Review 1 · Signals and right of way
You want to drive straight through an intersection, but your signal is steady red. What must you do?
Correct answer: Stop and wait for a signal that permits you to proceed.
A red signal stops the through movement. An empty intersection or another driver's action does not authorize you to continue.

Review 2 · Signals and right of way
Your light turns green while another vehicle is still clearing the intersection. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait for the vehicle to clear before proceeding safely.
A green signal is permission to proceed only when the path is safe. Give traffic already in the intersection time to clear.

Review 3 · Signals and right of way
A steady yellow appears as you approach, and you can stop safely before the intersection. What is the correct response?
Correct answer: Make a controlled stop.
Yellow warns that the signal is changing to red. When a safe stop is possible, stop instead of racing the change.

Review 4 · Signals and right of way
A traffic signal ahead is flashing red. How should you treat it?
Correct answer: Stop fully, then proceed when safe after yielding.
Flashing red uses the stop-sign procedure: a complete stop followed by a safe, yielding decision. It is not a rolling-stop signal.

Review 5 · Signals and right of way
You approach a flashing yellow traffic signal with a clear view. What does it call for?
Correct answer: Slow down and proceed cautiously.
Flashing yellow calls for caution and a reduced approach speed. Look for conflicts rather than assuming that other road users will stop.

Review 6 · Lanes, turns and parking
A broken white line separates your lane from a lane moving in the same direction. What does it allow?
Correct answer: A lane change when it is safe.
A broken white lane line permits a safe lane change. It does not give you priority over a vehicle occupying the lane you intend to enter.

Review 7 · Lanes, turns and parking
A broken yellow centerline is on your side of a two-way road. What must you confirm before crossing it to pass?
Correct answer: A legal passing opportunity with sufficient clear opposing-road space.
The marking allows passing only when the maneuver can be completed safely. You still need enough sight distance and space before oncoming traffic arrives.

Review 8 · Lanes, turns and parking
A two-way road has a solid double yellow centerline. What does it mean for overtaking another moving vehicle?
Correct answer: Passing across the centerline is prohibited in either direction.
The double yellow centerline prohibits overtaking across it from either side. This question concerns passing, not the separate driveway-turn situation.

Review 9 · Lanes, turns and parking
You need to turn left into a driveway across a solid yellow centerline. The turn is otherwise lawful and no opposing traffic is approaching. What does the Arkansas guide allow?
Correct answer: Crossing the line to make the safe left turn.
The guide distinguishes a driveway turn from passing across a solid yellow line. Check the entire turning path and yield before completing the turn.

Review 10 · Lanes, turns and parking
May you use a shared center left-turn lane as a lane in which to build up speed before joining traffic?
Correct answer: No; it is not an acceleration lane.
Arkansas allows the center lane as part of certain left-turn entry maneuvers, but specifically excludes using it as an acceleration lane.

Review 11 · Space, visibility and road hazards
The posted speed is safe in dry weather, but heavy rain now reduces traction. What should you do?
Correct answer: Reduce speed to suit the conditions.
Posted maximums assume suitable conditions. Rain, surface grip and visibility can require a lower speed even when the sign has not changed.

Review 12 · Space, visibility and road hazards
When should you reduce speed for a sharp curve?
Correct answer: Before entering it.
Entering at an appropriate speed reduces the need for abrupt braking while turning. Excess speed can use up the tire grip needed to follow the curve.

Review 13 · Space, visibility and road hazards
The road is cold and damp, but most of it looks clear. Which area may become icy sooner?
Correct answer: A bridge or overpass.
Bridges and overpasses can freeze while nearby road surfaces remain clear. Approach cautiously instead of judging them by the last dry-looking section.

Review 14 · Space, visibility and road hazards
Where can ice remain after nearby sunny pavement starts to thaw?
Correct answer: In shaded sections of the road.
Shade can keep a road surface cold longer. A change in sunlight can mean a change in traction within the same trip.

Review 15 · Space, visibility and road hazards
On a wet road your tires begin riding on water and steering response weakens. What is happening?
Correct answer: Hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning occurs when water separates tires from the road. Speed and tire condition affect the risk; there is no universal speed that guarantees traction.

Review 16 · Permits and driver readiness
What is the minimum age to apply for an ordinary Arkansas instruction permit?
Correct answer: 14.
The instruction-permit starting age is 14. Age alone does not issue a permit: the applicant still needs the required tests and application documents.

Review 17 · Permits and driver readiness
Who must sit beside an Arkansas instruction-permit holder during ordinary on-road practice?
Correct answer: A licensed driver at least 21 years old.
The permit requires a licensed supervisor aged 21 or older in the seat beside the driver. An older passenger elsewhere in the car does not satisfy that arrangement.

Review 18 · Permits and driver readiness
Which tests does the guide require before issuing an ordinary instruction permit?
Correct answer: The knowledge exam and vision test.
The knowledge and vision checks are part of obtaining the permit. A score on an independent practice website is not a state examination result.

Review 19 · Permits and driver readiness
How long does the current Arkansas guide say an instruction permit is issued for from the date the knowledge exam is passed?
Correct answer: Two years.
Arkansas dates the instruction permit from the day you pass the knowledge exam and keeps it valid for two years. You still need a licensed adult beside you and must pass the driving test to move up.
