Question 1Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Unless a different speed is posted, what is the maximum speed limit in a Nevada business or residential district?

  1. 25 mph Correct answer.
  2. 30 mph
  3. 20 mph
  4. 15 mph

Explanation

Nevada sets a statutory default speed limit of 25 mph in business and residential districts. A higher or lower limit applies only where a sign specifically posts it. Drivers must also slow below the posted limit when conditions require it.

Question 2Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

For a driver who is 21 or older operating a private passenger vehicle in Nevada, the per se illegal blood alcohol concentration is:

  1. 0.10%
  2. 0.04%
  3. 0.06%
  4. 0.08% Correct answer.

Explanation

Nevada law makes it unlawful to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher for drivers 21 and older. A driver can also be convicted at a lower level if evidence shows impairment. Commercial drivers and drivers under 21 are held to stricter thresholds.

Question 3Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Nevada's "zero tolerance" law sets what blood alcohol concentration threshold for drivers under 21?

  1. 0.04%
  2. 0.02% Correct answer.
  3. 0.08%
  4. 0.10%

Explanation

A driver under 21 may not operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.02% or more. This is lower than the adult limit because any measurable alcohol is treated as a violation for young drivers. Commercial drivers also face a lower limit than private adult drivers.

Question 4Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Who is required to wear a protective helmet while riding a motorcycle in Nevada?

  1. All motorcycle operators and passengers Correct answer.
  2. Only operators under 18 years of age
  3. Only operators riding on freeways
  4. Only riders under 21 years of age

Explanation

Nevada requires every person operating or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle to wear an approved helmet. The requirement is not limited by age or by the type of road. Passengers are covered just as operators are.

Question 5Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Under Nevada law, a right turn at a steady red light is permitted:

  1. Only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street
  2. Only when a green arrow is displayed for that movement
  3. After a complete stop, unless a sign prohibits the turn Correct answer.
  4. Never, because Nevada prohibits right turns on red

Explanation

Nevada follows the general rule that a driver may turn right on red after coming to a full stop and yielding to traffic and pedestrians. The turn is prohibited where a sign says so. The stop must be complete before the vehicle moves into the intersection.

Question 6Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

What does a flashing red traffic signal require a driver to do?

  1. Slow down and continue without stopping
  2. Yield only to traffic approaching from the left
  3. Wait for a green light before moving
  4. Stop, then proceed when it is safe Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing red signal functions like a stop sign: the driver must come to a complete stop and then proceed only when the way is clear. Yielding to cross traffic and pedestrians is required. There is no need to wait for a green light.

Question 7Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

You are on a two-lane road and a school bus ahead of you stops with its red lights flashing. What must you do?

  1. Stop and stay stopped until the red lights stop flashing Correct answer.
  2. Slow to 25 mph and pass with extra caution once the children are clear
  3. Stop only if you can actually see children near the roadway
  4. Sound your horn and proceed around the bus

Explanation

When a school bus displays flashing red lights on an undivided road, traffic in both directions must stop and remain stopped until the lights are turned off. The duty to stop does not depend on whether children are visible. Passing a bus with active red lights is unlawful.

Question 8Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

On a two-lane roadway, where must you position your vehicle?

  1. Wherever traffic happens to be lightest
  2. Near the center line to discourage passing
  3. On the right half of the roadway Correct answer.
  4. In whichever lane offers the best forward view

Explanation

Nevada requires a driver to operate on the right half of the roadway except when passing, making a left turn, or when a one-way road or other special condition applies. Lane position is set by law rather than by convenience or traffic volume.

Question 9Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

You are approaching a tow truck stopped on the shoulder with its amber lights flashing. Under Nevada's Move Over law, you must:

  1. Maintain speed and sound your horn
  2. Move over a lane if possible, or slow down Correct answer.
  3. Flash your headlights and continue at the same speed
  4. Stop completely until the truck leaves

Explanation

Nevada requires drivers approaching a stopped vehicle displaying flashing lights to move into a lane not adjacent to it when that can be done safely. If a lane change is not possible, the driver must slow down and proceed with caution. The rule covers tow trucks and other roadside vehicles, not just police cars.

