9. Two solid white lines painted across a traffic lane show the boundaries of a crosswalk. As a driver, you should know that:

Motor vehicles have the right-of-way over pedestrians in crosswalks.

When pedestrians are in crosswalks, they should be given the right-of-way.

No one has the right-of-way in a crosswalk.

Pedestrians are responsible to stay out of the way of all traffic.

Should yield to drivers already on the interstate.

Has the right-of-way.

Regulatory signs provide notice to road users of traffic laws that must be obeyed. This particular sign tells you the maximum speed limit for the stretch of highway where it is posted. You may drive more slowly than the posted speed limit, based on road conditions, but it is illegal to drive any faster than the posted speed limit.

13. A broken yellow line beside a solid yellow line indicates that:

Passing is permitted from the lane next to the solid yellow line.

Passing is not permitted from either direction.

A broken yellow line alongside a solid yellow line means that traffic in the lane next to the broken line may cross the line to pass, while traffic in the lane next to the solid line may not.

14. Excessive speed:

Does not increase the chance of a crash.

Increases your ability to react to a hazard.

15. You are merging onto an interstate highway. You should:

Select a safe gap and merge into the lane of traffic.

Merge across two lanes at once.

Always stop before entering the highway.

Anytime you want to merge with other drivers, you need to find a gap large enough for you to safely enter into the flow of traffic. You should not stop on the entrance ramp to an interstate highway unless there are no gaps into which you may safely merge.

16. When may you proceed through an intersection that has a stop sign but no stop line or crosswalk?

After slowing down to verify that there is no cross traffic

After coming to a complete stop and verifying that it is safe to proceed

After you have stopped at least 20 feet prior to the intersection

After slowing down to a speed of 10 mph

Stop before the stop line or crosswalk at any intersection that is controlled by a stop sign. If there is a stop sign but no stop line or crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection and proceed when it is safe to do so.
