Practice questions

  1. 1. In Indiana, a steady red arrow faces your right-turn lane. No sign prohibits the turn. What must happen before you may turn right?

    1. A.Stop completely and yield to traffic and pedestrians.
    2. B.Only slow down because the arrow points right.
    3. C.Wait for green because every red-arrow turn is prohibited in Indiana.

    My answer:

  2. 2. You are on a one-way street, turning left onto another one-way street. The signal is red and no sign bans the turn. What does Indiana allow?

    1. A.A left turn without stopping because both streets are one-way.
    2. B.A left turn after stopping and yielding, if the way is clear.
    3. C.A left turn only when a driver behind you signals permission.

    My answer:

  3. 3. You face a red light on a two-way street and want to turn left onto a one-way street. Does Indiana's one-way-to-one-way exception apply?

    1. A.Yes; only the destination street matters.
    2. B.Yes; any left turn is allowed after stopping.
    3. C.No; your starting street is two-way.

  4. 4. Your light is green, but oncoming traffic is close as you prepare to turn left. What should you do?

    1. A.Yield until a safe gap is available.
    2. B.Turn because green gives left-turning traffic priority.
    3. C.Move across the oncoming lane so its drivers stop.

    1. A.Keep going because there is no red light.
    2. B.Stop and yield to traffic already there and other users with priority.
    3. C.Treat your road as the priority road if it has more lanes.

    My answer:

  9. 9. A NO TURN ON RED sign applies to your lane. You have stopped and see a clear right turn. What now?

Indiana · 20-question sample · Mark one correct answer for each question.

  1. 1. A — Stop completely and yield to traffic and pedestrians.

    Indiana allows a right turn on a red light or red arrow after a complete stop, when no sign prohibits it and the turn can be made safely after yielding.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Red Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  2. 2. B — A left turn after stopping and yielding, if the way is clear.

    Indiana permits this one-way-to-one-way left turn on red after a complete stop and yielding. The street configuration and absence of a prohibition matter.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Red Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  3. 3. C — No; your starting street is two-way.

    The manual limits the left-on-red permission to a turn from a one-way street onto another one-way street. A two-way starting street does not satisfy that condition.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Red Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  4. 4. A — Yield until a safe gap is available.

    A circular green signal does not protect a left turn from oncoming traffic. Yield to conflicting vehicles and pedestrians before completing the turn.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Green Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  5. 5. B — Only one vehicle at a time may be in the intersection to make the left turn.

    The manual specifies one vehicle at a time in the intersection for a left turn. Do not form a queue inside the intersection behind the waiting vehicle.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Green Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  6. 6. C — You may turn after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

    A flashing yellow arrow permits a cautious, unprotected turn. It does not guarantee that conflicting traffic has stopped.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Flashing Yellow Arrow, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  7. 7. A — Stop completely, check for conflicts, then proceed when safe.

    Flashing red requires a stop. An apparently empty intersection does not remove that requirement; proceed only after yielding as needed.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Flashing Red Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  8. 8. B — Stop and yield to traffic already there and other users with priority.

    A non-operating traffic signal requires stopping. Yield to vehicles already in the intersection, earlier arrivals, vehicles on your right when appropriate, and pedestrians.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Approaching an Intersection with Non-Operating Signal, printed page 35 (physical PDF 40); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 40

  9. 9. C — Wait for a signal that permits the turn.

    A posted prohibition removes the usual right-on-red permission. Stopping and finding a gap do not override the sign.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Red Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  10. 10. A — Before the stop line.

    Use the marked stop line. When no line exists, stop before the crosswalk or intersection rather than occupying the pedestrian crossing.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Approaching a Red Light or Stop Sign, printed page 35 (physical PDF 40); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 40

  11. 11. B — Stop before entering the intersection.

    Steady yellow warns that the right of way is ending. It is not an instruction to speed up; stop when you can do so safely.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Yellow Traffic Signals, printed page 33 (physical PDF 38); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 38

  12. 12. C — Yield and let the pedestrian clear your path.

    A green arrow permits movement in its direction, but does not authorize striking or cutting off someone lawfully clearing the intersection.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Green Arrow, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 39

  13. 13. A — Stop and remain stopped while the red indication is steady.

    Steady red is the stop phase while pedestrians cross. The later alternating flashing-red phase has different stop-and-yield instructions.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons, printed page 36 (physical PDF 41); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 41

  14. 14. B — Stop, then proceed only when the crossing is clear.

    Flashing red still requires a stop before proceeding when safe. These beacons return to dark after the crossing sequence; they do not display a green phase.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons; flashing-red rule on printed page 34, printed page 36 (physical PDF 41); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 41

  15. 15. C — The other car, after checking that it is safe.

    At an all-way stop, the first vehicle to stop is normally first to proceed. Drivers must still watch for conflicts rather than treating priority as a guarantee.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, All-Way Stops, printed page 39 (physical PDF 44); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 44

  16. 16. A — Yield to the car on your right.

    When arrivals are simultaneous, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. If priority is uncertain, avoid forcing a conflict.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, All-Way Stops, printed page 39 (physical PDF 44); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 44

  17. 17. B — Traffic traveling in opposite directions.

    Yellow markings divide opposing traffic. The solid or broken pattern then helps determine where passing is permitted.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Lane Markings — Yellow Lane Markings, printed page 37 (physical PDF 42); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 42

  18. 18. C — Same-direction lanes; change lanes only when safe.

    White lines separate traffic moving in the same direction. A broken line permits a safe lane change, not an automatic right to move over.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Lane Markings — White Lane Markings, printed page 37 (physical PDF 42); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 42

  19. 19. A — No; the solid line is on your side.

    The solid line on your side prohibits this passing maneuver. Do not borrow permission from the broken line facing opposing traffic.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Prohibited Passing, printed page 38 (physical PDF 43); downloaded September 14, 2026. · page 43

  20. 20. B — 100 feet.

    The manual requires returning to the right at least 100 feet before an oncoming vehicle. Do not begin a pass unless the entire maneuver can be completed safely.
