23. To be safe when crossing a railroad, you should:

Look both ways, but only when the red light is flashing.

Listen, look both ways, and then proceed if it is safe to do so.

Cross especially quickly when a train is approaching.

Quickly pass under any lowering gates.

Railroad crossings are always dangerous. Drivers should look and listen for an approaching train coming from either direction before proceeding across the tracks. Watch for signals indicating an approaching train and never proceed until you are certain it is safe to do so.

24. When approaching a steady yellow traffic light, drivers should:

Accelerate to avoid a red light.

Continue driving, as they have the right-of-way.

Slow to a stop, unless they are already within the intersection.

Check to see what the cars next to them are doing.

A steady yellow traffic light indicates that a red light is about to appear. Stop unless you are already within the intersection.

25. When approaching road construction or maintenance areas:

Keep your vehicle in the middle of the lane and obey the speed limit.

Do not pass other vehicles.

Be alert to flashing arrow panels or messages, signs, and flaggers.

All of the above.

When driving near traffic control devices in a work zone, you should drive near the middle of your lane and obey the posted speed limit. Do not change lanes until you are completely clear of the work zone. Flashing arrow panels, message boards, work zone signs, and flaggers may give special instructions.

26. “Highway hypnosis” is a driving condition that can result from:

Staring at the roadway for long periods of time.

Frequent rest stops.

Too much sleep the night before your trip.

Short trips on expressways.

"Highway hypnosis” happens when you stare straight ahead at the roadway for long periods of time and stop actively scanning ahead, behind, and around your vehicle. This can lead you to zone out, making you very likely to crash into traffic slowing or stopping ahead of you.

27. If your car starts to skid, turn your steering wheel:

To keep the front wheels straight.

In the direction you want the vehicle to go.

In the opposite direction of the skid.

In any direction. It doesn't matter.

If your vehicle goes into a skid, you should turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the vehicle to go. As soon as the vehicle begins to straighten out, turn the steering wheel back the other way.

28. Coming to a complete stop at an intersection, yielding to cross traffic/pedestrians, and then proceeding through the intersection when the way is clear corresponds with:

A solid red light.

A flashing yellow light.

A solid green light.

A flashing red light.

A flashing red traffic light means the same thing as a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop, yield to cross traffic and pedestrians, and then proceed when the way is clear.
