- A. Turn off all of your vehicle's lights (correct)
- B. Leave your headlights and brake lights on
- C. Stop in the travel lane and wait
- D. Turn on your high-beam headlights
Why: In a dust storm, pull as far off the road as possible and turn off all lights, so drivers behind you don't follow your lights off the road and crash into you.

2. What does this warning sign tell you?
- A. A stop sign is ahead (correct)
- B. The road ends ahead
- C. Stopping is not allowed
- D. A police checkpoint is ahead
Why: The stop-ahead sign warns that there is a stop sign coming up that you may not see yet. Slow down and get ready to stop.

3. What does this sign require you to do?
- A. Stop fully even when the road is clear of cars
- B. Slow down, yield, and stop only if needed (correct)
- C. Go first - cross traffic must yield
- D. Merge without changing your speed

4. A yellow sign with a black arrow bending at a 90-degree angle indicates:
- A. A gentle curve
- B. A sharp turn ahead (correct)
- C. A side road ahead
- D. A lane shift ahead
Why: A sharp-angle arrow warns of a sharp turn (not a gentle curve) ahead. Slow down significantly before the turn - the recommended speed is often posted below.
Source: Federal MUTCD 11th ed. (Dec 2023) 2C.07 Paragraph 02
5. A yellow diamond sign showing an arrow that curves back and forth several times warns of:
- A. A winding road ahead (correct)
- B. A slippery road
- C. A single sharp curve
- D. A steep hill ahead
Why: The Winding Road sign (a single arrow that bends back and forth) warns of three or more curves in a row ahead. An S-shaped arrow with only two bends is the Reverse Curve sign. Reduce speed and stay alert through the curves.

6. What does a railroad advance warning sign look like?
- A. A white X-shaped sign reading RAILROAD CROSSING
- B. A round yellow sign with an X and RR (correct)
- C. A yellow pentagon showing a train
- D. A red and white triangle reading RR
Why: The round yellow sign with an X and "RR" is the railroad advance warning sign, usually the first sign you see before a highway-rail crossing. At the tracks you will see the white X-shaped crossbuck, which means yield to trains.
