Unit 3 chapter 10 Flashcards
The chances of a collision is greatest at
an intersection.
Once in an intersection
you may not make any lane changes
When turning, your last check is
in the direction of you intended path of travel.
An intersection that has signals or signs to assign the right of way is called
a controlled intersection.
You allow others to go first when you
yield
A through street is created when STOP or YIELD signs are on
two corners of the intersecting street.
You intend to turn left at an intersection. Others will yield the right of way to you for a left turn only when your
left-turn arrow is green.
A light that has just turned green is
a fresh green light.
An intersection with a left-turn light, a green arrow, or a delayed green light has
a protected left turn
Turning right on red after stopping is permitted
unless a sign prohibits it.
You plan to cross and intersection, but your vision is blocked by parked vehicles, You should look
left, right and ahead as you creep forward
A controlled railroad crossing is identified by
flashing red lights and a crossing gate
Generally, uncontrolled intersections are found in
rural areas with highways
As you approach an uncontrolled intersection, you identify a pedestrian who has entered the intersection. You must
let the pedestrian go first
The sign for a railroad crossing is a
round, yellow sign
An uncontrolled railroad crossing usually has
a crossbuck and a round, yellow sign
When following a bus across a railroad crossing you should
be prepared for it to stop.
You have the right of way at an intersection
only when other drivers give it to you.
Traffic signs and signals show who
should yield the right of way.
you must yield the right of way
at traffic signs
Traffic is moving at 30 mph on a street you plan to cross. How large a gap in each direction should you have
About two-thirds of a block
Turning right and accelerating to 30 mph takes about
6 seconds
When you cross a through street from a STOP sign, you must judge the size of the
gaps in the traffic from each direction.
When turning right and joining traffic, the faster traffic is moving, the
larger the gap must be.
