Example questions & answers

1

When you reach an intersection with a green light, are you allowed to proceed?

Illustration for question 1
  • A.Yes.
  • B.No, you must stop.
  • C.Yes, but only after you briefly stop and yield.
  • D.Yes, but only after you yield to all traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection.✓

Why: A steady green signal allows you to proceed, but it does not give you the right to plow through an occupied intersection. You must yield to any vehicles or pedestrians that are still clearing the intersection from the previous signal cycle.

2

Is it legal to make a right turn when the traffic light is red?

Illustration for question 2
  • A.Yes, but only after coming to a stop and yielding to traffic and pedestrians.✓
  • B.Yes, but only if a sign permits you to do so.
  • C.Yes, this is a "protected" turn, so you have the right-of-way.
  • D.No. In Maryland, you cannot turn right at a red signal.

Why: You are generally allowed to turn right at a red light, provided there is no sign prohibiting it. However, you must first come to a complete stop and yield to all pedestrians and cross traffic.
