19. A regulatory sign containing a red circle with a slash through the middle indicates:

That drivers should come to a complete stop.

That an action is forbidden.

That some drivers should yield to other drivers.

That drivers should drive under the speed limit.

Some regulatory signs prohibit certain actions. These signs are rectangular and white with red and black markings. A red circle and slash on top of a black symbol indicates that the specified action is forbidden.

20. What should you do when you are going to enter a roadway from a private road?

Blow your horn to warn cars you are entering the roadway.

Stop with part of your car on the roadway to alert other drivers.

Drive out fast to merge smoothly with the traffic.

Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and roadway traffic.

When entering a roadway from a driveway or private road, you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and traffic on the roadway.

21. If you stop at a railroad crossing with more than one track:

Wait to proceed until you have a clear view of all tracks.

Stop on the first railroad track and watch for another train.

Go through as soon as the train passes.

Go through when one of the tracks is free.

If you are stopped at a railroad crossing with more than one track, do not start moving as soon as a train passes. Wait until you have a clear view down all tracks before you start across. Even where there is only one track, do not start across immediately after a train passes; check again for another train that may be approaching.

Entrance to full parking lots.

Entrance to road construction areas.

Entrance to dead-end streets.

Entrances from the wrong direction on one-way streets and expressway ramps.

This sign warns that a road has one-way traffic and you must not enter from your current direction.

23. How can you lower the risk of hydroplaning?

Do not speed when the roads are wet.

Use tires with proper air pressure.

Replace tires with bad tread.

All of the above.

Hydroplaning happens when a vehicle glides on top of a thin layer of water between its tires and the road. Tires with low air pressure or bad tread can increase the risk of hydroplaning. Speeding also increases the risk.

24. You may drive in an HOV lane if:

You are driving more quickly than the flow of traffic.

You are driving more slowly than the flow of traffic.

Your vehicle has multiple occupants.

You are trying to get somewhere quickly.

Some highways reserve the left lane for vehicles with multiple occupants. These High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are identified by signs and diamond pavement symbols.

25. Many crashes are caused by:

Drivers traveling too fast for conditions.

Drivers consistently checking their mirrors and blind spots.

Drivers yielding the right-of-way.

Drivers maintaining a four-second following distance.

Many crashes are caused by drivers who are driving too fast for conditions. Always drive within the legal speed limits and decrease your speed any time conditions are less than perfect.
