A broken white line separates your lane from the lane beside it. What does that marking allow when traffic conditions are safe?
Correct answer: A lane change after checking traffic and signaling
Broken white lines separate traffic moving in the same direction. The marking permits crossing, but the driver must still make a safe lane change.

You want to change lanes where two solid white lines separate the lanes. What should you do?

The center marking has one solid yellow line and one broken yellow line. The broken line is on your side. What does it mean?

Double solid yellow lines separate opposing traffic. No sign prohibits a left turn into your driveway. May you cross the lines to make that turn?
Correct answer: Yes, if the turn can be made safely and briefly
Florida allows a safe, brief crossing for a left turn into or from a driveway. This does not authorize passing another motor vehicle.

You face a stop sign, and a marked stop line is several feet before the crosswalk. Where should your first complete stop occur?

Your lane shows a curved left arrow with the word ONLY. You decide you would rather continue straight. What should you do if a safe legal lane change is no longer possible?
Correct answer: Make the required left turn and adjust your route
Lane-use markings direct the permitted movement. A late route change does not excuse continuing straight from a turn-only lane.

A shared center lane contains left-turn arrows for both directions. How may you use it?

A lane has a bicycle symbol beneath two chevrons, often called a sharrow. What should a driver understand?

Your light turns green while a pedestrian is still lawfully crossing in front of you. What should you do?
