Question 1Regulatory Signs

A red octagonal sign with the word STOP in white letters requires a driver to do what?

  1. Slow down and yield only if traffic is present
  2. Stop only when a pedestrian is waiting to cross
  3. Reduce speed to 15 mph through the intersection
  4. Come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe Correct answer.

Explanation

The octagonal shape is used exclusively for STOP signs, and Michigan law requires a full stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or edge of the roadway before proceeding. Rolling stops and yield-only behavior do not satisfy the requirement.

Question 2Regulatory Signs

A red and white triangular sign reading YIELD means the driver should take which action?

  1. Sound the horn before entering the intersection
  2. Merge without adjusting speed because others must yield
  3. Slow down and give the right-of-way to cross traffic Correct answer.
  4. Stop completely before entering the roadway

Explanation

The downward-pointing triangle is reserved for YIELD signs. Drivers must slow, be prepared to stop, and let cross traffic and pedestrians proceed first; a full stop is only needed if traffic requires it.

Question 3Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign with black letters reading SPEED LIMIT 45 indicates what?

  1. The maximum lawful speed in ideal conditions Correct answer.
  2. A suggested speed for ideal conditions
  3. The speed required during rain or snow
  4. The minimum speed allowed on the road

Explanation

A black-on-white SPEED LIMIT sign establishes the maximum lawful speed under favorable conditions. Driving faster than the posted number is a violation, and drivers must still slow below it when conditions are poor.

Question 4Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign showing a black arrow curving left inside a red circle with a diagonal slash prohibits which action?

  1. Changing lanes to the left
  2. Turning left at any time of day
  3. Making a U-turn Correct answer.
  4. Entering a one-way street

Explanation

A red circle with a slash is the universal prohibition symbol, and the curved arrow depicts a U-turn. The sign means U-turns are not permitted at that location.

Question 5Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reading DO NOT PASS with a black symbol of two cars means what?

  1. Passing is allowed only at night
  2. Passing is discouraged but legal
  3. Passing is prohibited in this zone Correct answer.
  4. Only trucks may not pass

Explanation

The DO NOT PASS sign is a regulatory sign that makes passing unlawful in the posted area, often paired with a no-passing zone marking. Violating it is a moving violation.

Question 6Regulatory Signs

A white sign with a red circle and slash over a black letter P means a driver may do what?

  1. Park for a limited time
  2. Park only on weekends
  3. Park only with a permit
  4. Not park in that area Correct answer.

Explanation

The letter P inside a red circle with a slash is the standard no-parking symbol. Parking there, even briefly, can result in a citation or tow.

Question 7Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reading ONE WAY with a black arrow indicates what?

  1. Traffic must turn around at the next intersection
  2. The lane is reserved for buses
  3. The street is closed to all traffic
  4. Traffic on that street moves only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.

Explanation

The ONE WAY sign tells drivers that all traffic on that roadway flows in the direction shown by the arrow. Entering against the arrow is driving the wrong way.

Question 8Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reading KEEP RIGHT and a directional arrow means the driver should do what?

  1. Pass the median or obstacle on its right side Correct answer.
  2. Stay in the right lane at all times on that road
  3. Turn right at the next intersection
  4. Yield to traffic approaching from the right

Explanation

KEEP RIGHT is a regulatory sign directing traffic to pass to the right of a median, island, or obstruction. It keeps opposing flows separated and prevents head-on conflicts.

Question 9Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reading NO TURN ON RED prohibits which maneuver?

  1. Proceeding straight through a red light
  2. Turning left on a green arrow
  3. Turning right after coming to a full stop Correct answer.
  4. Turning right at any time, even on green

Explanation

In Michigan a right turn on red is generally allowed after a full stop unless a sign prohibits it. The NO TURN ON RED sign removes that permission at that intersection.

Question 10Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading LEFT TURN YIELD ON GREEN means a driver turning left should do what?

  1. Turn left without checking for oncoming traffic
  2. Wait for a green arrow before turning
  3. Yield to oncoming traffic before completing the left turn Correct answer.
  4. Stop completely before every left turn

Explanation

This sign indicates a protected-permissive left turn where the circular green allows a left turn only after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. A green arrow would provide a protected turn.

