You want to turn right at a steady red light, and no sign prohibits it. What must happen first?
Correct answer: Stop completely and yield to conflicting traffic and pedestrians.
A permitted right turn on red begins with a full stop. Turn only after yielding and confirming that the entire path is safe.

In Louisiana, you face a steady right-pointing red arrow. No sign prohibits a right turn on red. After a complete stop and yielding to pedestrians and other traffic, may you turn right when safe?
Correct answer: Yes; the statute permits this cautious turn after stopping and yielding.
R.S. 32:232(3)(b) expressly includes the turn exception in (c), which applies to any steady red signal when no sign prohibits the turn. Stop fully and yield before a safe right turn. This statutory exception is missing from the guide's simplified red-arrow summary.

You reach an intersection where the traffic-control signal is not functioning. How must you treat it in Louisiana?
Correct answer: As an all-way stop.
The Louisiana guide says a nonfunctioning signal reverts to an all-way or four-way stop. Stop and use the applicable yielding rules.

You and a car on your right stop at an all-way stop at the same time. Neither is turning across another vehicle. Who goes first?
Correct answer: The car on your right.
For simultaneous arrivals, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. Never force priority if another driver fails to yield.

Two lanes moving in the same direction are separated by double solid white lines. May you cross them for a routine lane change?
Correct answer: No; crossing these lines is prohibited.
Double solid white lines prohibit crossing. Choose another lawful route rather than cutting over them to reach an exit.

How far before a turn must a Louisiana driver signal continuously at minimum?
Correct answer: 100 feet.
The guide specifies a continuous turn signal for at least the last 100 feet before the turn. Faster traffic or heavy traffic may require earlier notice.

You must wait in the roadway before turning left across traffic. How should you position the front wheels?
Correct answer: Keep them straight until it is safe to turn.
Straight wheels reduce the chance that a rear impact will push your vehicle into oncoming traffic while you are waiting.

You are preparing a left turn from a shared two-way center turn lane. What is Louisiana's maximum travel distance in that lane?
Correct answer: 200 feet.
The center lane serves left turns from both directions. The guide limits travel in it to 200 feet, so do not enter it far before the turn.

A queue is moving slowly beside a shared center left-turn lane. May you use that lane to pass the queue and rejoin through traffic?
Correct answer: No; the shared lane is for left turns, not passing.
Using the center lane as a passing or through lane creates conflicts with vehicles turning from either direction.

You cannot see the truck driver's face in the truck's side mirror. What is the safest assumption?
Correct answer: The driver may not be able to see your car.
Avoid lingering in a truck's blind areas. Increase separation or complete a safe, legal pass so that the driver can better locate you.

A large truck is turning at the intersection ahead. What should you provide?
Correct answer: Extra room rather than squeezing into its turning space.
A truck needs more space to maneuver, and its blind spots change throughout the turn. Stay clear of the path swept by the vehicle.

A motorcycle is riding near one side of its lane. May your car use the rest of that same lane to pass it?
Correct answer: No; give the motorcycle the full lane.
Motorcyclists may need to change lane position to avoid hazards. Pass as you would another vehicle instead of squeezing alongside in the same lane.

A motorcycle approaching your driveway has a turn signal flashing. Is that alone enough to enter its path?
Correct answer: No; wait until the rider's movement clearly shows the turn.
A motorcycle's signal may not cancel automatically. Do not assume the rider will turn until the maneuver is clear.
