Drive slower when there is a heavy traffic or bad weather

Move to the right if someone behind you wants to drive faster

Diamond shape signs means that the truck has dangerous loads such as gas or explosives

Drivers must move over and slow down for emergency and road work vehicles

Stationary emergency vehicles or tow trucks

Stopped road work vehicles

Fines for traffic violations in a work zone can be 1000 or more

Anyone convicted of assaulting a highway worker faces fines of up to $2,000 and imprisonment for up to one year.

Go through the work zone carefully by:

• Slowing down.

• Allowing extra space between vehicles.

• Expecting sudden slowing or stopping.

• Watching for drivers changing lanes.

• Avoiding distractions.

Cones, drums, barriers will guide you

Slow down or stop for highway equipment

Merge as soon it is safe without crossing the cones or drums

Change another lane, once you pass them then you return to your lane

-Give them enough space -Merge toward the curb or into the bike lane when it is safe - Merge behind a bicyclist when making a turn - Enter a bike lane no more than 200 feet before making a turn

Bicyclists might travel close to the right curb or edge when they are traveling slower than the flow of traffic

Unless Passing a vehicle or another bicycle in the same direction

Making a left turn

Avoid collisions

A lane too narrow

Approaching right turn

On a one-way road with two or more lanes.

A front lamp with a white light visible from 300 feet.

A built-in rear red reflector, solid red light, or flashing red light. This must be visible from 500 feet

A white or yellow reflector on each pedal, the bicyclist’s shoes, or their ankles. These must be visible from 200 feet.

As a bicyclist, you must:

• Obey all traffic signs, signal lights, and basic right-of-way rules.

• Ride in the same direction as traffic.

• Always look over your shoulder to make sure the lane is clear before turning or changing lanes.

• Yield to pedestrians.

• Wear a helmet (if under 18 years old).

• Stay visible (for example, never weave between parked vehicles).

• Ride as near to the right curb or edge of the roadway as possible.

• Not ride on the sidewalk (unless allowed by the city).

• Make left and right turns in the same way drivers do, using hand signals and turn lanes.

• Use a bike lane, whenever possible, or use a through traffic lane.

• Have fully functional brakes.

• Legally ride on certain sections of freeways where there is no alternate route and bicycling is not forbidden by law.

• Move left to avoid hazards.

•Choose to ride near the left curb or edge of a one-way street.

Some slow-moving vehicles have an orange and red triangle on their back, such as road maintenance vehicles which usually travel at 25 mph or less

Give the right-of-way to any law enforcement vehicle, fire engine, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren and red lights.

Failure to pull over may result in a ticket

When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing emergency signal lights (hazard lights), move over and slow down

Drive to the right as soon as it is safe and stop.

It is against the law to follow within 300 feet of any fire engine, law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle when their siren or flashing lights are on.

• Check for motorcycles and use your mirrors when you change lanes or enter a road. Motorcycles are smaller in size and harder to see so they easily disappear in vehicle blind spots.

• Allow a safe three-second following distance. This space will help you avoid hitting a motorcyclist if they brake suddenly or fall.

• Whenever possible, give a motorcycle the full lane. It is legal to share lanes with motorcycles, this is known as lane splitting.

• Never try to pass a motorcycle in the same lane as you.

• Check for motorcyclists before you open your door next to traffic.

• When possible, move to one side of your lane to give motorcyclists more room to pass.

Do not drive through a safety zone under any condition.

When a bus, streetcar, or trolley is stopped at a safety zone or traffic light you may pass at no more than 10 mph.

On a divided highway with four or more traffic lanes in one direction, they may be driven in the two lanes farthest to the right.

Change lanes directly in front of them to reach an exit or turn.

Drive next to them longer than you need to. Always pass a large vehicle on the left side

Follow too closely. Tailgating decreases a vehicle’s safety distance.

When a vehicle turns, the rear wheels follow a shorter path than the front wheels. The longer the vehicle, the greater the difference in the length of the turning path.

