42. What is a crosswalk?

Another name for a four-way intersection.

An area designated for road construction workers.

Pedestrian crosswalks are often shown by white, solid lines to emphasize pedestrian crossing points. Crosswalks may have additional lines between the white, solid lines or in place of the parallel lines. However, crosswalks may also be unmarked.

Make abrupt turns.

Apply the brakes firmly.

To prevent hydroplaning, lower your speed in response to wet roads and keep your tires in good condition. If you detect a loss of control, take your foot off the gas, do not apply the brakes, maintain the direction of the vehicle, and allow the vehicle to slow to a manageable speed.

Do not have sufficient control over their bodies and minds or the vehicles being driven.

Potential driving speeds for the area

The maximum or minimum speed that is legally allowed to be driven

Anything that causes you to pay more attention to driving.

The term “distracted driving” refers to driving while anything takes your eyes, hands, or mind away from the task at hand.
