2. You are turning left at an Idaho intersection with a permissive green. Who has the right-of-way?
Correct answer: Oncoming traffic, unless a traffic-control device directs otherwise
Unless a signal or other traffic-control device gives you a protected movement, the vehicles coming toward you keep priority and you wait for a safe gap.

3. An Idaho driver meets a funeral procession moving through an intersection. What is required?
Correct answer: Stay out of the intersection unless you can pass without crossing the procession's path
The procession keeps priority, so you stay out of the intersection while it is going through unless you can cross without cutting through the line of vehicles.

4. You are accelerating down an Idaho freeway on-ramp. Who has the right-of-way?
Correct answer: Traffic already traveling on the freeway
Merging is your responsibility: you build up to the speed of the traffic stream and fit into a gap, because vehicles already on the freeway keep priority.

5. In which situation must a pedestrian in Idaho yield to motor vehicles?
Correct answer: When crossing a street at a place with no crosswalk or intersection
Someone stepping into the roadway away from any intersection or crosswalk has to let vehicles go by, as does a pedestrian whose signal tells them to wait.

6. Two Idaho vehicles arrive together at an intersection that has no signs or signals at all. What is the rule?
Correct answer: The driver on the left yields to the driver on the right
An uncontrolled crossing uses the same tie-breaker as a four-way stop, meaning the driver on the left must give way to the driver on the right.

7. At an Idaho intersection, when must a driver yield to a person on foot?
Correct answer: Whenever the pedestrian is in a crosswalk at the intersection, painted or not
Priority for walkers at an intersection does not depend on paint: it applies whether the crosswalk is striped or simply understood to be there.

8. Which pedestrian must always be given the right-of-way by an Idaho motorist?
Correct answer: Someone walking with a white cane held plainly in view, or working alongside a service dog
Idaho singles out anyone traveling with a white cane held plainly in view or with a trained service animal, and drivers owe that person the right-of-way.

9. You reach an uncontrolled three-way "T" intersection in Idaho and must turn either right or left. What is required?
Correct answer: Stop or yield to drivers coming from both of the other directions
Because the through road crosses in front of you, you have to halt or give way to anyone approaching from either of the other two legs before you turn.

10. At an Idaho four-way stop where vehicles arrive at clearly different times, who has the right-of-way?
Correct answer: The vehicle that arrived first
Order of arrival settles it, so the driver who reached the intersection ahead of the others may go first.

11. You are pulling out onto an Idaho street from an alley or a private driveway. What does the law require?
Correct answer: Stop before crossing the sidewalk and give way to pedestrians and to traffic on the street
You must come to a halt before your vehicle reaches the sidewalk and let both people on foot and vehicles on the street go by before you edge out.

12. What must an Idaho driver do when entering a roundabout?
Correct answer: Give way to the vehicles already circulating, which approach from your left
Traffic already circulating keeps the right-of-way, so a driver waiting to enter yields to the vehicles coming from the left inside the circle.
