Your signal turns green, but traffic beyond the intersection leaves no room for your car on the other side. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait before entering until there is room beyond the intersection.

The crossing gate is down but you cannot see a train. May you drive around it?
Correct answer: No; stay stopped until the gate is raised, lights stop flashing and the tracks are clear.
A lowered gate is not optional merely because the train is out of view. Check all tracks before proceeding after the warnings end.

You are leaving a residential driveway and must cross a sidewalk before entering the road. What must you do?

Another vehicle occupies the freeway gap you hoped to use. Who must adjust?
Correct answer: You must yield and find a safe gap before entering the through lane.

An approaching motorcycle has its turn signal on, but its actual intended movement is not yet clear. Should you pull from your driveway in front of it?
Correct answer: No; wait until its actual movement and a safe gap make entry safe.

Traffic is stopped just beyond the railroad tracks and there is no room for your whole car on the far side. The crossing warning is inactive. What should you do?
Correct answer: Wait before the tracks until enough space is available beyond them.
