This sign indicates that a divided highway begins ahead.

Pedestrians walking along the road ahead.

You must yield the right-of-way to any emergency vehicle that is using its siren and flashing lights. Do this by driving to the right edge of the road and stopping, taking care not to stop in an intersection. You may move again after the emergency vehicle has passed.

5. You should signal continuously while turning because it:

Is illegal to turn off your signal before completing a turn.

Lets other drivers know what your intentions are.

You are one vehicle length ahead of the passed vehicle.

You can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror.

You are 50 feet ahead of the passed vehicle.

Do not pass unless you have enough space to return to the driving lane. Before you return to the driving lane, be sure you have enough room between yourself and the vehicle you have passed. When you can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror, it is safe to return to the driving lane.

7. Always signal when:

Changing lanes.

Pulling into or out of a parking space.

Pulling into traffic from a parking area or alley.

All of the above.

Your turn signals should always be used when you make any movement to the left or right. You should use your signal when pulling into traffic from a curbside parking space, moving into a new lane, or passing another vehicle.

8. When a stop is required at an intersection and no markings appear to indicate a stop line or crosswalk, a driver:

Is not required to stop.

Is required to slow down to make sure crossing traffic is clear.

Should stop only at a place where they can see at least 200 feet on either side, even if they have to enter the intersecting roadway.

Should stop where they have a clear view of approaching traffic before they enter the intersecting roadway.

If there is no stop line or crosswalk, you should stop at the point nearest to the intersecting roadway where you can get a view of approaching traffic. You should not enter the intersecting roadway to gain a better view.
