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.
- Comprehensive insurance covers vehicle theft, while collision insurance covers damage from crashes.
