Study Notes
Regulatory Signs
- Regulatory signs control traffic movement and are crucial for safe driving.
- Most regulatory signs are shaped like vertical rectangles.
Right of Way
- At intersections, if two vehicles reach their stop signs simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield to the one on the right.
Yield Signs
- Approaching a yield sign requires checking for oncoming traffic to ensure safety.
Railroad Crossings
- Multilane roadways featuring railroad crossings are marked with crossbuck signs in addition to flashing red lights and signal bells.
Pedestrian & School Zones
- Pedestrian and school-zone signs necessitate a reduction in speed to protect vulnerable road users.
Shared Left-Turn Lanes
- Shared left-turn lanes allow vehicles from both directions to enter and make left turns safely.
Rules Against Passing
- Passing another vehicle is prohibited when two solid yellow lines are present or at stop signs/red lights.
Lane Markings
- Double-dashed lines indicate that passing is not allowed, maintaining safe road conditions.
- Solid white lines between lanes of the same direction promote lane discipline.
- A solid white line warns drivers against passing other vehicles.
Traffic Signals
- Traffic signals are commonly placed at intersections due to elevated accident risks.
- A flashing red traffic signal requires a complete stop, while a flashing yellow advises caution and readiness to yield.
Officer Direction
- When a traffic officer is directing vehicles, their commands supersede all other signals and signs.
Lane-Use Lights
- Lane-use lights indicate the designated lane to be used at specific times, enhancing traffic flow and safety.
Road Curvatures
- Signs with chevrons pointing left signal that the road curves to the left, alerting drivers to adjust accordingly.
Signal Changes
- A traffic signal changing from green to yellow alerts drivers to slow down in preparation to stop.
Safe Use of Shared Left-Turn Lanes
- Proper usage of shared left-turn lanes involves waiting to enter until the traffic is safe, monitoring other vehicles, and only utilizing the lane for left turns.
