1. A steady green light at an intersection means that you:

Must slow down and prepare to stop.

Must stop and check for oncoming traffic before proceeding.

May drive through the intersection if the road is clear.

May not turn right.

A steady green light means you may drive through the intersection if the road is clear. You may also turn right or left on a steady green light unless a sign prohibits the turn. When turning, you must yield to other vehicles and pedestrians within the intersection.

2. The best way to deal with tailgaters is to:

Speed up to increase the distance between you and the tailgater.

Slam on your brakes to get the other driver to back off.

Change lanes or gradually slow down to encourage them to pass.

Ignore them.

Check the traffic behind you several times a minute to know if another driver is tailgating, approaching too fast, or trying to pass. If another car is following you too closely, slow down and let it pass. Most rear-end collisions are caused by vehicles following too closely.

Warns you about conditions on or near the road.

Helps direct you to cities and towns ahead.

Tells you about traffic laws and regulations.

Tells you about road construction ahead.

Warning signs, which tell you about conditions on or near the road ahead, are usually diamond-shaped with black symbols or words on a yellow background.

Side road.

Low clearance.

Merging traffic.

Prepare to stop.

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign tells drivers to be aware of potential traffic entering from an upcoming side road.

5. When approaching a railroad crossing warning sign:

Be ready to drive faster than the train.

Be prepared to stop if a train is nearby.

Look for a way around any lowered gates.

Assume no trains are nearby and continue driving normally.

Railroad crossing warning signs are used to warn drivers of the possibility of a train. Drivers should obey all railroad crossing warning signs and never go around barriers or disregard the warning sign.

6. When approaching a steady red traffic light, drivers should:

Drive through the intersection if there is no crossing traffic.

Continue driving, as they have the right-of-way.

Stop only if a police officer is nearby.

Come to a complete stop.

A steady red traffic light indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop. Driving through a red light is against the law and is extremely dangerous. Drivers may turn right on a steady red light if there is no sign prohibiting a turn on red.