Question 10Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

When passing a bicyclist on a Nevada roadway, what is the minimum clearance a driver must leave?

  1. 5 feet
  2. 2 feet
  3. 3 feet Correct answer.
  4. 1 foot

Explanation

Nevada requires a motorist passing a bicycle to leave at least three feet of clearance until safely past. If three feet cannot be provided, the driver must slow and wait until it can. The rule protects riders from being squeezed or struck.

Question 11Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

In Nevada, a left turn against a red light is lawful:

  1. From a one-way street onto another one-way street, after stopping Correct answer.
  2. Under no circumstances, because left turns on red are banned
  3. Only when a sign specifically authorizes the turn
  4. From any street onto any other street after coming to a complete stop

Explanation

Nevada permits a left turn on red only when the driver is turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street. The driver must first come to a complete stop and yield to traffic and pedestrians. No special sign is needed for this maneuver.

Question 12Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Two vehicles reach an intersection with no signs, signals, or markings at approximately the same moment. Which driver must yield?

  1. The driver on the left
  2. The driver on the right Correct answer.
  3. The driver who has not sounded a horn
  4. The driver traveling at the higher speed

Explanation

At an uncontrolled intersection, the driver on the left must yield to the vehicle approaching from the right. Speed and horn use have no bearing on right of way. If either driver is turning, the turn signal and path of travel can also affect who yields.

Question 13Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A steady yellow traffic light means:

  1. The light will remain yellow until every vehicle has cleared
  2. Stop only if a pedestrian is waiting at the corner
  3. Speed up so you can clear the intersection
  4. Stop before entering if you can do so safely Correct answer.

Explanation

A steady yellow signal warns that the light is changing to red, and a driver must stop before entering the intersection if that can be done safely. If stopping is not possible, the driver should proceed through carefully. Accelerating to beat the light is unsafe and unlawful.

Question 14Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

The vehicle ahead of you has stopped at a marked crosswalk. What should you do?

  1. Stop and wait until you know why it stopped Correct answer.
  2. Pass on the left after checking for oncoming traffic
  3. Drive around it on the shoulder
  4. Sound your horn to warn pedestrians

Explanation

A driver may not overtake a vehicle that has stopped at a crosswalk, because a pedestrian may be crossing out of view. You must stop and remain behind until the reason for the stop is clear. This rule prevents the common "multiple threat" collision.

Question 15Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Which statement correctly describes Nevada's restrictions on wireless device use while driving?

  1. Both are allowed when traveling under 25 mph
  2. Handheld phone use, including texting, is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. Only drivers under 18 are subject to the restriction
  4. Handheld calls are allowed but texting is prohibited

Explanation

Nevada prohibits the handheld use of a wireless device while driving, whether for talking or for text-based communication. The restriction applies to drivers of all ages. A device may be used in a hands-free mode.

Question 16Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Nevada requires a child to ride in an approved child restraint system until the child is:

  1. Under 4 years old only
  2. Under 6 years old and under 60 pounds Correct answer.
  3. Any child seated in the front seat
  4. Under 8 years old or weighing less than 80 pounds

Explanation

Nevada's child restraint requirement covers children who are younger than 6 years and weigh less than 60 pounds. Once a child reaches either threshold, a safety belt may be used. A child restraint must be used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Question 17Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

On which roadway may you lawfully pass another vehicle on the right?

  1. On a road with two or more lanes in your direction Correct answer.
  2. Only if you remain on the paved shoulder
  3. Only when the driver ahead waves you past
  4. Never, under any circumstances, on a multi-lane road

Explanation

Passing on the right is permitted when a roadway has two or more lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. The pass must still be made safely without leaving the roadway. Driving onto the shoulder to pass is never permitted.

