4. Certain highway signs require drivers to obey an indicated instruction. Such signs are known as:
- Regulatory signs. ✓
- Warning signs.
- Information signs.
- Guide signs.
Answer: A. Regulatory signs.
Regulatory signs are the signs that require drivers to obey an indicated instruction. The handbook says regulatory signs control traffic, set limits, and tell drivers what they should or should not do. It also says these signs are enforceable by law. That matches signs that require obedience to an instruction, such as a stop sign telling you to come to a complete halt. Warning signs are described as general warnings about unexpected roadway conditions, while guide signs give directional information.
5. If traffic signals at an intersection are not functioning due to a power outage:
- Park your vehicle as far off the road as possible and wait for power to be restored.
- Use hand signals to indicate your intentions to other drivers.
- Turn on your hazard lights and proceed through the intersection without stopping.
- Treat the intersection as a four-way stop. ✓
Answer: D. Treat the intersection as a four-way stop.
When the signals are dead because of a power outage, treat the intersection as a four-way stop. The handbook covers this twice. It says that when a signal is out of order and no officer is directing traffic, you should treat the light or intersection as a four-way stop sign. The power outage section repeats it and adds the order of movement: vehicles go through in the order they arrived, and if two arrive at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.
6. This sign means:
- You must drive slowly and sound your horn.
- A bus stop is ahead.
- You are entering a school's parking lot.
- A school zone is ahead. ✓
Answer: D. A school zone is ahead.
7. This sign shows one type of:
- Intersection. ✓
- Road curve.
- Right turn.
- Lane change.
Answer: A. Intersection.
8. This road sign means:
- Side road.
- Keep to the side indicated by the arrow. ✓
- You may drive in the left lane.
- You have the right-of-way.
Answer: B. Keep to the side indicated by the arrow.
9. At an intersection with a stop sign, you should stop and:
- Check your rearview mirror for cars tailgating.
- Move when the vehicle ahead of you moves.
- Look right first, then left, then right again.
- Look left first, then right, then left again. ✓
Answer: D. Look left first, then right, then left again.
10. Certain highway signs contain information about hazardous conditions. Such signs are known as:
- Regulatory signs.
- Warning signs. ✓
- Information signs.
- Guide signs.
Answer: B. Warning signs.
Warning signs are the signs that contain information about hazardous conditions. The handbook puts warning signs in their own group. It says warning signs are usually yellow and diamond-shaped and that they alert drivers to conditions ahead and what to look out for. Elsewhere the handbook lists yellow as general warning and advisory of unexpected roadway conditions. That matches the question's description of signs containing information about hazardous conditions. Regulatory signs control traffic and give commands, while guide and informational signs give directions, distances, or services, so they do not fit this description.
