Traffic Signs and Driving Rules Quiz 131-140

This sign indicates that the road ahead:

• Turns sharply right, then left.

• Curves right, then left.

• Curves right.

Answer explanation

The sign indicates a gentle curve to the right, which aligns with the correct answer 'Curves right.' The other options suggest sharper turns or additional curves that are not indicated by the sign.

There are two traffic lanes moving in your direction. You are driving in the left lane and many vehicles are passing you on the right. If the driver behind you wishes to drive faster, you should:

• Stay in your lane so you don't impede the flow of traffic.

• Drive onto the left shoulder to let the other vehicles pass.

• Move into the right lane when it is safe.

Answer explanation

Moving into the right lane when it is safe allows faster vehicles to pass without disrupting traffic flow. Staying in your lane or speeding up can impede others, while driving onto the shoulder is unsafe.

If you must park your vehicle in an area not usually used for parking:

• Park with your reverse lights on.

• Make sure your vehicle is visible to drivers approaching from any direction.

• Park five feet from the curb.

Answer explanation

The correct choice is to ensure your vehicle is visible to drivers approaching from any direction. This enhances safety and reduces the risk of accidents, especially in areas not typically used for parking.

If bad weather makes it difficult for you to see clearly, you should:

• Speed up to get off the road quickly.

• Drive in the lane closest to oncoming traffic.

• Increase your following distance.

Answer explanation

In bad weather, increasing your following distance is crucial for safety. It gives you more time to react to sudden stops or obstacles, reducing the risk of accidents.

When you see this yellow sign, you should:

• Always stop at the crosswalk.

• Stop at the crosswalk until a crossing guard signals for you to go.

• Be prepared to stop if children are in the crosswalk.

Answer explanation

The yellow sign indicates a pedestrian crossing. You should be prepared to stop if children are present, ensuring their safety. Always stopping or waiting for a guard is not necessary unless specified.

After you have passed a vehicle moving in the same direction, it is safe to move back into the right lane:

• After about three seconds.

• When you can no longer see the passed vehicle over your right shoulder.

• When you can see the entire front of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

Answer explanation

The correct choice is to move back into the right lane when you can see the entire front of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror. This ensures you have enough space and that the vehicle is safely behind you.

When driving at night, you should:

• Always use your high beams.

• Look directly at the headlights of an oncoming vehicle.

• Increase your following distance.

Answer explanation

Increasing your following distance at night is crucial for safety, as it gives you more time to react to obstacles and reduces the risk of collisions. High beams can blind other drivers, and staring at oncoming headlights is dangerous.

Regulatory signs are:

• Green

• Yellow

• White

• Blue

You are approaching a green traffic light and traffic is blocking the intersection. What is the best thing to do?

• Partially enter the intersection to establish your right-of-way.

• Don't enter the intersection until you can get completely across.

• Continue into the intersection and wait for traffic to clear.

Answer explanation

Entering the intersection while traffic is blocking it can lead to gridlock and potential accidents. The best practice is to wait until the intersection is clear, ensuring you can safely cross without stopping in the intersection.

To help others see you when daylight begins to fade, you should use your:

• Parking lights

• Low beam headlights

• Emergency flashers