Question 18Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

When entering a roundabout in Nevada, a driver must:

  1. Yield to traffic already in the circle Correct answer.
  2. Yield only to vehicles on the left that are signaling
  3. Come to a full stop before entering in every case
  4. Exercise the right of way over circulating traffic

Explanation

Traffic already circulating in a roundabout has the right of way, so an entering driver must yield. A full stop is required only where a sign or signal requires one. Drivers should enter to the right and proceed counterclockwise.

Question 19Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

At night, Nevada law requires you to dim your headlights when an oncoming vehicle is within:

  1. 1,000 feet
  2. 100 feet
  3. 500 feet Correct answer.
  4. One-quarter mile

Explanation

High beams must be dimmed when an oncoming vehicle is within 500 feet, and also when following another vehicle within 300 feet. Dimming prevents glare that can blind other drivers. Lower beams should be used until the vehicle has passed.

Question 20Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

An emergency vehicle with lights and siren is approaching from behind you. What should you do?

  1. Pull to the right edge and stop until it passes Correct answer.
  2. Stop immediately in your current lane
  3. Speed up so you can reach the next intersection first
  4. Move to the left lane and continue

Explanation

Drivers must pull as close as possible to the right-hand edge of the roadway and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. Stopping in place can block the vehicle's path. After it passes, check carefully before re-entering the flow of traffic.

Question 21Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

During the first six months with a Nevada provisional license, a driver under 18 may not:

  1. Drive anywhere after sunset without a parent
  2. Drive on a freeway outside city limits
  3. Carry non-family passengers under 18 or drive late at night Correct answer.
  4. Carry more than one passenger of any age at any time of day

Explanation

For the first six months of provisional licensing, a driver under 18 may not carry passengers under 18 who are not immediate family and may not drive between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless an exception such as school, work, or a licensed supervisor applies. These restrictions are designed to reduce crash risk for new drivers.

Question 22Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

On a divided highway with a median, a school bus on the opposite side of the median stops with its red lights flashing. What must you do?

  1. Stop only if you are in the lane nearest the bus
  2. Slow to 15 mph and continue past the bus
  3. Continue driving; the median separates you Correct answer.
  4. Stop until the red lights stop flashing

Explanation

The duty to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights applies to traffic approaching the bus on the same roadway. Where the directions of travel are separated by a median, vehicles on the opposite side are not required to stop. Drivers should still watch for children near the roadway.

Question 23Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A driver arrested for DUI in Nevada refuses to submit to a breath or blood test. Under the implied consent law:

  1. The driver's license will be revoked and the refusal may be used against the driver Correct answer.
  2. The officer must release the driver without further process
  3. The refusal cannot be used against the driver in court or at a hearing
  4. The driver may select a different test with no penalty

Explanation

By driving in Nevada, a person consents to evidentiary testing when lawfully arrested for DUI. Refusing the test results in revocation of the driver's license through an administrative process. The refusal can also be used as evidence against the driver.

Question 24Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Nevada law requires a child who is younger than two years old to:

  1. Use a booster seat with a lap-and-shoulder belt
  2. Be secured in a rear-facing child restraint Correct answer.
  3. Use a seat belt if the child weighs more than 20 pounds
  4. Ride in the front seat with the airbag turned off

Explanation

Nevada requires children under two years of age to be secured in a rear-facing child restraint that meets federal standards. Rear-facing positioning supports the head and neck in a crash. Older children transition to forward-facing restraints and then to booster seats.

Question 25Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A Nevada instruction permit holder may drive only when accompanied by:

  1. A licensed driver 21 or older in the front seat Correct answer.
  2. A parent or guardian seated anywhere in the vehicle
  3. Any licensed driver riding anywhere in the vehicle
  4. A licensed driver 18 or older in the back seat

Explanation

A permit holder must be supervised by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and seated in the front passenger seat. The supervisor must be able to take control of the vehicle. A licensed driver who does not meet these conditions does not satisfy the law.

Question 26Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Unless a sign posts a different limit, what is the maximum lawful speed in a Nevada business or residential district?

