    Study Notes

    Road Signs

    • Black and White Signs: Indicate regulatory rules or routes.
    • Pink Signs: Used at emergency scenes to alert drivers.
    • Yellow Signs: Warnings for potential hazards ahead.
    • Orange Signs: Indicate work zones, alerting drivers to slow down and be cautious.
    • Blue Signs: Provide information about services available to motorists.
    • Green Signs: Directional signs that indicate destination, distance, and direction.
    • Brown Signs: Mark parks and recreation areas.

    Traffic Signals and Right of Way

    • Circle with a diagonal line signals "DO NOT DO" or prohibited actions.
    • A solid white line indicates crosswalks and stop lines.
    • Yellow lines signify opposing traffic; broken lines allow passing, while solid lines prohibit it.
    • Three components of basic speed limit: weather, traffic, and road conditions.
    • Controlled intersections have signs or signals; uncontrolled intersections lack them.
    • Drivers must scan left-right; check mirrors, cover brakes when approaching intersections.
    • Vehicles in the intersection waiting for a left turn must be yielded to when light turns green.

    Yielding Right of Way

    • Yield right of way in specific scenarios such as:
      • Yield sign directions
      • Entering from smaller roads
      • Pedestrian crosswalks
      • Emergency vehicles and funeral processions
      • Left turns must yield to oncoming traffic.
    • True or False: You must stop at a downed stop sign – False, it remains effective.
    • Flashing red lights mean to stop; flashing yellow lights suggest proceeding with caution.

    Intersections and Turns

    • Turning vehicles at similar road intersections yield to the vehicle on the right.
    • Uncontrolled intersections require left-turning drivers to yield.
    • A stale green light requires stopping if safe, or covering the brake if unsure.
    • Always turn into the nearest lane when entering a road with multiple lanes.
    • Minimum stopping distance from a school bus is 10 feet.

    Speed Limits

    • Common speed limits:
      • Alleys: 15 mph
      • School zones: 20 mph
      • Residential areas: 25 mph
      • State routes outside business districts: 35 mph
      • State routes outside urban districts: 50 mph
      • Highways: 55 mph
      • Ohio interstates: 70 mph

    Vehicle Dynamics and Safety

    • Traction is influenced by tires, road conditions, speed, and vehicle maintenance.
    • Inertia and centrifugal force affect vehicle control and dynamics in turns.
    • A crowned road slopes downwards towards the sides for better drainage.
    • ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) helps maintain control during hard braking.

    Weather and Road Conditions

    • Roads are most slippery after the first rainfall due to oil and debris mixing with water.
    • Use headlights in low visibility conditions and at night.
    • Bridges freeze faster than regular roads; always be cautious on bridges in winter.
    • Dim high beams when approaching oncoming vehicles to avoid blinding.

    Safety Equipment and Alcohol Regulations

    • Six occupant restraint types include shoulder and lap belts, airbags, and head restraints.
    • Child safety laws mandate various restraints based on age and size.
