What are reversible lanes?
Lanes designed to carry traffic in one direction at certain times and the opposite direction at other times.
What does a green arrow above a lane mean?
You can use the lane beneath it.
What does a red X above a lane mean?
You cannot use the lane.
What does a steady yellow X above a lane mean?
The use of the lane is changing, and you should move out of it as soon as it is safe to do so.
What is the rule about yielding to pedestrians?
Yield to them, always, whether in marked or unmarked crosswalks.
If the traffic light changes while a pedestrian is in the street, what should you do?
You must allow the pedestrian to complete the crossing safely.
If there are two or more turning lanes, what should you do?
Stay in your lane during the turn, ensuring other vehicles do the same.
When turning, how should you position your vehicle within the lane?
Position your vehicle either to the left or right to indicate your intention to turn in that direction. This also frees up lane space allowing other vehicles to pass.
What is the best way to prevent losing control on hills and curves?
Slow down before entering the curve.
Whenever you come to a hill or curve where you cannot see over or around, what should you do?
Adjust your speed so you can stop if necessary.
What is key to basic cornering?
Slowing down before you enter the curve to avoid braking in the curve.
Why should you avoid braking in a curve?
Can cause the vehicle to skid.
If you need to brake in a curve, what technique should you use?
Use trail braking to have more control of the vehicle.
What are the essential elements of driving through curves?
Slow down before you enter the curve, gradually increase your speed to maintain traction, apply the brakes gradually if necessary, and start turning the vehicle just prior to the curve's turning point.
Before entering any curve you should?
Reduce your speed before entering any curve; braking should be done before, not when in the curve.
When approaching a curve, where should you position yourself in the lane?
Lane position two or three, depending on the direction of the curve.
Road position changes in a curve
Decreases the sharpness of the curve by changing to the opposite lane position and then returning to the initial lane position as you exit the curve.
