1. What should a rider expect after passing a yellow diamond-shaped sign?

2. The white X-shaped crossbuck standing at a railroad crossing carries the same legal weight as which other sign?
Correct answer: A yield sign
A crossbuck functions exactly as a yield sign does, so trains have priority. The small plate beneath it tells you how many sets of tracks lie ahead.

Correct answer: You have turned into a lane where traffic comes at you

5. What must you do at a stop sign or stop line before proceeding through an intersection with a blocked view?

6. You come upon a series of signs in fluorescent orange. What are they telling you?
Correct answer: Crews are working on or alongside the road
Orange is the color the guide reserves for construction. It means work is under way on or beside the pavement, and flaggers or other temporary controls may also be present.

7. An 'Added Lane' sign tells you what about vehicles joining from the road ahead?
Correct answer: They receive a lane of their own, so no merging is needed
An added lane means the joining roadway gains a lane of its own. Because that extra lane is created, drivers coming on do not have to merge into existing traffic.

8. A five-sided sign beside the roadway tells you that you are approaching what?
Correct answer: A school area
Among the shapes listed in the guide, the pentagon is reserved for school signs. Railroad crossings use a round shape and motorist services appear on blue rectangles.
