Driving

Yellow light

your right of-way is ending. If you are approaching the intersection and are too close to stop safely, you may complete your movement after yielding the right of-way

Lanes

Do not weave in and out of lanes. On the highway, slower vehicles should use the right lane and the left-hand lane should be used for faster moving or passing vehicles

Red flashing lights

A red flashing light at an intersection is equivalent to a stop sign and means that you must come to a complete stop. If there is a red flashing light at an intersection at which cross traffic is not required to stop, you may proceed only when the intersection is clear and when you will not interfere with the right of way of cross traffic. If there is a red flashing light at an intersection at which all traffic is required to stop, you may proceed only after you have stopped and yielded the right of way to any vehicle that is already in the intersection, any vehicle that stopped before you and is entering the intersection and any vehicle that arrived at the same time as you and is to your right.

Yellow flashing lights

A yellow flashing light without an arrow at an intersection means that you should slow down and use caution. If turning left, you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. All traffic on the cross street is required to yield the right of way to you. However, you should watch for other vehicles or pedestrians attempting to cross the intersection.

Turning through a solid red light

If there is a red light without an arrow, your right of way has ended. If you are in the middle of the intersection, you may turn once oncoming traffic has stopped. If there is a red light, you may not enter the intersection until the light facing you turns green and the intersection is clear. To turn right through an intersection with a red light, when permissible, you must come to a full stop, check to make sure that there are no vehicles an pedestrians in the path of your turn or about to enter the path of your turn, check that there is not a 'No Turn on Red" sign and use the correct lane. You may turn left through an intersection with a red light if you are turning from a one-way street onto a one-way street. You must also come to a full stop, check to make sure that there are no vehicles and pedestrians in the path of your turn or about to enter the path of your turn, and use the correct lanes.

Changing lanes

One at a time. Changing lanes to prepare for a turn, you must signal you intention to do so at least 200 feet prior to changing lanes or turning. In a speed zone of 50 mph it is 300 feet prior. Make sure there is no traffic ahead of you in the lane that you would like to enter, check mirrors, briefly turn your head to check blind spots and that there is enough room, use turn signal, move smoothly into new lane.

Pedestrian signals

alert pedestrians when they may safely cross

Approaching an intersection with NO sign or signal

before entering a street from an alley or driveway, you should stop and yield the right of way to other vehicles

Green light

go; you have the right of-way and may drive through an intersection as long as the intersection is clear of other vehicles and pedestrians

Turning through an intersection

if there is a green arrow displayed with a red or green light, you have the right of-way and may turn through an intersection, as long as its clear. If there is a green light displayed without an arrow, you may turn through an intersection as long as its clear. You must yield the right of way to all oncoming traffic. Only one vehicle at a time may move into an intersection to turn left.

Approaching a yield sign

indicates that a driver must slow down when approaching intersection and be prepared to come to comply stop if vehicle or pedestrian with right of way is approaching from another direction. If you are approaching a yield sign, a vehicle approaching from another direction with the right of way should not have to brake to avoid a collision with you.

Yellow flashing arrows for turning movements

means that you may proceed with the turn only after you have yielded the right of way to pedestrians and oncoming traffic. If there is a steady yellow light or arrow, your right of way is ending. If there is a yellow light displayed without an arrow, your right of way is ending.

White lane markings

separate multiple lanes of traffic going in the same direction. You may cross a broken white line when it is sage to change lanes, but you should not cross a solid white line.

Yellow lane markings

separates multiple lanes of traffic going in opposite directions. You may cross a broken yellow line to pass another vehicle when it is safe, but you should not cross a solid yellow line except to turn.q

Approaching a red light or stop sign

stop at solid white stop line; if no stop line, come to a complete stop perpendicular to the sign or before entering the crosswalk on your side of the intersection; if no crosswalk, come to a complete stop before entering intersection *An operator approaching an intersection controlled by a traffic signal may proceed through a steady red light IF the operator comes to a complete stop for at least 120 seconds and exercises due caution (does not apply to auto-cycles)

Approaching an intersection with non-operating signal

stop before entering intersection. After stopping, yield the right of way to cross traffic and then proceed with caution

Red light

stop; traffic entering an intersection from other directions has the right of-way. You may not enter the intersection until the light is green and the intersection is clear