Question 11Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reading LANE ENDS MERGE LEFT warns the driver that the right lane will do what?

  1. Terminate, requiring a merge to the left Correct answer.
  2. Convert to a shoulder for emergencies
  3. Be reserved for high-occupancy vehicles
  4. Become a turn-only lane shortly

Explanation

LANE ENDS MERGE LEFT is a regulatory sign telling drivers that the lane they occupy will disappear and they must merge left. Drivers should adjust speed and signal early to merge safely.

Question 12Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reading NO PARKING ANY TIME means a driver may stop temporarily to do what?

  1. Leave the vehicle while running a quick errand
  2. Load or unload passengers briefly without leaving the vehicle Correct answer.
  3. Park during weekends only
  4. Park overnight if a permit is displayed

Explanation

No-parking restrictions prohibit leaving a vehicle parked, but a brief stop to load or unload passengers is generally allowed unless the sign also says NO STANDING or NO STOPPING. The driver must remain with the vehicle.

Question 13Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading WEIGHT LIMIT 10 TONS applies to which vehicles?

  1. Only commercial trucks with three or more axles
  2. Only buses carrying passengers
  3. Only vehicles towing trailers
  4. Any vehicle whose total loaded weight exceeds the posted limit Correct answer.

Explanation

A weight limit sign restricts any vehicle whose gross weight exceeds the posted amount, regardless of vehicle type. Enforcement is based on actual weight, not on how the vehicle is classified.

Question 14Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reading RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT means a driver in that lane must do what?

  1. Turn right or change lanes before the intersection Correct answer.
  2. Continue straight if no turn is desired
  3. Stop and wait for a police officer
  4. Turn right only if a pedestrian is present

Explanation

A mandatory turn sign requires vehicles in that lane to turn as indicated. A driver who does not wish to turn must change lanes before reaching the intersection.

Question 15Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reading DO NOT ENTER is commonly paired with which roadway feature?

  1. A school crossing zone
  2. A railroad crossing
  3. A designated truck route
  4. A one-way street exit ramp Correct answer.

Explanation

DO NOT ENTER signs are placed at the exit ends of one-way streets and ramps to prevent wrong-way driving. Drivers who see one are facing traffic that flows toward them.

Question 16Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading NO U-TURN is posted at a divided highway median opening. What is the legal effect for a driver who missed an exit?

  1. The driver may make a U-turn after stopping for 10 seconds
  2. The driver may not use the median to reverse direction Correct answer.
  3. The driver may make a U-turn if no traffic is visible
  4. The driver may make a U-turn only during daylight

Explanation

The NO U-TURN sign makes using the median to reverse direction unlawful regardless of traffic conditions or time of day. A driver who misses an exit must continue to the next legal turnaround.

Question 17Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading MINIMUM SPEED 40 is posted on a freeway. What does this require of a driver traveling at 35 mph in good conditions?

  1. The driver must turn on hazard lights and continue at 35 mph
  2. The driver must stop on the shoulder until traffic clears
  3. The driver must speed up to at least 40 mph or leave the roadway Correct answer.
  4. Nothing, because minimum speeds are advisory

Explanation

A posted minimum speed is a regulatory requirement on that roadway; traveling well below it impedes traffic flow and is unlawful in normal conditions. A driver unable or unwilling to maintain the minimum should use a different route.

Question 18Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading NO LEFT TURN is posted at an intersection. A driver who needs to go left should plan to do what?

  1. Turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic
  2. Continue straight or turn right and find a legal route Correct answer.
  3. Make a U-turn at the intersection instead
  4. Turn left only when the light is green

Explanation

A NO LEFT TURN sign prohibits left turns at all times at that location, regardless of signal color. Drivers must use an alternate route, such as going around the block.

Question 19Regulatory Signs

A white sign with a black symbol of a bicycle inside a red circle with a slash means what for bicyclists?

  1. Bicycles must yield to pedestrians only
  2. Bicycles must use the sidewalk instead
  3. Bicycles are prohibited from that facility Correct answer.
  4. Bicycles must ride single file

Explanation

A red circle with a slash over a bicycle symbol prohibits bicyclists from using that path, lane, or roadway. The restriction is regulatory and applies regardless of other traffic.

