Your light is green, but traffic beyond the intersection leaves no space for your car. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait before the intersection until you can clear it.
A green indication does not permit blocking an intersection. Wait for enough space to get through without stopping in crossing traffic.

You are leaving a driveway across a sidewalk to join a road. To whom must you yield?
Correct answer: Pedestrians crossing the driveway and vehicles already on the road.

As you approach a roundabout, a vehicle is already circulating toward your entrance. What should you do?

A school bus stops to load children on a two-lane road with red lights flashing and its stop arm extended. You approach from the opposite direction. What is required?

A stopped school bus is loading on the opposite side of a highway with four travel lanes. You are traveling in the opposite direction. What does the manual require?
