A vehicle in the adjacent lane has stopped at a crosswalk. You cannot see whether someone is crossing in front of it. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow and be prepared to stop; do not pass until you know it is not stopped for a crossing pedestrian.
The stopped vehicle can conceal a pedestrian. Nevada prohibits passing until you determine it is not stopped to permit a pedestrian to cross.

A pedestrian crosses unexpectedly outside a marked crosswalk and does not yield. What should you do?
Correct answer: Use due care to avoid a collision, slowing or stopping as needed.
Having priority does not remove the duty to use due care to avoid a collision. Slow or stop as necessary when a pedestrian creates a hazard.

A pedestrian using a white cane begins crossing near your path. What should you do?

At an uncontrolled crosswalk, a pedestrian has reached your half of the road. What should you do?

Two streets meet at a T-intersection without painted crosswalk lines. Should you assume pedestrians have no crosswalk there?
Correct answer: No; a crosswalk can exist at the intersection even without painted lines.
The handbook identifies unmarked crosswalks where streets intersect, including T-intersections. Watch for pedestrians and apply the yielding rules.

Children have reached the far sidewalk, but the crossing guard remains in the roadway controlling the crossing. What should you do?

You approach a bicyclist on a road with two lanes in your direction. The immediately adjacent left lane is available and safe. How should you pass?
Correct answer: Move into the immediately adjacent left lane to pass safely.
When more than one same-direction lane exists, Nevada requires moving into the immediate left lane if it is available and safe.

On a road with only one lane in your direction, a lawful safe bicycle pass is available. What lateral clearance is required?
Correct answer: At least 3 feet between any portion of your vehicle and the bicycle.

You are about to turn right and a bicyclist is traveling straight beside your vehicle. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield and let the cyclist continue rather than turning across the bicycle's path.
Do not cut across a cyclist's path while turning. Check for bicycles approaching from the side or rear before committing to the turn.

You park beside a travel lane and are about to open the driver's door. What should you do?

Traffic is queued at an intersection. May you drive through it in the bicycle lane merely to bypass the queue?
Correct answer: No; the bicycle lane is not an extra through lane for cars.
Nevada limits vehicle entry into a bicycle lane to specified situations. Simply bypassing a queue and traveling through the intersection is not one of them.

A motorcycle is using the center of your lane ahead. May you pull alongside within that lane to pass?
Correct answer: No; give the motorcycle its full lane and use a safe, lawful passing maneuver.
A motorcycle needs room to maneuver around hazards and should have the full lane. Its narrow shape does not create an extra lane for a car.
