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, crosswalk, or intersection, whichever you arrive at first. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

8Question 8 of 15
Which of the following is true about the right of way?
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.

9Question 9 of 15
When you come to an intersection, follow the _________ before you proceed.
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.
10Question 10 of 15
You are driving through an intersection with a green signal. A pedestrian starts to cross your path against a red signal. What should you do FIRST?
Not quite. The answer is Sound a warning with your horn.
Under North Dakota law, pedestrians have the right of way only if they obey the rules of the road. If you have a green light and a pedestrian is violating the rules of the road by crossing against a red light, warn the pedestrian by sounding your horn. Of course, you must do everything possible to avoid hitting the pedestrian. If the pedestrian still doesn't stop even after you've sounded your horn, you must stop for the pedestrian. [ND Cen. Code § 39-10-04],

Which car is NOT using this roundabout correctly?
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 (or make a U-turn) 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.
