Study Notes
Pedestrian and School Zone Signs
- Pedestrian activated crosswalk signs indicate that drivers should be prepared to stop if the light is flashing.
- Playground zone signs indicate a 30 km/h speed limit from dawn to dusk.
- School crosswalk signs require drivers to yield to pedestrians, and if a crossing guard is present, follow their directions.
- School zone signs indicate a 50 km/h speed limit from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days when children are present.
Lane Use Signs
- Lane use signs are mounted above the lane or at the side of the lane before an intersection.
- Drivers must follow the direction indicated by the arrows on these signs.
- Drivers may not move into or out of a designated lane while in an intersection.
Turn Control Signs
- Turn control signs are mounted directly above the intersection.
- If another vehicle has arrived at the intersection before you, slow down and yield.
- If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.
Stopping at Intersections
- At intersections with a stop line, stop just before the line.
- At intersections with a crosswalk but no stop line, stop just before the crosswalk.
- At intersections with an unmarked crosswalk, stop where you would if there were a marked crosswalk.
- At intersections with no stop line, no crosswalk, and no sidewalk, stop just before entering the intersection.
Right-of-Way at Intersections
- Right-of-way rules determine who must yield when more than one road user wants to move into the same space.
- Even if you have the right-of-way, it's still your responsibility to avoid a crash.
- The flashing green arrow allows you to turn left, but you must yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic.
- Flashing red lights require a complete stop before proceeding.
Intersections Controlled by Stop Signs
- A stop sign always means come to a complete stop.
- Once stopped, check the intersection carefully before proceeding.
- At two-way stops, wait until there is a safe gap before going through or turning.
- If two vehicles are stopped at a two-way stop and one of the drivers wants to turn left, they must yield to the other vehicle.
Test your knowledge on road safety signs, speed limits, and rules around school zones, pedestrian crosswalks, and playgrounds. Be prepared to answer questions related to yielding to pedestrians, reducing speed limits, and following directions of crossing guards.