Question 20Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading TRUCKS USE LOW GEAR is posted on a steep downgrade. What is the purpose of this regulatory sign?

  1. To require trucks to reduce engine braking noise
  2. To reduce brake overheating by using engine braking Correct answer.
  3. To limit trucks to the right lane only
  4. To require trucks to stop at the bottom of the grade

Explanation

On long downgrades, relying only on service brakes can cause them to overheat and fade. The sign directs heavy vehicles to use a low gear so engine braking helps control speed.

Question 21Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading STOP HERE ON RED is placed at an intersection with a traffic signal. Where must a driver stop?

  1. At the sign or marked stop line before the signal Correct answer.
  2. Anywhere within the intersection
  3. Ten feet before the traffic signal pole
  4. At the far side of the crosswalk

Explanation

STOP HERE ON RED directs drivers to stop at the designated line or sign location rather than creeping forward to the signal. Stopping at the marked point keeps crosswalks and the intersection clear.

Question 22Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading NO STANDING is posted along a curb. Which activity is prohibited by this sign?

  1. Leaving an unattended vehicle at the curb
  2. Driving slowly past the curb
  3. Waiting in the vehicle for a passenger to return Correct answer.
  4. Loading groceries while the driver stays inside

Explanation

NO STANDING prohibits vehicles from waiting at the curb, even with a driver present, while brief stops to actively load or unload passengers are typically still allowed. It is stricter than NO PARKING but less strict than NO STOPPING.

Question 23Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading NO PARKING 7 AM TO 9 AM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY is posted on a city street. When is parking legally allowed?

  1. Never, because the sign creates a permanent restriction
  2. Only with a residential permit at all times
  3. On weekends and outside the posted weekday hours Correct answer.
  4. Only on holidays that fall on weekdays

Explanation

A time-qualified parking sign restricts parking only during the stated hours and days. Outside those windows, including weekends and after 9 AM on weekdays, parking is permitted unless another sign says otherwise.

Question 24Regulatory Signs

A white sign reading TWO-WAY TRAFFIC AHEAD with a black arrow is posted after a divided highway ends. What should a driver expect?

  1. Oncoming traffic will share the roadway without a median Correct answer.
  2. The road will become one-way in the same direction
  3. The road will close ahead for construction
  4. A passing lane will open immediately

Explanation

The sign warns that the divided roadway is ending and opposing traffic will soon share the same pavement without a physical median. Drivers should keep right and be alert for oncoming vehicles.

Question 25Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reading KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT BUSES is posted at a transit facility. What does it require of a passenger car driver?

  1. Yield to buses before passing on either side
  2. Follow buses through the left opening
  3. Pass to the right of the island or divider Correct answer.
  4. Stop until the bus lane is clear

Explanation

The EXCEPT BUSES plaque creates a limited exception for transit vehicles while the base KEEP RIGHT instruction still applies to all other traffic. Passenger cars must pass to the right of the island or divider.

Question 26Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign with black text reads SPEED LIMIT 45. In Michigan, what does this sign establish for the road segment where it is posted?

  1. The speed limit that applies only during daylight
  2. The minimum speed allowed in the left lane
  3. A recommended speed for unfamiliar drivers
  4. The maximum lawful speed under normal conditions Correct answer.

Explanation

A black-on-white SPEED LIMIT sign is regulatory, so the number is the maximum lawful speed for that segment in good conditions. Driving faster than the posted number is a violation unless a separate advisory plate says otherwise. Advisory speeds appear on yellow warning signs, not white regulatory ones.

Question 27Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads ROAD CLOSED. A driver approaching this sign at the entrance to a street should expect what?

  1. The street is open only to local delivery vehicles
  2. The street has a lane closure farther ahead
  3. The street requires a permit to enter
  4. The roadway ahead is not available for through travel Correct answer.

Explanation

ROAD CLOSED is a regulatory sign meaning the roadway is closed to traffic and cannot be used as a route. A driver must turn around or detour rather than continue past the sign. It is not a lane-closure warning, which would appear on orange construction signs.

Question 28Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign shows a black arrow curving to the left inside a red circle with a diagonal slash. What does this sign tell a driver?

