do not park within

1. 10 feet of a fire hydrant 2. 25 feet of a crosswalk 3. 50 feet of a stop sign

Be prepared to yield the right of way to the following

1. Emergency vehicles 2. Buses 3. Postal vehicles 5. Motorized/mobility (TEACHER WROTE)

a driver must stop

1. at least 15 feet before a railroad crossing when the lights are flashing 2. at least 25 feet from a stopped school bus

Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit for school, business or residential areas

25 mph

Non-posted rural roadways

50 mph

Certain highways (as posted) and Interstates

55 mph

Certain interstate highways (as posted)

65 mph

When approaching an uncontrolled intersection, one must

be ready to stop or slow down if traffic is approaching in either direction. The vehicle on the left must yield to vehicle on the right

left turns should be made from a position as close as possible to the

center line and the turn should occur before reaching the center of the intersection

right hand turns should be made

close to the right hand curb never in the wrong lane

how is a controlled intersection different than an uncontrolled intersection

controlled have traffic signals or signs and UNCONTROLLED intersection has no regulatory device

If speeding at least 10 MPH over the speed limit in a 65 MPH zone, the penalty is

double fines (meaning a typical $100 ticket is doubled to $200)

A common contributor to fatal and other accidents

exceeding the speed limit

what is the purpose of the deceleration lane?

extra lanes on the highway to slow down, exit highway on the off ramp

If the driver misses an exit on a highway he or she should

go to the next exit

When both center lines are solid

no passing allowed

always pass

on the left; like the black car

when are bright lights used?

open country driving

when both center lines are broken

passing allowed on both sides

when one center line is broken

passing is allowed only on the side with the broken line

If you are unable to change lanes or pull over to the shoulder to make way for emergency vehicles

reduce speed to allow the emergency vehicle to pass (if there was no lane to move into)

passing on the right is allowed only on roads with more than one lane going in the same direction, or, if two or more lanes of continuous traffic going, or, when a driver in the left lane is making a left turn; as long as there is

room to pass (on the right). You may never drive on the shoulder

The best way to enter a curve is to slow down because the car

tends to go straight

a driver can make a right turn on red if there is no sign that prohibits this action, as long as

the vehicle comes to a complete stop and yields to traffic

the intersection of Seminary and Campgaw Road is uncontrolled or controlled?

think about it and let me know

What is the purpose of the acceleration lane?

to speed up to gain the flow of traffic

At intersections with traffic lights, when a yellow light follows a green, a motorist must stop before entering the intersection

unless yellow appears when the vehicle is too close to stop safely

you should pull over to the shoulder

when an emergency vehicle approaches with its lights flashing in order to yield the right of way
