Questions that are easy to get wrong

Crosswalk

You face a red light. There is no stop line, only this marked crosswalk. Where must you stop?

  1. Past the crosswalk, at the edge of the intersection
  2. Inside the crosswalk lines
  3. Before the crosswalk (Correct answer)
  4. Beside the traffic light pole

Explanation: With no stop line, you stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. With no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk, or at the edge of the intersection if there is no sidewalk.

Red light

May you turn right at this red light?

  1. No, never on a red light
  2. Yes, after a complete stop when the way is clear, unless a sign forbids it (Correct answer)
  3. Yes, without stopping if no cars are coming
  4. Only if a driver behind you sounds the horn

Explanation: In Ontario you may turn right on a red light, but only after a complete stop and once the way is clear. A sign can prohibit it.

Flashing green light (advance green)

What does a flashing green light mean in Ontario?

  1. The light is about to turn red
  2. Advance green: you may turn left, go straight or turn right from the proper lane (Correct answer)
  3. The signal is broken; treat it as an all-way stop
  4. Pedestrians may cross in every direction

Explanation: A flashing green light is an advance green. You may turn left, go straight or turn right from the proper lane while oncoming traffic faces a red light.
