to hitch a ride. A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign means that hitchhiking is prohibited on this section of roadway. Don't pick up hitchhikers here.
8Question 8 of 14
You drive up to an intersection and you see this sign. What should you do?
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.

10Question 10 of 14
Crosswalks can be present
Not quite. The answer is whether or not there are crosswalk lines.
Crosswalks can be either marked or unmarked. There may be an unmarked crosswalk connecting the corners on the opposite sides of the streets.
11Question 11 of 14
When entering a roundabout, rotary, or traffic circle, you must yield the right-of-way to
Not quite. The answer is both pedestrians and vehicles already in the circle.
Pedestrians and vehicles that are already in an intersection have the right-of-way. And a rotary or roundabout is a circular intersection. When entering a roundabout, rotary, or traffic circle, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles already in the circle. Note: In New York City, effective January 19, 2022, you must stop – not just yield – for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, and you must remain stopped until the pedestrian has crossed. This new rule applies to both controlled and uncontrolled intersections.
12Question 12 of 14
When you're in a roundabout, you should NOT
Not quite. The answer is stop before you're ready to exit.
In a roundabout, traffic circulates counterclockwise at a relatively slow but consistent speed. When driving in a roundabout, don't stop your vehicle.

This sign is
Not quite. The answer is a stop sign.
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 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.

Two cars arrive at an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one not controlled by signs or signals) at about the same time. Which of the following is true?
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.