Large vehicles and commercial trucks take longer to stop than passenger vehicles traveling at the same speed.

The average passenger vehicle traveling at 55 mph can stop within 300 feet. A large vehicle traveling at the same speed can take up to 400 feet to stop.

The heavier the vehicle and the faster it is moving, the longer it takes to safely stop, so a loaded truck will take longer to stop than an empty truck. Do not 43 move in front of a large vehicle and suddenly slow down or stop.

The large vehicle will not be able to stop fast enough to avoid crashing into you.

Large vehicle and truck drivers have a better view in front of them and bigger mirrors. But they also have large blind spots, also called No Zones

If you cannot see the truck’s side mirrors, the truck driver cannot see you

If two vehicles meet on a steep narrow road and neither vehicle can pass, the vehicle facing uphill has the right-of-way. The vehicle facing downhill has more control when backing up the hill. The vehicle facing downhill should back up until the vehicle going uphill can pass.

You are near a school. Drive slowly and stop for children in the crosswalk.

Warns you of specific road conditions and dangers ahead.

Communicates many important rules you must obey.

Warns of conditions related to pedestrians, bicyclists, schools, playgrounds, school buses, and school passenger loading zones

An intersection is any place where one road meets another road.

Controlled intersections have signs or traffic signal lights. Uncontrolled and blind intersections do not. Before entering an intersection, look left, right, and ahead to check for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

The vehicle that arrives to the intersection first has the right-of-way.

However, if a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist gets to the intersection at the same time as you, give the right-of-way to the vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist on your right.

If you approach a stop sign and there is a stop sign on all four corners, stop first and proceed as above.

Vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians on the through road (continuing to go straight) have the right-of-way.

Give the right-of-way to any pedestrian or approaching vehicle that is close enough to be dangerous.

Always check for pedestrians crossing the street, and motorcycles and bicycles riding next to you

When entering traffic, you must proceed with caution and yield to the traffic already occupying the lanes.

In a roundabout, traffic travels in one direction around a central island.

1. Slow down as you approach.
2. Yield to all traffic already in the roundabout.
3. Enter heading to the right when there is a big enough gap in traffic to merge safely.
4. Watch for signs and lane markings that guide you.
5. Travel in a counter-clockwise direction. Do not stop or pass.
6. Signal when you change lanes or exit.
7. If you miss your exit, continue around until you return to your exit.

1. Turn right (yellow car): Choose the right lane and exit in the right lane.
2. Go straight (red car): Choose either lane. Exit in the lane you entered.
3. Turn left: Enter and continue driving until you reach the exit in the direction you choose (blue car).

Do not pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk. You may not be able to see a pedestrian crossing the street.

School crossings may have yellow crosswalk lines. Not all crosswalks are marked

Dim your high-beam headlights to low beams within 500 feat of a vehicle coming toward you or within 300 feet the vehicle you're following

Illegal: driving using only parking lights

Use it: -Too dark to see from 1000 feet away - Beginning 30 minutes after sunset - Until 30 minutes before sunset - Adverse weather- use low beam lights - Conditions such as clouds, dust, smoke or fog -Tunnels and mountain roads - Road signs - Help other see your vehicle

Avoid collisions and alert oncoming traffic on narrow mountain roads where you cant see 200 feet ahead

-100 feet before you turn - Before every lane change - Five seconds before you change lanes on a freeway - Before pulling next to the curb -Almost through the intersection

Signal to turn, change lanes, slow down or stop

Arm pointing to the left is a signal for left turn

Arm pointing up signals right turn

Arm pointing down signals slow or stop

12 o'clock position

When you're turning while backing up

When the operator requires you to remove a hand from the steering wheel

Method when you turn at low speeds, park, or need to recover from a skid

1. 8 and 4 o'clock
2. Grasp the opposite side by reaching across the steering wheel
3. Let go of the steering wheel
4. Reach across the arm still holding the wheel, grip the wheel, and pull up

Start with your hands on the 9 and 3 o'clock and the 8 and 4 o'clock

Keep in these positions when also making turns
