3. A yellow sign showing a bump or dip in the road warns you to:
- A. Move to the shoulder to avoid it
- B. Slow down for a rough spot ahead (correct)
- C. Stop and check the road ahead

- B. The stop line - once past it you must proceed
- C. The point where you can no longer stop safely (correct)
- D. Exactly 100 feet before the intersection
Why: The 'point of no return' is the position from which stopping safely (without running the light or causing a rear-end collision) becomes impossible. Before this point, slow and stop. After it, proceed through safely.

- A. A U-turn area ahead
- B. A curve in the road ahead (correct)
- C. A side road ahead