  1. 25 miles per hour Correct answer.
  2. 35 miles per hour
  3. 45 miles per hour
  4. 20 miles per hour

Explanation

Nevada sets a statutory maximum of 25 mph in business and residence districts when no sign shows a different limit. This is an upper limit only, and a driver must still slow down when conditions such as rain, traffic, or pedestrians require it.

Question 27Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

You are stopped at a steady red light and want to turn right onto a two-way street. When is the turn permitted?

  1. Only when a green arrow appears for your lane
  2. After slowing to about 10 mph without stopping, if the way is clear
  3. Only after backing up slightly to improve your view of the cross street
  4. After a full stop, yielding to pedestrians and cross traffic, unless a sign forbids it Correct answer.

Explanation

A right turn on red is allowed in Nevada only after the vehicle comes to a complete stop and the driver yields to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to vehicles approaching on the cross street. A sign may prohibit the turn at a particular intersection, and the turn must be made into the correct lane.

Question 28Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A traffic signal displays a steady red arrow pointing left. What does this require of a driver in that lane?

  1. Turn left only if no pedestrians are using the crosswalk
  2. Stop, then proceed as if the signal were a stop sign
  3. Stay stopped until a green arrow or green light appears for that movement Correct answer.
  4. Turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic

Explanation

A steady red arrow prohibits the movement it controls until a green arrow or green light is displayed for that lane. Unlike a right turn on a circular red, a left turn against a red arrow is not permitted.

Question 29Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Under Nevada's seat belt law, who is responsible for making sure a passenger under 18 is properly restrained?

  1. The driver of the vehicle Correct answer.
  2. The registered owner of the vehicle, whoever is driving
  3. The passenger, once old enough to sit in the front seat
  4. Nobody, if the vehicle was built without seat belts

Explanation

Nevada places the duty on the driver to ensure that every passenger under 18 is properly restrained by a seat belt or approved child restraint. Adult passengers are responsible for buckling themselves.

Question 30Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Under Nevada law, who must wear a helmet while riding on a motorcycle on a public roadway?

  1. Every operator and every passenger Correct answer.
  2. Only riders traveling at highway speeds above 45 mph
  3. Only riders who have held a license for less than one year
  4. Only operators and passengers under 21 years of age

Explanation

Nevada requires an approved helmet for all motorcycle operators and passengers, regardless of age or experience. Eye protection is also required unless the motorcycle has a windshield.

Question 31Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

When does Nevada law require a driver to have the vehicle's headlights on?

  1. Only when traveling on an interstate highway at night or in rain
  2. Only between midnight and dawn, when the road is unlit
  3. Whenever the windshield wipers are on, day or night
  4. From sunset to sunrise and any time visibility is too poor to see people and vehicles clearly Correct answer.

Explanation

Headlights must be lighted from sunset to sunrise and whenever insufficient light or weather prevents people and vehicles from being clearly seen at a distance of 1,000 feet. Lights must also be dimmed for oncoming and leading traffic.

Question 32Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A roadway is marked with two solid yellow lines. What do these lines mean?

  1. Traffic in the lane nearest the lines may pass when the way ahead is clear
  2. Passing and crossing the lines are prohibited for traffic in both directions Correct answer.
  3. Passing is allowed in either direction whenever traffic is light
  4. The lane to the left is reserved for buses and carpool vehicles

Explanation

Double solid yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions and may not be crossed to pass in either direction. A driver may cross them only in limited situations such as turning into or out of a driveway or side road where permitted.

Question 33Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Nevada law requires a driver to signal a turn continuously for at least what distance before making it?

  1. 100 feet Correct answer.
  2. 200 feet
  3. 25 feet
  4. 50 feet

Explanation

A turn signal must be given continuously for at least the last 100 feet before the turn. Signaling at the last moment does not give following or oncoming drivers enough warning.

Question 34Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

In a Nevada school zone marked by signs or flashing signals, what is the maximum speed while children are present?

  1. 25 miles per hour
  2. 20 miles per hour
  3. 15 miles per hour Correct answer.
  4. The street's posted limit, unchanged

Explanation

Nevada sets a 15 mph limit in a school zone while children are present or the zone's signal is flashing. Drivers must also watch for children who may step into the roadway without warning.

