    Study Notes

    Traffic Light Signals

    • Green Light: Indicates it’s safe to go; right-of-way granted if the intersection is clear.
    • Yellow Light: Signals right-of-way is ending; proceed if unable to stop safely but yield if necessary.
    • Red Light: Requires a complete stop; cannot enter the intersection until green and clear.

    Intersection Turns

    • Green Arrow with Red/Green Light: Right-of-way granted for turns if the intersection is clear.
    • Yellow Flashing Arrows: Turn is allowed after yielding to pedestrians and oncoming traffic; steady yellow indicates the right-of-way is declining.
    • Red Light Turns: Possible under specific conditions; come to a full stop, check for pedestrians and traffic. Right turns allowed from red unless stated otherwise. Left turns permitted only from one-way to one-way streets.

    Traffic Control Signals

    • Yellow Flashing Lights: Caution advised; yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic when turning.
    • Red Flashing Lights: Equivalent to a stop sign; halt completely and yield to all traffic and pedestrians. Proceed only when clear.

    Stopping at Intersections

    • Stopping for Red Lights/Stop Signs: Halt at solid white lines or before entering crosswalks/intersections; a complete stop for 120 seconds may permit proceeding through red.
    • Yield Signs: Slow down and prepare to stop for vehicles or pedestrians with the right-of-way.

    Non-functioning Signals

    • Non-Operating Signals: Stop and yield to cross traffic before proceeding cautiously.
    • No Signs or Signals: Yield to other vehicles when exiting an alley or driveway.

    Pedestrian Signals

    • Pedestrian Signals: Indicate when it is safe for pedestrians to cross.

    Lane Markings

    • Yellow Lane Markings: Separate lanes of traffic in opposite directions; broken yellow lines can be crossed for passing, solid lines should not be crossed except for turning.
    • White Lane Markings: Separate lanes going in the same direction; broken white lines can be crossed for lane changes, solid lines should not be crossed.

    Lane Changes

    • Changing Lanes: Signal intention at least 200 feet before changing; check for traffic ahead, use mirrors and blind spot checks, and ensure enough room before moving.

    General Lane Usage

    • Lane Usage on Highways: Slower vehicles should remain in the right lane, while the left lane is reserved for faster traffic or passing.
