West Virginia DMV Permit: Right-of-Way Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is Both pedestrians

Crosswalks may be marked or unmarked. Under West Virginia law, an unmarked crosswalk joins the ends of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the street. Here, Pedestrian A is in a marked crosswalk, and Pedestrian B is in an unmarked crosswalk. You must always yield to any pedestrian who is crossing in a marked or unmarked crosswalk on your side of the road.

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 in a counterclockwise direction.

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

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 white

Blind pedestrians may carry white canes or use the assistance of guide dogs. Under West Virginia law, you must do whatever is necessary to avoid injuring a blind pedestrian. In practice, this means that if a blind pedestrian is about to cross the road in front of you, you must yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian, stopping if necessary.

Not quite. The answer is Continue to your exit, pull over to the right, and let the emergency vehicle pass.

Don't block a roundabout or any other type of intersection, even if an emergency vehicle is approaching. If an emergency vehicle with flashing lights or sounding a siren approaches while you are driving in a roundabout, continue to your exit, then pull over and let the emergency vehicle pass.

Not quite. The answer is You are not allowed to enter this roadway.

This is a Do Not Enter sign. It indicates that you cannot enter the roadway at which the sign is posted. You will see such signs at roadway openings you are not to enter or where you would be driving the wrong way on a one-way roadway. You will see them at exit ramps, in crossovers on divided roadways, and at numerous locations on one-way roads.

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

This is 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 encounter first. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

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 stop and wait until the pedestrian has passed.

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing at intersections and crosswalks. Under West Virginia law, when a pedestrian is in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, you are required to stop and wait until the pedestrian has passed your half of the roadway.

Not quite. The answer is one vehicle length.

When stopped behind another vehicle on a hill, you should stay back about one vehicle length. If you are too close to the vehicle, it may roll back into your vehicle when it starts.

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 You must come to a complete stop.

When you encounter a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, whichever you encounter first. 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" – but it's actually illegal.
