Section 3 Review

You are approaching an intersection with a traffic signal indicating a steady yellow light. If you have not already entered the intersection, you should:

• a) speed up to beat the red light

• b) reduce you speed and proceed carefully through the intersection

• c) come to a safe stop

At a red traffic light with a green arrow, you may proceed in the direction of the arrow if:

• a) you make a complete stop first

• b) you wait until the light changes

• c) you are in the proper lane and the roadway is clear

When approaching an intersection with a flashing yellow arrow, if in the proper lane:

• a) proceed in the direction of the arrow after making a complete stop

• b) proceed in the direction of the arrow after yielding to approaching traffic and/or pedestrians

• c) proceed in the direction of the arrow while maintaining normal speed; you have the right of way

• d) come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the light turns green

It is legal to make a left turn at a red traffic light after stopping if:

• a) you are traveling on a two-way street and turning onto a two-way street

• b) you are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street

• c) you yield to all other traffic at the intersection

At many intersections, under certain conditions, a right turn may be made while the traffic light is red. Before turning right:

• a) slow down and proceed without stopping if the way is clear

• b) come to a complete stop, look both ways and yield the right of way to pedestrians and other traffic

• c) maintain normal speed because you have the right of way

Turning left at a red light is never permitted

• a) True

• b) False

When approaching an intersection with a flashing red light:

• a) You must come to a complete stop, yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, then proceed

• b) reduce your speed, and proceed with caution

• c) you must come to a complete stop and remain stopped as long as the light is red

If a traffic signal is not operational (dark) because of a power failure and there is no officer or other traffic control in place, what should you do?

• a) Treat the intersection as though it had yield signs

• b) Treat the intersection as an all-way stop

• c) Drivers on major streets have the right-of-way

• d) Continue at your current rate of speed

When turning left at an intersection with this sign:

• a) you can continue, as long as you yield to others

• b) come to a full legal stop, then continue when it is safe

• c) come to a full legal stop and remain stopped while the arrow is red

A steady yellow signal light is a warning that the light is about to change to red. If you are already in the intersection, you should:

• a) stop

• b) continue moving and clear the intersection safely

• c) increase your speed so as not to cause an accident
