1. If you stop at a railroad crossing with more than one track:

Wait to proceed until you have a clear view of all tracks.

Stop on the first railroad track and watch for another train.

Go through as soon as the train passes.

Go through when one of the tracks is free.

If you are stopped at a railroad crossing with more than one track, do not start moving as soon as a train passes. Wait until you have a clear view down all tracks before you start across. Even where there is only one track, do not start across immediately after a train passes; check again for another train that may be approaching.

2. When approaching a working snowplow:

React the same as you would to any other motor vehicle.

Assume they will allow you to have the right-of-way.

Yield the right-of-way and exercise caution.

Come to a complete stop until they are out of your line of sight.

Yield the right-of-way to snowplows engaged in work on the roads. Use extra caution in approaching, overtaking, or passing maintenance vehicles and snowplows. Because of their traveling speed and size, snowplows tend to create large clouds of blowing snow that conceal the plow, making it invisible.

Honk at incoming traffic.

Always remain at your present speed.

Speed up to avoid congesting traffic.

Move to another lane, if safe, to let traffic enter.

When on a roadway with two or more lanes, you should make room for entering vehicles. If there is no one driving next to you, move over one lane.

4. You must not drive your vehicle at a speed greater than:

The maximum speed limit.

A speed that is faster than is reasonable and prudent.

A speed that is safe for existing conditions.

All of the above.

You must not drive at a speed that is faster than is reasonable and prudent. You must drive at a speed that is appropriate for the area where you are driving, the type and condition of surrounding traffic, the presence of pedestrians, the weather, the quality of the road, and light conditions. You must drive within legal speed limits.

5. A diamond-shaped sign is a:

Road hazard sign.

Interstate route sign.

School crossing sign.

Speed limit sign.

Warning signs are normally diamond-shaped and yellow, although orange warning signs are used in work areas. Such signs warn that you are approaching a hazardous location or an area where special rules apply.

That the speed limit is 20 mph.

The beginning of a reduced speed zone.

The increased possibility of encountering pedestrians.
