The expressway is defined as a:

• high-speed privately owned highway.

• road designed for express transport.

• form of improved rural highway.

• limited-access or controlled-access highway.

When a side road forms a T intersection with an expressway, it is called a:

• cloverleaf interchange.

• trumpet interchange.

• diamond interchange.

• club interchange.

Which of the following highways have similar features?

• freeways, expressways, interstate highways

• freeways, U.S. routes, state highways

• interstate highways, county routes, U.S. routes

• U.S. routes, state routes, expressways

The area in an expressway entrance ramp where you increase speed to that of expressway traffic is the:

• deceleration lane.

• median lane.

• acceleration lane.

• entrance lane.

What colors are the WRONG WAY or DO NOT ENTER signs?

• red and white

• yellow and black

• white and black

• green and yellow

When is it permissible to back up on an entrance ramp or on an expressway?

• never

• when no police cars are visible

If there are signal lights on the entrance ramp, you can:

• treat the red light as an advisory traffic control.

• do not have to stop for the red light.

• must stop if any light is on.

• must wait for a green light.

If the acceleration lane is short, you will need:

• a longer gap to enter traffic.

• more clear space ahead of your car.

• a shorter gap to enter traffic.

• a gradual steering motion.

The main factors in determining your speed on an acceleration lane are:

• the amount and speed of traffic on the acceleration lane and expressway.

• weather conditions and traffic controls.

• following distance and traffic flow.

• roadway surface and pedestrian traffic.

If the entrance ramp enters the expressway from the left, you should realize a greater potential for conflict because you will be entering:

• after coming to a complete stop.

• the slowest lane on the expressway.

• from the right.

• a higher speed traffic lane.
