Questions that are easy to get wrong

At this sign there is no stop line, but there is a marked crosswalk. Where must you stop?

Right beside the sign post, wherever it stands.
Past the crosswalk, at the edge of the intersection.
On the crosswalk, so you can see cross traffic.
Before the crosswalk. (Correct answer)

Explanation: Stop at the stop line if there is one. If not, stop at the crosswalk; if there is no crosswalk, at the edge of the sidewalk; if no sidewalk, at the edge of the intersection.

Every road at this intersection has this sign. Two cars stop at the same time. Who goes first?

The car on the left.
The larger vehicle.
The car that is going straight.
The car on the right. (Correct answer)

Explanation: At an all-way stop, the first vehicle to stop goes first. If two vehicles stop at the same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.

What does this sign mean?

Come to a full stop every time, even if the road is clear.
You have the right-of-way over cross traffic.
Merge into traffic without slowing down.
Let traffic in or near the intersection go first, and stop if necessary. (Correct answer)

Explanation: A yield sign means other traffic goes first. Slow down, stop if you need to, and go only when the way is clear.
