1. Temporary signs used in construction and maintenance work areas:

Have a red background with green writing.

Have an orange background with black writing.

Have a yellow background with blue writing.

All temporary signs in work zones have orange backgrounds with black writing and/or symbols.

2. When passing another car, you have enough space to return to the driving lane:

If the other driver signals for you to re-enter the lane.

If you look over your shoulder and see the passed car behind you.

If you can see both of the passed vehicle's headlights in your rearview mirror.

Before you return to the driving lane when completing a pass, be sure there is a safe gap between your vehicle and the passed vehicle. When you can see both headlights of the vehicle in your rearview mirror, it is safe to return to the driving lane.

3. You may legally block an intersection:

If you entered the intersection on the green light.

During rush hour traffic.

Under no circumstances.

Even if the light is green, you may not enter an intersection unless you can get completely across before the light turns red. If you block the intersection, you can be cited.

4. If you are getting tired while driving, you should:

Stop and either get rest or change drivers.

Drink something with caffeine.

Open a window.

To avoid the dangers of fatigued driving, take breaks every hour or so during a long trip. If possible, share driving responsibilities with another person so you can each sleep while the other person drives.

5. If you are driving on a highway next to a single broken white line marking:

You cannot cross the line to pass.

You may cross the line to pass and change lanes.

You may only cross the line to change lanes if you are in the left lane.

White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You may cross a dashed white line to pass or change lanes if it is safe to do so.

All traffic must turn right.

All traffic must go straight.

A side road intersects ahead.

Warning signs provide notice to road users of a situation that might not be readily apparent and are usually yellow with black markings. This warning sign tells drivers to be alert to an intersecting side road ahead.

7. You may pass a vehicle when:

You are on a hill or curve.

You are on a road with a solid line next to your lane.

You are on a road with a broken line next to your lane.

A single broken line indicates that drivers may cross from either lane to change lanes. Dashed yellow lines alongside solid yellow lines indicate that passing is permitted from the lane next to the broken line, but not from the lane next to the solid line. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so.

8. When changing lanes, you should never:

Look over your shoulder to check your blind spot.

Change lanes abruptly or spontaneously.

Check for other vehicles moving into the same lane.

When changing lanes, you must be sure that there are no vehicles in the space you want to enter. Check for other vehicles behind and to the side of your vehicle by checking your mirrors and blind spots. Always use the proper turn signal before changing lanes to allow surrounding vehicles time to react to your movements.
