    Study Notes

    Lane Changes and Road Markings

    • A single broken white line allows crossing to change lanes.

    • A specific sign demands vehicles in the left lane to turn left at an upcoming intersection.
    • Vehicles must stop behind a school bus until the stop arm is retracted, ensuring student safety.

    Vehicle Awareness and Safety

    • Drivers must watch for wildlife crossing when they see associated road signs.

    Driver Behavior and Alcohol

    • Yellow arrows signal that the light will soon turn red, specifically relating to movement in the arrow's direction.

    Driving Conditions and Actions

    • In fog, high beams should not be used due to light reflection, which can impair visibility.
    • When backing out of a driveway, drivers should exit and check for children to ensure safety, rather than relying solely on mirrors.
