1. This sign indicates:

The distance from road surface to a bridge or overpass.

The maximum legal height of a vehicle allowed in this state.

The maximum width of a vehicle allowed on the highway.

This is a low clearance warning sign. It indicates the distance from the road surface to the bottom of a bridge or overpass (in this case, 12 feet, 6 inches).

2. A blood alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent:

Won't have any effect on your driving.

Won't put other drivers at risk.

Will double your chances of having an accident.

Every 0.02 percent increase in blood alcohol concentration nearly doubles a driver's risk of being in a fatal crash.

Falling rocks

Trucks use second gear

Steep hill

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. This sign indicates that you are approaching a steep hill. Slow down and be ready to shift to a lower gear to control your speed and protect your brakes from damage.

Slippery when wet.

Tow-away zone.

Steep downgrade.

Roadwork ahead.

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign tells drivers to be cautious when driving under conditions that may cause the roadway to become wet and slippery.

5. When approaching a stop sign that is not marked by a crosswalk, drivers should stop their vehicles before entering the intersection.

True

False

At a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop at the stop line, if there is one. If there is no stop line, you must make a complete stop before entering the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, you must stop before entering the intersection.

6. "No passing zone" signs tell drivers:

To speed up slightly.

That it is not safe to pass.

To maintain a steady speed.

If you come across a "No passing zone" sign, it is not legal to pass in the indicated area. You are likely driving in an area with restricted visibility where it would be unsafe to pass another vehicle.

Bicycle crossing.

Stop only if other cars are approaching.

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.

Warning signs are usually yellow with black markings. These signs alert drivers to areas where bicycles may be crossing.

8. Children on bicycles should be given extra space by motor vehicle operators because:

They do not have the same physical reflexes as adults.

They are smaller and more difficult to see than adults.

Both of the above.

Children are often the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult pedestrians to see. Take extra care to look out for children, especially near schools, bus stops, playgrounds, parks, and ice cream trucks. Be aware of children riding bikes on the sidewalk, as they may come onto the road unexpectedly.
