- At an uncontrolled "T" intersection, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way.
Lanes and Turns
- When turning left from a two-way road onto a one-way road, enter the lane nearest the left curb.
- A deceleration lane is designed for reducing speed when exiting a highway.
Reversing and Parking
- For reversing in a straight line, maintain both hands on the steering wheel and use mirrors for guidance.
- When parked uphill on a two-way road with a curb, front wheels should be turned to the left to prevent rolling into traffic.

Speed Limits and Traffic Lights
- School zone speed limits are effective on school days during specified hours.
- A flashing yellow traffic light warns drivers to proceed with caution.

Funeral Procession and Right-of-Way