Question 35Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A driver holding a commercial driver's license commits a per se DUI at what blood alcohol concentration while operating a commercial vehicle?

  1. 0.02 percent
  2. 0.04 percent Correct answer.
  3. 0.08 percent
  4. 0.10 percent

Explanation

Nevada applies a lower 0.04 percent threshold to drivers of commercial motor vehicles. The 0.02 percent limit applies to drivers under 21, and 0.08 percent is the standard limit for other adult drivers.

Question 36Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Besides any injury or death, a crash in Nevada must be reported in writing to the DMV when property damage exceeds what amount?

  1. $200
  2. $500
  3. $2,500
  4. $750 Correct answer.

Explanation

Nevada requires a written report of a crash involving injury, death, or property damage exceeding $750. The report is filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles within the time set by statute.

Question 37Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A U-turn is generally unlawful on a curve or near the crest of a grade when the vehicle:

  1. Is on a roadway with more than two lanes
  2. Cannot be seen by other drivers approaching within 500 feet Correct answer.
  3. Has been in the lane for fewer than 100 feet
  4. Is traveling faster than 25 mph

Explanation

A U-turn may not be made where the vehicle is hidden from view of approaching traffic within 500 feet in either direction. U-turns are also barred where signs prohibit them and at intersections controlled by signals unless a sign permits the turn.

Question 38Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

When a driver is required to stop at a Nevada railroad crossing, where must the vehicle be stopped?

  1. Within 5 feet of the nearest rail so the track is visible
  2. At least 100 feet back from the nearest rail
  3. Directly on the crossing markings, with the hood over the first rail
  4. Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail Correct answer.

Explanation

A stop at a railroad crossing must be made not less than 15 feet and not more than 50 feet from the nearest rail. That spacing keeps the vehicle clear of the train while allowing the driver to see down the track.

Question 39Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Nevada law forbids following a fire department vehicle that is responding to an alarm closer than what distance?

  1. 100 feet
  2. 1,000 feet
  3. Any distance, as long as a safe interval is kept
  4. 500 feet Correct answer.

Explanation

A driver may not follow a fire department vehicle responding to an alarm closer than 500 feet. The same section also bars parking within 20 feet of a fire station driveway.

Question 40Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A two-way left-turn lane marked in the center of a roadway may be used for what purpose?

  1. Only for making left turns from or into the roadway Correct answer.
  2. As a loading zone for delivery vehicles making brief stops
  3. To pass slower vehicles whenever the opposing lane is clear
  4. By any vehicle moving faster than traffic in the right lane

Explanation

The center lane marked for two-way left turns is reserved for left turns into or out of the roadway. It may not be used for passing, for continuing straight ahead, or for parking and loading.

Question 41Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

You are entering a public road from a private driveway. What does Nevada law require you to do?

  1. Stop and yield to all approaching traffic and pedestrians Correct answer.
  2. Enter the roadway and adjust your speed once in the proper lane
  3. Sound the horn to warn approaching traffic and continue
  4. Yield only to vehicles already within 50 feet of the driveway

Explanation

A driver entering a highway from a private road, driveway, or building must stop and yield the right of way to all vehicles and pedestrians approaching on the roadway. Traffic on the public road is never required to yield to a vehicle coming from a driveway.

Question 42Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A left-turn signal displays a flashing yellow arrow. What does it allow?

  1. Turning left without yielding because the movement is protected
  2. Stopping and waiting for a steady green arrow before turning
  3. Turning left after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians Correct answer.
  4. No left turn at all, because the signal is warning of a malfunction

Explanation

A flashing yellow arrow means the turn is permitted but unprotected, so the driver must yield to oncoming traffic and to pedestrians in the crosswalk. A steady green arrow, by contrast, gives a protected turn.

Question 43Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A pedestrian carrying a white cane is waiting to cross at an intersection ahead of you. What should you do?