  1. The left lane is reserved for passing
  2. A left exit is approaching
  3. A left curve lies ahead and should be taken slowly
  4. Left turns are prohibited at this location Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a slash is the universal prohibition symbol, so the sign bans the maneuver pictured inside it. Here the pictured maneuver is a left turn, making the sign a no-left-turn restriction. A curve warning would instead be a yellow diamond with a black arrow.

Question 29Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads YIELD HERE TO PEDESTRIANS. What does this sign require of a driver at that crossing?

  1. Stop completely for at least three seconds
  2. Sound the horn before proceeding through the crossing
  3. Give the right-of-way to pedestrians using the crossing Correct answer.
  4. Slow only if a pedestrian is already in the roadway

Explanation

The word YIELD makes this a regulatory sign requiring the driver to give right-of-way to pedestrians at the crossing. The driver must be prepared to stop rather than merely slow down. The sign does not impose a fixed timed stop.

Question 30Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reads PEDESTRIAN CROSSING with a black walking-person symbol. How does this sign differ in purpose from a yellow pedestrian warning sign?

  1. The white sign marks the exact crossing point and carries regulatory force Correct answer.
  2. The white sign is only a suggestion posted for driver convenience
  3. The white sign warns of pedestrians one mile ahead
  4. The white sign applies only to school children

Explanation

White signs with black legends are regulatory and mark the location where the rule applies, such as a designated crossing. Yellow diamond signs warn of conditions ahead without imposing a rule at that spot. The white crossing sign therefore identifies the place where drivers must yield.

Question 31Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads NO PARKING IN THIS BLOCK. What is the effect for a driver who stops along the curb in that block?

  1. Stopping is allowed for up to five minutes
  2. Parking is prohibited along that block Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed only on weekends
  4. Stopping is allowed only to load passengers

Explanation

NO PARKING IN THIS BLOCK is a regulatory restriction covering the entire block where it is posted. A driver may generally stop briefly to load or unload passengers unless a stricter NO STANDING sign applies, but may not leave the vehicle parked. The restriction is not limited to weekdays or to a short grace period.

Question 32Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT. What does this sign direct drivers to do?

  1. Reduce speed to the posted minimum
  2. Use the right shoulder when being passed
  3. Exit the highway at the next ramp
  4. Move to the right lane if traveling below the general flow Correct answer.

Explanation

SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT is a regulatory sign directing vehicles moving more slowly than surrounding traffic to stay in the right lane. It supports the rule that the left lane is for passing and faster travel. It does not require exiting or driving on the shoulder.

Question 33Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reads DO NOT PASS with a black symbol of two cars. In Michigan, what does this sign prohibit?

  1. Driving in the left lane at any time
  2. Passing another vehicle in the zone where the sign is posted Correct answer.
  3. Changing lanes to the right
  4. Passing only large trucks

Explanation

DO NOT PASS is a regulatory sign that bars overtaking other vehicles in the marked zone, usually where sight distance is limited. The restriction applies to passing any vehicle, not just trucks. It ends where a PASS WITH CARE or similar sign restores passing.

Question 34Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO TURN ON RED with a black arrow pointing left. A driver stopped in the left-turn lane at a red light wants to turn left. What must the driver do?

  1. Wait for a green left-turn arrow or green light before turning Correct answer.
  2. Turn left after yielding to cross traffic
  3. Turn left only if no pedestrians are present
  4. Turn left after coming to a full stop and honking

Explanation

NO TURN ON RED prohibits turning during the red phase, so the driver must wait for a green signal indication. The restriction removes the usual permission to turn after stopping when no traffic is present. Yielding does not cure the prohibition.

Question 35Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT. A driver in that lane who wants to continue straight should do what?

  1. Signal and wait for a gap in oncoming traffic
  2. Stop in the lane and wait for police direction
  3. Stay in the lane and proceed straight with caution
  4. Change to a through lane before reaching the intersection Correct answer.

Explanation

A mandatory lane-use sign requires every vehicle in that lane to make the indicated movement. A driver intending to go straight must move to a through lane before the intersection, using proper signals and mirror checks. Continuing straight from a must-turn lane is a violation.

Question 36Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads NO STANDING. Which activity does this sign prohibit along the curb where it is posted?

