Vermont DMV Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is Controlled, uncontrolled, and blind

An intersection is a road junction where two or more roads cross or merge at the same level. There are controlled, uncontrolled, and blind intersections. An interchange is a road junction where two or more roads cross over one another (i.e., at different levels) so as not to impede one another's traffic flow. There are diamond, cloverleaf, and stack interchanges, among others.

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 a counterclockwise direction.

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates 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 both pedestrians and vehicles already in the circle.

Pedestrians and vehicles that are already in an intersection have the right-of-way. And a roundabout is a circular intersection. When entering a roundabout, traffic circle, or rotary, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles already in the circle.

Not quite. The answer is A school zone ahead

This sign indicates that a school zone is ahead. Schoolchildren may be crossing the road ahead, so slow down and proceed with caution when schoolchildren are around.

Not quite. The answer is The left side, as far away from the edge of the road as possible

If there are no sidewalks, pedestrians should walk as far as possible to the left side of the road facing traffic.

Not quite. The answer is A school zone ahead

This sign indicates that a school zone is ahead. Schoolchildren may be crossing the road ahead, so slow down and proceed with caution when schoolchildren are around.

Not quite. The answer is stop before the line

A single solid white line across the road at an intersection 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 all of the above.

If there are no traffic control signals, you must slow down or stop for pedestrians within an intersection or a marked or unmarked crosswalk. When making a left or right turn at any intersection, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.

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

This is a stop sign, the only type of sign that has eight sides. 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 intersecting road, whichever you encounter 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 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 B, C, A

A vehicle on the terminating (ending) 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.

Not quite. The answer is You may proceed if the intersection is clear.

A green light means that you may proceed into the intersection after you yield to pedestrians and vehicles that are already in the intersection.

Not quite. The answer is yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian.

Under Vermont law, if there is no working traffic control signal, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within a marked or unmarked crosswalk.

Not quite. The answer is yield the right-of-way to the pedestrians.

You must yield the right-of-way to lawfully crossing pedestrians within any crosswalk, whether marked or unmarked.

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

When approaching an intersection without traffic signs or signals, you must yield to vehicles on the right.

Not quite. The answer is on the right

If two vehicles arrive at 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 right

A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates 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 4

If you are convicted of failing to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, four points will be added to your driving record.
