Rhode Island DMV Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is A stop sign

This is, of course, a stop sign. 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 white

Blind pedestrians may carry white canes or use the assistance of guide dogs. Blind pedestrians have the absolute right-of-way.

Not quite. The answer is Traffic may flow on both sides.

This sign marks a traffic island or other obstruction. You must drive on either side of it.

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.

Not quite. The answer is a counterclockwise direction.

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic travels around the central island in a counterclockwise direction.

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

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island. Approaching vehicles must yield the right-of-way to the traffic already in the roundabout. Always enter the roundabout, heading to the right (counterclockwise around the central island).

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 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 Do both (a) and (b).

At a stop sign, you must stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, whichever you arrive at first. You should stop for at least three seconds so you can look left and right. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is on your right.

If other vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., an intersection without signs or signals) at the same time as you do, you must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.

Not quite. The answer is in a counterclockwise direction.

In a roundabout, traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island. Whenever you enter or exit a roundabout, head toward the right.

Not quite. The answer is You should always be prepared to yield the right-of-way.

The right-of-way is to be given, not taken. The law grants the right-of-way, but the other driver may not. In such cases, yield to the other driver rather than risk a conflict that might lead to an accident.

Not quite. The answer is Sound a warning with your horn.

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 sound your horn, you must stop for the pedestrian.

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 yield to traffic.

The only octagonal (eight-sided) traffic signs are stop signs. 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. You should stop for at least three seconds so you can look left and right. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when it is safe to do so. [Stopping, F. Stopping and Parking, III.
