One-way road.

No right turn.

Exit.

Sharp right turn in the road ahead.

This sign indicates that there is a sharp right turn ahead.

You may only drive straight ahead.

You may drive only in the direction of the green arrow.

You must wait for a solid green light to proceed in any direction.

Vehicles moving in any direction must stop.

If a green arrow is shown with a red light, you can only drive in the direction of the arrow and only if the intersection is clear.

4. Which of the following are used on some highways to direct drivers into the proper lanes for turning?

Flashing red lights

Flashing yellow lights

Arrows may be used to indicate which lanes should be used for specific purposes, such as driving straight or making a turn.

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.

6. When approaching a traffic signal displaying a steady green arrow, drivers:

Should merge into a lane in the direction of the arrow.

Should slow to a stop, if it is safe to do so.

May turn in the direction of the arrow after yielding to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.

May drive straight through the intersection.

A green arrow displayed on a traffic signal tells drivers that they may turn in the direction of the arrow. You must be in the proper lane for such a turn. Yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection.

7. Construction zone signs are generally:

Square or rectangular with white and red coloring.

Round or octagonal with black and yellow coloring.

Diamond-shaped or rectangular with orange and black coloring.

All temporary signs in work zones have an orange background with black letters or symbols. These signs are found on the right side of the road, or on both the left and right sides if the roadway is a divided highway.

8. Use your headlights on rainy, snowy, or foggy days:

To keep your engine warm.

So others can see your vehicle.

To warn others of bad weather conditions.

On rainy, snowy, or foggy days, it may be difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle. Under these conditions, headlights make your vehicle easier to see. If the weather requires you to turn on your windshield wipers, you must also turn on your low beam headlights.