  1. Loading or unloading freight
  2. Parking for longer than one hour
  3. Waiting in a vehicle, whether or not the engine runs Correct answer.
  4. Driving below the posted speed

Explanation

NO STANDING prohibits a vehicle from waiting at the curb, even with a driver present and the engine running. It is stricter than NO PARKING, which allows brief stops to load or unload passengers. Only the limited stops allowed by law, such as for a bus, are exceptions.

Question 37Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO PARKING 8 AM TO 4 PM SCHOOL DAYS. A driver parks at 3 PM on a Saturday. What is the status of that parking?

  1. It is prohibited because the sign applies every day
  2. It is prohibited until 4 PM regardless of day
  3. It is allowed only for fifteen minutes
  4. It is allowed because the restriction is limited to school days Correct answer.

Explanation

The sign's text limits the restriction to school days within the stated hours, so a Saturday afternoon falls outside the restriction. The driver may park there unless another sign imposes a different rule. Reading the entire legend, not just NO PARKING, determines the restriction.

Question 38Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads RIGHT TURN ONLY with a black arrow. A driver who intended to go straight through the intersection should do what?

  1. Back up to change lanes in the intersection
  2. Proceed straight and ignore the sign if no traffic is present
  3. Stop and wait for a green arrow before going straight
  4. Turn right and find a legal route back to the destination Correct answer.

Explanation

RIGHT TURN ONLY is regulatory, so the driver must turn right from that position. To reach the intended destination, the driver should turn right and then reroute legally, such as around the block. Ignoring the sign or backing up in an intersection is unsafe and unlawful.

Question 39Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads BRIDGE FREEZES BEFORE ROADWAY. What is the regulatory purpose of this sign for a driver in cold weather?

  1. It warns that ice may form on the bridge deck sooner than on the road Correct answer.
  2. It sets a lower speed limit on the bridge
  3. It requires chains on all vehicles crossing the bridge
  4. It closes the bridge to trucks over ten tons

Explanation

This sign alerts drivers that bridge surfaces lose heat faster and can ice before adjacent pavement does. The practical duty is to reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or steering on the bridge. It does not itself set a numeric speed limit or require chains.

Question 40Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads NO RIGHT TURN ON RED. A driver stopped at the red light wants to turn right after stopping. What is the legal effect of the sign?

  1. The driver may turn right after yielding to cross traffic
  2. The driver may turn right if a pedestrian signals approval
  3. The driver must wait for a green light before turning right Correct answer.
  4. The driver may turn right only from the left lane

Explanation

NO RIGHT TURN ON RED removes the usual permission to turn right after stopping at a red signal. The driver must remain stopped until the signal turns green and the turn can be made safely. Yielding or a pedestrian's gesture does not override the restriction.

Question 41Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign shows a black arrow pointing straight with the word ONLY beneath it. What does this lane-use sign require?

  1. Vehicles in the lane must merge right immediately
  2. Vehicles in the lane must continue straight through the intersection Correct answer.
  3. Vehicles in the lane must turn at the next driveway
  4. Vehicles in the lane must stop before the crosswalk

Explanation

An ONLY plate under a straight arrow designates a through-only lane, so vehicles there must proceed straight. Drivers who intend to turn must select the appropriate turn lane in advance. The sign does not require a stop or a merge.

Question 42Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads NO TRUCKS with a black truck symbol. Which vehicles does this restriction target?

  1. Motorcycles and mopeds
  2. Recreational vehicles of any size
  3. Vehicles classified as trucks above the posted threshold Correct answer.
  4. All passenger cars towing small trailers

Explanation

A NO TRUCKS sign restricts truck traffic, and any accompanying weight plate defines which vehicles are covered. Passenger cars, motorcycles, and most recreational vehicles are not trucks under the sign's meaning. Drivers of covered vehicles must use an alternate route.

Question 43Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT BUSES. A transit bus and a passenger car approach the sign side by side. What does the sign require?

  1. The bus must keep right while the car may choose either side
  2. Both vehicles must keep to the right of the divider
  3. Both vehicles may use either side of the divider
  4. The car must keep right while the bus may use the other side Correct answer.

Explanation

The sign establishes a keep-right rule for general traffic and carves out an exception for buses. The passenger car must therefore pass to the right of the divider, while the bus may use the excepted side. Reading the exception phrase correctly is essential to applying the sign.

