Study Notes
Emergency Vehicles
- Always leave a vacant lane next to a stopped emergency or maintenance vehicle with flashing lights.
- If it’s unsafe to move over, slow down and proceed with caution.
Speed Limits
- Adhere to both maximum and minimum speed limits; don’t drive slower than the minimum speed as it impedes traffic.
- Reduce speed in poor road conditions.
School Bus Regulations

School Zones
- Maximum speed limit near Illinois schools is 20 mph when children are present, typically between 7 AM and 4 PM on school days.
Following Distance
- Maintain at least a three-second following distance behind the vehicle in front; increase this gap in poor conditions.
