1. A Kansas driver reaches an intersection controlled by a yield sign. What is required?
Correct answer: Stopping only if that is needed to avoid interfering with traffic that has priority
A yield sign obliges you to stop only when stopping is necessary to keep from interfering with traffic that has priority, and that includes people crossing on foot.

2. How does Kansas treat highway construction crews and their vehicles when they are actively working on the roadway?
Correct answer: You must yield and move out of the neighboring lane
They get the same treatment emergency vehicles do. Give way to them, and shift over so you are not in the lane beside the equipment at work.

3. How does the Kansas manual describe what right-of-way law actually does?
Correct answer: It states who must yield rather than granting anyone the right to go
The rules name who must give way; they never hand anyone a right to go. You receive it only when another roadway user yields it to you, and you must still do everything possible to avoid a collision.

4. Three cars arrive at a Kansas four-way stop, one clearly ahead of the others. Who goes first?
Correct answer: The vehicle that arrived first
Whoever reaches the intersection first should be allowed to move first. Only when arrivals are simultaneous does the vehicle on the right take priority.

5. You approach a stopped emergency vehicle with its warning lights on, traveling in the same direction on a Kansas road with two lanes each way. What is required?
Correct answer: Move out of the adjacent lane, or slow down if you cannot
Move over so you are not in the lane beside the stopped vehicle. When changing lanes is not possible, cut your speed and pass with care.

6. A person crossing a Kansas street is being led by a service dog or is using a white cane. What must you do?
Correct answer: Come to a complete stop and yield without honking
Bring the car to a full halt and give way. Do not sound the horn, because the noise can startle or mislead the person or the guide dog.

7. Who yields when you enter a Kansas roundabout at the same moment as another vehicle?
Correct answer: You yield to circulating traffic and to a vehicle on your right
Traffic already circulating always has priority. If another car arrives together with you, give way to it when it is on your right, and also yield to people walking and cycling.

8. You are turning left at a Kansas intersection while another car approaches from the opposite direction. Who has to yield?
Correct answer: The driver making the left turn
A driver turning left gives way to traffic coming the other way, and when both enter together the car continuing straight has priority.

9. You have a green light in Kansas, but traffic is backed up beyond the intersection. May you enter?
Correct answer: No, not unless there is room to clear the far side
No. A green light does not entitle you to move into an intersection you cannot completely clear; wait until there is room on the far side.

10. You hear a siren and see red flashing lights behind you on a Kansas street. What does the law require?
Correct answer: Pull to the right and stop clear of any intersection
Move to the right at once and halt without blocking an intersection, then stay put until the emergency vehicle has gone by. Following one down the road is prohibited.

11. You reach a residential Kansas intersection that has no stop sign, yield sign or signal. What is required?
Correct answer: Give way to vehicles in the intersection and to those on your right
At an uncontrolled crossing you give way to anything already in the intersection and to vehicles approaching from your right.

12. You are pulling out of a driveway in a Kansas business district and must cross the sidewalk. What is required?
Correct answer: Stop before reaching the sidewalk, then yield
You have to stop before your car reaches the sidewalk area, and only after that stop do you give way to people and traffic before continuing.
