Your green turn arrow lights, but a pedestrian is lawfully in the associated crosswalk. What is required?
Correct answer: Yield to the pedestrian before turning
A green arrow allows its indicated movement cautiously, not unconditionally. Drivers still yield to pedestrians lawfully in the associated crosswalk and traffic lawfully using the intersection.

You are driving a car toward a planned turn on an Ohio highway. For at least how much of the final approach must the required turn signal be continuous?
Correct answer: The last 100 feet

A car waits to turn left ahead of you. The only way around on its right is to drive off the roadway onto the shoulder. May you make that pass?

No officer or traffic necessity requires you to stop there. May you park your car eight feet from a fire hydrant?

A highway has four traffic lanes, two in each direction, with no median. A school bus stops to load children in the opposite direction. Does the stopped-bus rule require your car to stop?
Correct answer: No; the four-lane opposing-traffic exception applies
On a highway divided into four or more traffic lanes, opposing traffic need not stop for the bus under this rule. The statute does not make a physical median a condition of that exception. Continue with care for any actual hazard.

You approach a listed stationary emergency vehicle with prescribed warning lights, but traffic makes moving away unsafe. What does Ohio require instead?

Correct answer: A compliant booster used according to its manufacturer's instructions.
