A 3-minute lesson from the Alabama course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
When an emergency vehicle with flashing red or blue lights and a siren comes toward you or from behind, pull over to the curb or side of the road and stop completely.
You're stopped at a red light on a one-way street and want to turn left onto another one-way street whose traffic moves from right to left. After a complete stop, you may turn left on red, yielding to pedestrians and traffic, unless a sign prohibits it.
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
Where a stop sign is posted but there is no marked stop line or crosswalk, where must you stop?
Before the crossing street, where you can see traffic
You may proceed without stopping if no cars are visible
In the intersection, where the view is clearest
Exactly at the sign, regardless of visibility
Answer: Before the crossing street, where you can see traffic
If there's no marked stop line or crosswalk, you must stop before entering the crossing street where you have a clear view of approaching traffic.
If a stop line is marked, a vehicle approaching a STOP sign should pull past it and stop at the edge of the cross street.
True
False
Answer: False
False. The handbook says a vehicle approaching a STOP sign must stop at the marked stop line. Only if there is no line do you stop before the crosswalk or the intersection.