  1. Proceed, because pedestrians with canes must wait for a gap in traffic
  2. Sound the horn once and drive around the pedestrian carefully
  3. Yield the right of way and take extra care around the pedestrian Correct answer.
  4. Stop only if the pedestrian has already stepped into your lane

Explanation

A pedestrian using a white cane or a guide dog is blind or seriously visually impaired, and drivers must yield the right of way. Drivers should stop well back and avoid horn use, which can disorient the pedestrian.

Question 44Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

On a two-lane highway, a driver is being followed by five or more vehicles. What must the driver do?

  1. Pull off the roadway at the first safe place and allow the vehicles to pass Correct answer.
  2. Turn on the hazard lights to signal that passing is unsafe
  3. Hold a steady speed so the following drivers can judge a pass
  4. Speed up to at least the posted limit until the vehicles fall back

Explanation

Nevada requires a driver who is followed by five or more vehicles on a two-lane highway to pull off at the first safe opportunity and let them pass. Delaying creates frustration and encourages risky passing maneuvers.

Question 45Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

What does Nevada's open container law prohibit?

  1. Any occupant having an open container of alcohol in the passenger area Correct answer.
  2. Open containers while the vehicle is legally parked at a licensed establishment
  3. Open containers held by passengers seated behind the driver
  4. Only the driver possessing an open alcoholic beverage while the car is moving

Explanation

Nevada bars any person from possessing an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the passenger area of a vehicle on a highway. The rule reaches passengers as well as the driver, with limited exceptions such as living quarters of a motor home.

Question 46Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

You park facing downhill on a street with a curb. How must the front wheels be turned?

  1. Away from the curb
  2. Straight ahead in line with the vehicle body
  3. Toward the center line of the road
  4. Toward the curb Correct answer.

Explanation

When parking facing downhill next to a curb, the front wheels must be turned toward the curb so the curb blocks the vehicle if it rolls. The parking brake should be set as well.

Question 47Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

Under Nevada law, which of these driving practices is prohibited?

  1. Applying the brakes intermittently while descending a grade
  2. Selecting a lower gear to help control speed on a long descent
  3. Coasting downhill with the transmission in neutral Correct answer.
  4. Releasing the accelerator on a level road to save fuel

Explanation

Coasting with the transmission in neutral, especially downhill, is prohibited because it removes engine braking and reduces the driver's control. A lower gear should be used to help hold speed on long descents.

Question 48Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

When may a motor vehicle be driven in a marked bicycle lane?

  1. Whenever the vehicle stays under 15 mph and watches for cyclists
  2. Whenever the adjacent travel lane is congested with traffic
  3. Only when needed to cross the lane to turn, enter, or leave the roadway Correct answer.
  4. Only when no bicyclist is visible within 200 feet

Explanation

A marked bicycle lane is reserved for bicycles, and a motor vehicle may enter it only when necessary to cross it for a turn or to enter or leave the roadway. Using it to bypass congestion is unlawful and endangers cyclists.

Question 49Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A police officer directing traffic at an intersection waves you forward while the signal shows a steady red light. What should you do?

  1. Wait for the light to turn green, because signals take precedence
  2. Wait until the officer looks away, then proceed if the way is clear
  3. Follow the officer's direction and proceed through the red light Correct answer.
  4. Proceed only after the officer steps aside and the light changes

Explanation

Directions given by a peace officer controlling traffic override traffic signals and signs. Drivers must obey the officer's hand signals even when the light shows red.

Question 50Nevada Traffic Laws and Rules of the Road

A pedestrian signal shows a flashing "DON'T WALK" together with a countdown number. What does it mean?

  1. Traffic in all directions has stopped, so anyone may cross safely
  2. Do not start crossing; finish crossing if you have already begun Correct answer.
  3. The signal has failed, so pedestrians should wait for a green light
  4. You may begin crossing if you can walk quickly to the other side

Explanation

A flashing "DON'T WALK" with a countdown warns pedestrians not to begin crossing and shows how much time remains for those already in the crosswalk. Drivers turning across the crosswalk must still yield to pedestrians finishing their crossing.
