Texas DMV Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

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 white

Blind pedestrians may carry white canes or use the assistance of guide dogs. Under Texas law, you must take whatever actions are necessary to avoid injuring such a pedestrian, including stopping if necessary. [TX Transp § 552.010] stopping if necessary.

Not quite. The answer is blind.

Pedestrians using white canes or guide dogs are blind or visually impaired. Use extreme caution around such pedestrians. Under Texas law, you must take whatever actions are necessary to avoid injuring such a pedestrian, including stopping if necessary.

Not quite. The answer is on the right side of the island.

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic flows counterclockwise around a central island. In the roundabout, keep right of the central island.

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 the intersection is clear.

Not quite. The answer is The pedestrian

A vehicle must yield to pedestrians in a marked or unmarked crosswalk. And at an intersection without signs or signals, each vehicle 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 stop before the line

At an intersection, a single solid white line across the road is a stop line. You must stop before 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 vehicles coming from the right.

When approaching an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals), yield to vehicles coming from the right. However, always be prepared to yield rather than risk a conflict that could lead to an accident.

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 to its right. Here, 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, proceed with caution, and be prepared to stop when schoolchildren are around. Texas has no statewide speed limit for school zones, but local jurisdictions may set their own.

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 a counterclockwise

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which vehicles travel around a center 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 come to a complete stop.

When you encounter a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop, yield to pedestrians and approaching vehicles, and then proceed with caution. "Stop" means STOP, the complete cessation of movement. Drivers sometimes fail to come to a complete stop at stop signs; instead, they crawl forward at under 5 mph. This is commonly known as a "rolling stop" – and it's illegal in Texas. You can be cited for failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign. [TX Transp § 541.401],

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 the right lane.

In a multilane roundabout, do not pass any vehicle. Be prepared to yield to vehicles turning in front of you from the inside lane to exit the roundabout. If you intend to exit the roundabout less than halfway around it, use the right lane.

Not quite. The answer is right

A roundabout is an intersection control device with traffic circulating counterclockwise around a central island. Approaching vehicles must yield to the traffic in the circle. Always enter to the right of the central island.

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 vehicles 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.