Question 44Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads WEIGHT LIMIT 8 TONS PER AXLE. A driver of a three-axle truck with a total weight of 20 tons approaches. What must the driver determine?

  1. Whether the total weight is under 8 tons
  2. Whether the truck has a valid registration
  3. Whether the truck is a commercial vehicle
  4. Whether each axle's load is at or under 8 tons Correct answer.

Explanation

The phrase PER AXLE means the limit applies to the load carried by each axle, not to the vehicle's total weight. A 20-ton three-axle truck can comply if no single axle exceeds 8 tons. Drivers must check axle loading rather than total tonnage alone.

Question 45Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads STOP FOR SCHOOL BUS WITH FLASHING RED LIGHTS. How does this sign relate to Michigan law on meeting a stopped school bus?

  1. It applies only to traffic in the same direction as the bus
  2. It reminds drivers of the duty to stop for a bus displaying flashing red lights Correct answer.
  3. It applies only on school grounds and parking lots
  4. It requires stopping only when children are visible

Explanation

The sign reinforces the legal duty to stop for a school bus that is displaying flashing red lights, whether the driver is approaching from behind or meeting the bus on an undivided road. The stop remains required until the lights stop flashing. Visibility of children is not the trigger.

Question 46Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads NO PARKING ANY TIME. A driver needs to stop briefly to let a passenger out. Under this sign, what is permitted?

  1. Parking is allowed only with hazard lights on
  2. Stopping to load or unload a passenger is generally allowed Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed for up to ten minutes
  4. Any stopping is prohibited at all times

Explanation

NO PARKING prohibits leaving a vehicle parked but generally permits a brief stop to load or unload passengers. A stricter NO STANDING or NO STOPPING sign would bar even that. Hazard lights do not convert parking into a permitted stop.

Question 47Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads TWO-WAY TRAFFIC with a black double-headed arrow. What does this sign require of a driver who has just left a one-way ramp?

  1. Stop and wait for a gap in traffic before proceeding
  2. Drive in the left lane to allow passing
  3. Expect oncoming vehicles and keep to the right side of the roadway Correct answer.
  4. Treat the road as one-way until the next intersection

Explanation

The sign marks the start of two-way operation, so drivers must expect oncoming traffic and position themselves on the right half of the roadway. Drivers who assume the road remains one-way risk a head-on collision. The sign does not require a stop.

Question 48Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO LEFT TURN 4 PM TO 6 PM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. A driver wants to turn left at 5 PM on a Tuesday and sees no oncoming traffic. What must the driver do?

  1. Turn left after stopping and yielding
  2. Wait at the intersection until 6 PM
  3. Turn left because no conflicting traffic is present
  4. Continue straight or turn right and reroute Correct answer.

Explanation

The sign bans left turns during the stated weekday peak hours, and the absence of traffic does not create an exception. The driver should proceed straight or turn right and find a legal route to the destination. Waiting at the intersection for the restriction to end would block traffic.

Question 49Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads DO NOT ENTER and is mounted facing traffic on a one-way street. A driver who has just turned onto that street sees the sign ahead. What is the safest legal response?

  1. Continue slowly to the next intersection and turn off
  2. Proceed because the sign applies only to trucks
  3. Stop and back out or turn around as soon as it is safe Correct answer.
  4. Drive in the left lane to avoid oncoming traffic

Explanation

DO NOT ENTER means the driver is heading into a roadway against the lawful direction of travel. The safest response is to stop and reverse course as soon as it can be done safely, rather than continue toward oncoming traffic. Continuing even slowly increases the risk of a head-on crash.

Question 50Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads RIGHT LANE FOR LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY. A driver in the right lane intends to travel several miles past the next interchange. What does the sign require?

  1. The driver must exit at the next local street
  2. The driver should move to a through lane to continue past the local area Correct answer.
  3. The driver must stop at the end of the lane
  4. The driver may stay in the lane if traveling at the speed limit

Explanation

The sign designates the right lane for traffic serving local streets, so through drivers should move to a through lane. Remaining in a local-only lane can force an unintended exit or a lane change in a congested area. Speed compliance does not change the lane's designated purpose.
