Topic overview

This chapter covers everything painted, posted, or lit up to control traffic: pavement markings (edge lines, lane lines, stop lines, crosswalks, turn lanes), the full range of traffic signs (regulatory, warning, and informational), and the signals that keep intersections, railroad crossings, drawbridges, and school zones moving safely.

The most heavily tested ideas are the color-and-shape system (red, yellow, white/black, orange, and green each mean something specific) and the rules for solid versus broken lines — broken lines allow crossing when safe, solid lines discourage it, and double solid lines forbid it entirely. Steady, flashing, and arrow traffic signals each carry their own stop/yield/proceed rules, and railroad crossings and school buses add extra stopping requirements.

A common mistake is forgetting that a dark, malfunctioning traffic signal must be treated as an all-way stop, or assuming you can turn right on red anywhere without checking for a "No Turn on Red" sign and yielding to pedestrians first. Take time to connect each sign's color and shape to its meaning rather than memorizing pictures in isolation.

What's the difference between a broken and a solid lane line?

A broken line means you may cross it to change lanes or pass when it's safe. A single solid line discourages crossing unless you must avoid a hazard, and a double solid line means crossing or changing lanes is never allowed.

What should I do at an intersection where the traffic signal is completely out?

Treat it exactly like an all-way stop sign: come to a complete stop, then proceed in the order vehicles arrived, yielding to the driver on your right if you arrive at the same time.

When am I allowed to turn right on a red light?

Only after coming to a complete stop, only if there is no "No Turn on Red" sign, and only after yielding the right-of-way to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to oncoming traffic.
