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.
Alcohol impacts vision, judgment, reflexes, and emotions; legal BAC limits are 0.02%-0.08% for those under 21, and 0.08% for those 21 and older.
Penalties for speeding in work zones include steeper fines.

Vehicle Inspections and Insurance Requirements

Ohio requires liability insurance with state minimums: $25,000-$50,000 for personal injury and $25,000 for property damage.
There are specific lights and tail light visibility requirements for vehicles.
Following distances for motorcycles and trucks should be greater than for cars.
Keeping a vehicle maintained benefits wallet, time, lives, and environment.

Additional Notable Points

When present, ensure to stop for emergency vehicles by moving to the right.
The importance of maintaining a safe following distance is crucial for reaction time.
Know how to react in the event of skids: ease off pedals rather than brake suddenly.
