1. A broken yellow centerline means that:

Passing is not permitted.

Passing on the right is permitted when the way ahead is clear.

Passing on the left is permitted when the way ahead is clear.

A broken yellow centerline means that a driver may cross the centerline to pass another vehicle on the left as long as there is no oncoming traffic. Drivers should never cross a solid yellow centerline in order to pass.

Watch for people crossing your path.

No passing zone.

Work zone ahead.

This orange warning sign tells drivers that an area of roadwork is upcoming. When traveling through a work zone, stay alert for temporary traffic control devices.

3. If you want to make a three-point turnabout and there is traffic approaching, you should:

Begin the turnabout right away.

Flash your headlights and begin the turnabout.

Yield to oncoming traffic coming from all directions before performing the maneuver.

When you make a three-point turn, all approaching traffic has the right-of-way. Only perform a turnabout when it is safe to do so.

4. When sharing the road with a truck, it is important to remember that trucks generally:

Require longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

Require less time to pass on a downgrade than smaller vehicles do.

Require a smaller turning radius than smaller vehicles do.

Because of their size, trucks need longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

Always stop, whether there’s a stop sign or not.

Watch for children and be ready to stop.

Always sound your horn when you see children.

Be ready to help children crossing the street.

You must always yield to pedestrians who are in or about to enter a crosswalk. Be alert to pedestrians when driving across intersections or turning.

6. You must yield to a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog:

Only when the guide dog is leading the person across the street.

At all times.

Only if a crossing guard is present.

Pedestrians who use guide dogs or white canes (with or without a red tip) must be given the right-of-way at all times.

7. If another driver cuts you off in traffic, you should:

Pull next to the driver and yell at them.

Let it go.

Flash your high beams at the driver.

Get back at the other driver by cutting them off.

You should slow down when driving in rain and fog.

Be particularly aware of vehicles coming up behind you in inclement weather.
