- Yield to vehicles if turning left while signaling and reducing speed.
Road Signs
- Certain signs indicate routes for heavy vehicles (above 4500 kg), slow-moving vehicles, or bus lanes.
- A solid white line in urban areas indicates that lane changing is not permitted.
Parking Regulations
- A parking lane is defined as the space closest to the curb, allowing parking without meters, or along a primary highway between roadway edges and solid white lines.
Shoulder Checking and Safety
- Shoulder checking involves glancing into the blind spot in the direction of intended movement.
Traffic Control Lights
- A red "X" above a traffic lane indicates that travel in that lane is prohibited.
Collision Reporting
- Report all collisions to the police if injuries are involved or if damage exceeds $1000.
Following Distances
- When stopping behind another vehicle, allow enough space to maneuver into another lane safely.
Responding to Tailgating
