1. 1. What color background is used for most warning signs?

   • A. Red
   • B. White
   • C. Yellow (correct)
   • D. Purple

2. 2. A yellow diamond sign showing arrows that curve around in a circle indicates:

   • A. A U-turn area ahead
   • B. A roundabout ahead (correct)
   • C. A detour loop ahead
   • D. A dead-end turnaround

   Why: The Circular Intersection sign (a yellow diamond showing arrows curving counterclockwise in a circle) warns of a roundabout ahead. Slow down, yield to traffic already in the circle, and enter when there is a safe gap. Round signs are used only for railroad crossing advance warnings.

3. 3. A yellow pennant-shaped sign (a long triangle pointing sideways) posted on the left side of the road means:

   • A. Passing lane ahead
   • B. No passing zone begins (correct)
   • C. Divided highway ahead
   • D. Road narrows ahead

   Why: The no-passing zone sign is the only pennant-shaped sign: a yellow, sideways triangle pointing to the right. It is posted on the left side of the road at the start of a no-passing zone, where a solid yellow line also appears on your side of the centerline.

4. 4. At an uncontrolled T-intersection, vehicles on the through road have right of way over:

   • A. Vehicles already in the intersection
   • B. Emergency vehicles using sirens
   • C. Vehicles on the terminating road (correct)
   • D. Pedestrians in a marked crosswalk

   Why: At a T-intersection (where one road ends and meets another), vehicles on the through road (the top of the T) have the right of way over vehicles on the terminating road (the bottom of the T).

5. 5. A 'LANE ENDS' warning sign (showing one lane merging into another) means:

   • A. Your lane ends - merge over (correct)
   • B. A new lane opens on your right
   • C. The highway ends ahead
   • D. Two-way traffic ahead

   Why: A lane-ends sign warns that the number of lanes is being reduced ahead. Merge safely into the continuing lane before your lane disappears.

6. 6. When driving at night, you should:

   • A. Keep your daytime speed and following distance
   • B. Slow down and leave more following distance (correct)
   • C. Look straight at oncoming headlights to judge them
   • D. Use parking lights so you do not dazzle others

   Why: At night your visibility is reduced, so reduce speed and increase following distance. Do not overdrive your headlights - be able to stop within the distance you can see. Avoid staring at oncoming lights; glance to the right edge of your lane.
