1. You exit the freeway on a ramp that curves downhill. You should:

Slow to a safe speed before the curve.

Slow to the posted speed limit for the freeway.

Wait until you have entered the curve to begin braking.

You should always slow down before entering a curve. You may not be able to see hazards ahead and braking in a curve may cause your vehicle to skid.

2. When parking your vehicle on any hill:

One of your rear wheels should touch the curb.

Use your parking brake and leave the vehicle in "park."

Your front wheels should be parallel to the road, if there is no curb.

When parking on a hill, you should always leave your vehicle in gear or in the "park" position. If there is no curb, you should turn your front wheels so that the vehicle will roll away from the center of the road if the brakes fail. If there is a curb, the front wheels should be turned toward it (if headed downhill) or away from and gently touching it (if headed uphill).

3. You see pedestrians near the road. You should:

Sound your horn and maintain your speed.

Speed up to clear the area quickly.

Slow down and pass with caution.

Watch for any pedestrian who may cross your path. If you see pedestrians near the road where you are driving, slow down and be prepared to stop, if necessary.

4. You must stop at the intersection ahead. Just before the intersection, you have to cross railroad tracks. You should stop before crossing the railroad tracks when:

There isn't room on the other side for you to completely cross the tracks.

The crossing is located in a city or town with frequent train traffic.

You are transporting two or more children in a passenger vehicle.

If you need to stop after crossing railroad tracks, wait until you can completely cross the tracks before proceeding. Make sure your vehicle clears the tracks before you stop.

5. If you parallel park facing downward on a hill:

Turn your wheels sharply toward the side of the road.

Turn your wheels away from the side of the road.

Keep your wheels straight.

When parking downhill, turn your front wheels toward the curb or edge of the road. When parking uphill on a road without a curb, turn your wheels toward the edge of the road. When parking uphill on a road with a curb, you must turn your front wheels away from the curb.

6. If you want to enter the freeway but you don't see a gap in traffic, you should:

Maintain your speed and force the other drivers to create a gap.

Slow down on the ramp to wait for a gap.

Stop at the end of the ramp to wait for a gap.

If you want to enter the freeway but do not see a space for your vehicle in traffic, slow down on the ramp to wait for a gap. Do not drive to the end of the ramp and wait for a gap or you will not have enough room to accelerate to the speed of traffic before entering the roadway.
