    Study Notes

    Railroad Crossing Safety

    Traffic Signs and Signals

    • A sign indicating "stop ahead" alerts drivers to prepare to stop.
    • Yellow line configuration: A solid yellow line next to a broken yellow line means vehicles next to the broken line may pass.
    • A sign showing lane reduction warns drivers to prepare for a narrowing roadway.

    Parking Regulations

    • When parking parallel to the curb on a level street, ensure that wheels are within 18 inches of the curb.
    • For uphill parking on a two-way street without a curb, front wheels must be turned away from the street.

    Driving Conduct and Legality

    • It is illegal to listen to music through headphones that cover both ears while driving.
    • When merging onto the freeway, maintain a speed at or near that of the existing traffic for safe integration.

    Safe Driving Practices

    • Slow down or stop, as necessary, before making a right turn.
    • During heavy dust storms that reduce visibility, drive slower and turn on headlights for better recognition by other drivers.

    School Bus Regulations

    • A school bus with flashing red lights requires drivers to stop until the lights turn off.

    Intersection Rules

    • It is illegal to block an intersection under any circumstance.
    • Always stop before crossing railroad tracks if you cannot fully clear them on the other side.

    Speed Limits

    • Unless otherwise specified, the speed limit in residential areas is 25 MPH.

    General Awareness

    • Slip conditions are most critical during the first rain after a dry spell due to oil accumulation on the road.
    • When driving behind a large truck, maintain a greater distance than you would behind a passenger vehicle for better visibility and safety.
