17. If you have trouble seeing other vehicles because of dust or smoke blowing across the roadway, you should drive more slowly and turn on your:

Emergency flashers.

Parking lights.

Headlights.

You must turn on your headlights any time conditions prevent you from seeing other vehicles. Other drivers may have trouble seeing you, too.

No right turn.

Drive only in the direction of the arrow.

Curve ahead.

Regulatory signs provide notice to road users of traffic laws that must be obeyed. Where this sign is present, drivers must drive in the direction indicated by the arrow.

19. Children on bicycles should be given extra space by motor vehicle operators because:

They do not have the same physical reflexes as adults.

They are smaller and more difficult to see than adults.

Both of the above.

Children are often the least predictable pedestrians and the most difficult pedestrians to see. Take extra care to look out for children, especially near schools, bus stops, playgrounds, parks, and ice cream trucks. Be aware of children riding bikes on the sidewalk, as they may come onto the road unexpectedly.

Do not enter.

Roundabout ahead.

No U-turns.

Regulatory signs provide notice to road users of traffic laws that must be obeyed. This sign tells drivers that it is prohibited to make a U-turn.

21. It is unlawful to:

Pass another vehicle in any marked no passing zone.

Pass another vehicle over a railroad crossing.

Both of the above.

It is illegal to cross the centerline to pass when driving on hills, in curves, and in other locations where you cannot see ahead far enough to pass safely. You may not pass at street crossings, at railroad crossings, where signs indicate no passing zones, or where a solid yellow line is next to your lane. You may not pass when the vehicle in front of you has stopped for a pedestrian or when driving in work zones where passing would be hazardous.

22. Alcohol in any concentration is:

A stimulant.

A depressant.

Neither of the above.

Alcohol, in any concentration, is a depressant. It slows all nerve impulses and bodily functions, resulting in a lessening of inhibitions and negatively affecting a consumer's ability to concentrate and stay alert.

23. A solid yellow arrow on a traffic signal means:

You should speed up so you can make the turn before the light changes.

You do not need to signal to turn from the indicated lane.

You should prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.

A solid yellow arrow means that the protection of a green arrow is ending. If you are turning in the direction of the arrow, you should prepare to stop and yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic before turning.

24. The maximum posted speed limit should be driven only:

During the night.

During the day.

Under ideal conditions.

The posted maximum speed limit is the fastest legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions. It is safest to drive at the same speed as surrounding traffic, up to the maximum speed limit. Maintaining a safe speed at all times is a responsibility shared by all motorists.

25. It is legal to make a left turn at a red traffic light after stopping only if:

You are traveling on a two-way street and turning onto a two-way street.

You are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street.

You yield to all other traffic at the intersection.

After coming to a complete stop, you may turn left at a red light only if you are traveling on a one-way street and turning onto another one-way street. Only make the turn if there are no posted signs prohibiting such a turn.
