1
Which devices are used in work zones during both day and night to guide drivers into specific traffic lanes?
- A.Flaggers
- B.Barricades
- C.Railroad crossing signals
- D.Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels✓
Why: Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels are used in work zones to direct traffic into specific lanes. As noted in Chapter 7, these panels help guide drivers safely when a portion of the road is closed.
2
Which lane should you use on a freeway if you are traveling faster than the rest of the traffic?
- A.a middle or left lane.✓
- B.the shoulder.
- C.the right lane.
- D.any lane.
Why: If you are driving faster than the other traffic on a freeway, you should use a middle or left lane. This helps maintain a smooth flow of traffic and keeps the right lane clear for slower vehicles and those entering or exiting the freeway.

- A.the side that is hit.✓
- B.the side opposite to the one that is hit.
- C.the rear.
- D.the front.
Why: When a vehicle is hit from the side, the impact pushes the car toward you. Because of inertia, your body tends to stay in place, making it appear as though you are being thrown toward the side that was hit.
4
In which of the following situations are you NOT required to come to a complete stop?
- A.when you meet a stop sign.
- B.when you meet a flashing red traffic signal.
- C.when you meet a flashing yellow traffic signal.✓
- D.when you meet a steady red traffic signal.
Why: A flashing yellow traffic signal indicates that you should slow down and proceed with caution, not come to a complete stop. The other options—a stop sign, a flashing red traffic signal, and a steady red traffic signal—all require a complete stop as per traffic laws.
