2. Dashed white lines between lanes of traffic mean

Explanation

Dashed white lines between lanes of traffic indicate that drivers are allowed to cross the lines in order to pass or change lanes, as long as it is safe to do so. These lines do not prohibit passing or changing lanes, unlike solid white lines. Therefore, drivers should exercise caution and ensure that it is safe to cross the lines before doing so.

Submit
3.  A broken line on your side of the road means you can pass.

Explanation

A broken line on your side of the road indicates that you are allowed to pass other vehicles if it is safe to do so. This means that you can cross over the broken line to overtake another vehicle or change lanes, as long as there is no oncoming traffic and it is safe to proceed.

Submit
4. When required to stop because of a sign or signal, you must stop

Explanation

When required to stop because of a sign or signal, you must stop before the front of your vehicle reaches the stop line. This is because the stop line is the designated point where you are required to come to a complete stop. Stopping after the stop line or when your front tires are ahead of the stop line would mean that you have not fully complied with the requirement to stop. Therefore, the correct action is to stop before reaching the stop line.

Submit
5. Lines separating traffic moving in opposite directions are

Explanation

Yellow lines separating traffic moving in opposite directions indicate a divided roadway or a median. These lines serve as a visual guide to inform drivers that they should not cross into the opposite lane. It helps to maintain order and safety on the road by preventing head-on collisions and ensuring that vehicles stay in their designated lanes. Yellow lines are commonly used in areas where there is a higher risk of accidents or where traffic flow needs to be controlled.

Submit
6. Crosswalks can be at intersections or in the middle of the block.

Explanation

Crosswalks can be found at both intersections and in the middle of the block. This means that pedestrians can legally cross the road at designated crosswalks regardless of their location, ensuring their safety and the smooth flow of traffic.

Submit
7. A solid line on your side of the road means you can pass.

Explanation

A solid line on your side of the road indicates that passing is not allowed. It is used to separate traffic moving in opposite directions and indicates that it is unsafe to cross over into the opposing lane to pass another vehicle. Passing is only permitted when there is a broken line on your side of the road. Therefore, the statement "A solid line on your side of the road means you can pass" is false.

Submit
8. Yellow pavement markings are used to separate traffic moving in opposite directions.

Explanation

Yellow pavement markings are used on roadways to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. They serve as a visual reminder for drivers to stay in their designated lanes and help prevent head-on collisions. White pavement markings, on the other hand, are used to separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction

Submit
9. You may cross a solid yellow line to turn into a driveway if it is safe to do so.

Explanation

You can cross a solid yellow line to turn into a driveway if it is safe to do so. Solid yellow lines are used to indicate a no-passing zone, but they do not prohibit turning into a driveway. However, it is important to ensure that it is safe to cross the line and that there is no oncoming traffic before making the turn.

Submit
10. It is okay to cross over a solid white line to avoid a hazard.

Explanation

It is generally acceptable to cross over a solid white line when necessary to avoid a hazard. Solid white lines are used to indicate lane boundaries and discourage lane changes, but safety should always take precedence. If there is an obstacle or danger in your lane, it may be necessary to briefly cross over the solid white line to avoid it. However, this should be done cautiously and only when absolutely necessary.

Submit
11. If there is no marked stop line nor a marked or unmarked crosswalk, stop at the point nearest

Explanation

The correct answer is to stop at the intersect where you have a clear view of approaching traffic, but before entering the intersection. This is the safest option as it allows the driver to assess the traffic conditions before proceeding further. Stopping at the point nearest to the center of the intersection may obstruct the view of other drivers and can be dangerous. Therefore, option B is the correct choice in this situation.

Submit
12. ______________  between lanes of traffic means neither side can pass.

Explanation

Two solid yellow lines between lanes of traffic means that neither side can pass. These lines indicate a no-passing zone, where it is prohibited to overtake or pass other vehicles. The solid yellow lines are used to separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. Passing is only allowed when there is a broken yellow line, indicating that it is safe to pass. Therefore, the correct answer is two solid yellow lines.

Submit
13. Lines along the side of the road show you where the edge of the road is located. A ____________ line indicates the right edge of the traffic lane on a road.

Explanation

Solid white lines indicate the right edge of the traffic lane on a road. These lines help drivers stay within their lane and provide a clear boundary between lanes. Solid yellow lines, on the other hand, indicate the left edge of a traffic lane or separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions. Solid green lines are not typically used to indicate the edge of the road. Therefore, the correct answer is solid white.

Submit
14. A _______________ line indicates the left edge of traffic lanes going in your direction.

Explanation

In road markings, a solid or dashed white line indicates the left edge of traffic lanes going in your direction. White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction, while yellow lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.

Submit
15. _____________________ mean you may pass, but watch for oncoming traffic.

Explanation

Dashed yellow lines mean you may pass, but watch for oncoming traffic.

Submit
16.  A shared center lane is reserved for making

Explanation

A shared center lane is reserved for making left turns and U-turns (when they are permitted). This means that vehicles can use this lane to make both left turns and U-turns, but only when U-turns are allowed. It is not reserved for right turns only or U-turns only.

Submit
17. If there is no marked stop line, stop before entering the marked crosswalk on the far side of the intersection.

Explanation

The statement is false because if there is no marked stop line, drivers should stop before entering the intersection, not before entering the marked crosswalk on the far side of the intersection. The absence of a marked stop line does not change the basic rule of stopping before entering the intersection itself.
