1. If you approach a flashing red traffic light, you:

Are traveling in the wrong direction.

Must treat the intersection as if it is controlled by a stop sign.

May not proceed until it changes to green.

Treat a flashing red light the same as a stop sign. Come to a complete stop at the stop line or, if there is no stop line, prior to the crosswalk and before entering the intersection. Yield to all other traffic and pedestrians.

Intersection ahead.

Merging traffic.

Steep hill 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 sign warns drivers of an upcoming steep hill. Drivers should adjust their speed accordingly to avoid collisions and brake damage.

3. When changing lanes:

Check your side mirror and look over your shoulder to make sure the lane is clear.

Check the inside rearview mirror.

Slow down.

Before changing lanes, you should check your side mirrors and look over your shoulder to make sure it is safe to proceed.

4. If you park facing uphill where there is no curb, set the parking brake and:

Turn your wheels toward the edge of the road.

Turn your wheels away from the edge of the road.

Keep your wheels facing straight.

When parking uphill on a road that does not have a curb, your front wheels should be turned to the right (toward the edge of the road). This will ensure that the vehicle will roll off of the road if the brakes fail.

5. Before you enter an intersection, you should look to your:

Left, your right, then your left again.

Right.

Left.

Before you enter an intersection, look to both the left and right for approaching vehicles or crossing pedestrians. Look to your left a second time, as vehicle approaching from your left will be closer than those approaching from your right. Look across the intersection before you start to move to make sure the path is clear all the way through.

6. If you want to pass a pedestrian who is walking along the roadway and an oncoming vehicle is approaching, you should:

Slow down and let the oncoming vehicle pass before you pass the pedestrian.

Keep driving at a steady speed. The oncoming vehicle must stop for you.

Honk your horn to get the pedestrian to move over.

If possible, try to only deal with one roadway hazard at a time. If you want to pass a pedestrian but an oncoming vehicle is approaching, slow down and let the vehicle pass. You may then pass the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.

Slippery when wet.

Stop sign ahead.

No U-turn.

All roads are slippery and dangerous when wet. This sign warns of conditions that can cause a driver to lose control of a car. A driver should slow down when coming upon wet pavement because it takes longer to stop.

8. If a road is slippery, maintain a following distance that is:

No different than normal.

Farther from the car ahead than normal.

Closer to the car ahead than normal.

You need a longer distance to stop your vehicle on a slippery road than you do on a dry road. Maintain an increased following distance when driving on slippery roads.
