Signs, Signals, and Pavement Markings Flashcards
What does a STOP sign mean?
You must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection ahead.
What does a YIELD sign mean?
Yield right-of-way. You must slow down and yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians in the intersection you are crossing or roadway you are entering. (Stop if necessary to safely yield.)
What should you do when you approach an intersection and the traffic light changes from green to yellow?
Means caution. An amber or yellow light warns that the signal is about to change to red. If you have not entered intersection and can come to a safe stop, you should do so. If you are already in the intersection, you should continue moving and clear it safely.
How may you proceed at an intersection that has a green arrow in combination with a red light?
You may pass through the intersection in the direction the arrow is pointing. Oncoming traffic is required to stop.
What does a flashing red light mean?
Stop. You must come to a complete stop, yield to cross traffic or pedestrians, and then proceed when the way is clear.
What does a flashing yellow light mean?
Caution. You should slow down, look carefully for hazards and proceed with caution.
Is it legal to pass on a two-lane, two-way road when you have a solid yellow line on your side?
No.
