Ohio BMV Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

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 Traffic may flow on both sides.

This sign warns of a traffic island or other obstacle ahead. You may pass it on either side.

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 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.

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.

Not quite. The answer is Pedestrians may enter the crosswalk.

Pedestrian signals are only for controlling pedestrian traffic. This signal showing a person walking tells pedestrians that they may enter the crosswalk to cross the roadway. (Older signals had the word "WALK" illuminated instead.) A signal showing an upraised hand tells pedestrians that they may not enter the crosswalk. (Older signals had the words "DONT WALK" illuminated instead.)

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 (i.e., one without signs or signals) at about the same time, the car on the left must yield. When this rule doesn’t apply, then the car turning left must yield. In this situation, Car A must yield.

Not quite. The answer is A school zone ahead

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. In Ohio, the speed limit in a school zone is 20 mph during school recess and when schoolchildren are going to or leaving school.

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

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.

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.

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 The vehicle on the terminating road

When several vehicles arrive at a T-intersection without signs or signals, the vehicles on the terminating road must yield to vehicles on the through road.

Not quite. The answer is a counterclockwise direction.

A roundabout is an intersection where traffic travels around the central island in a counter-clockwise direction.

Not quite. The answer is Come to a complete stop and yield to traffic before proceeding.

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.

Not quite. The answer is yield to vehicles on the right.

At an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals), you must yield to vehicles on the right that arrive at about the same time as you do.

Not quite. The answer is B, C, A

A vehicle on the terminating road of a T-intersection must yield to all traffic on the through (main) road. Here, Car A must yield to Cars B and C. And Car C must yield to oncoming traffic because it is turning left at an intersection. Here, Car C must yield to Car B. Therefore, Car B can go first, followed by Car C and then by Car A.

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 within intersections or crosswalks. Under Ohio law, when a pedestrian is in a marked or an unmarked crosswalk, you must stop and wait until the pedestrian has passed your half of the roadway.

Not quite. The answer is blind.

Pedestrians using white canes or guide dogs are blind or sight impaired. Use extreme caution around such pedestrians.
