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.

5. Where may drivers make a U-turn?

On a freeway

Near the top of a hill

In the middle of a curve

Where they will not disrupt traffic

A U-turn is a 180-degree turn that resembles the shape of the letter "U" and reverses your direction of travel. You may not make a U-turn unless you can do so safely and without disrupting other traffic.

6. To avoid being in a truck or bus driver’s blind spot, you should:

Never pass them.

Avoid driving alongside them and avoid tailgating.

Flash your lights at them.

Sound your horn.

Because a large vehicle, such as a truck or bus, has large blind spots to its sides and rear, avoid driving alongside such a vehicle and do not tailgate one.

7. If there is a deep puddle on the road ahead, you should:

Maintain the posted speed to make it through the water.

Avoid the puddle if possible.

Shift into neutral as you drive through the water.

To prevent skidding on slippery surfaces, avoid especially slippery areas, such as ice patches, wet leaves, oil, or deep puddles. The safest surface for driving is a dry, solid surface.

8. When in a travel lane on the roadway:

You may stop to drop off passengers.

You may stop to look up an address.

You may make a U-turn or back up if you get on the wrong entrance ramp of the freeway.

Don’t stop for any reason. Keep moving until you can safely pull off the road.

You should not stop in a travel lane for any reason. Instead, keep moving until you can safely pull off of the road. If you miss your turn or exit, do not back up. Go to the next turn or exit or where you can safely turn around.
