- At a STOP sign with a stop line, where must you stop?

- At the stop line
- An octagon sign means always make a full stop. Where there is a stop line, that is where you stop; then yield to pedestrians and approaching traffic. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- At a STOP sign with a crosswalk but no stop line, where do you stop?

- Before the crosswalk
- If there is no stop line, stop before entering the crosswalk. Stopping in the crosswalk blocks pedestrians who have the right of way. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- A STOP sign has no stop line and no crosswalk. Where do you stop?

- Before entering the intersection
- With no stop line or crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection, at a point where you can see cross traffic. Then yield to pedestrians and approaching traffic. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- After you stop at a STOP sign, who must you yield to?

- Pedestrians and approaching traffic
- A STOP sign means a full stop, then yield the right of way to pedestrians and to traffic approaching on the cross street before you go. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- A STOP sign has an ALL-WAY plaque under it. Who goes first?

- The first driver to stop
- ALL-WAY means every approach has a STOP sign and all traffic must stop. The first driver to stop is the first to go; the others wait their turn. You may also see 3-WAY or 5-WAY plaques. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- What must you do at a YIELD sign?

- Slow down and let others go first
- A YIELD sign means give the right of way to all vehicles and pedestrians. Slow to a safe speed and stop if necessary before you go. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- If you must stop at a YIELD sign, where do you stop?

- Before the crosswalk or intersection
- When yielding means you must stop, stop at a marked crosswalk or before entering the intersection, then go when it is safe. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- What does a DO NOT ENTER sign mean?

- You may not drive into that road
- DO NOT ENTER is posted on one-way streets and other roads you may not enter, such as an expressway ramp entered from the wrong end. (Rules of the Road, p. 65.)
- You see a WRONG WAY sign. What does it tell you?

- You are driving against traffic
- WRONG WAY means your vehicle is traveling the wrong direction. It is posted on expressway ramps a short way past the DO NOT ENTER sign, and at one-way streets, alleys and driveways. (Rules of the Road, p. 66.)
- What does a SPEED ZONE AHEAD sign tell you?

- Be ready to change your speed
- SPEED ZONE AHEAD warns that a different speed limit begins ahead, so be prepared to adjust your speed before you reach it. (Rules of the Road, p. 66.)
- A freeway sign shows a MINIMUM speed. Is driving slower than it legal?

- No, unless needed for safety
- Some freeway signs show both a maximum and a minimum speed. Driving slower than the minimum is illegal unless it is necessary for safety, such as in bad weather. (Rules of the Road, p. 66.)
- What does a red circle with a red slash through a picture mean?

- That action is not allowed
