Intersections and Turning Procedures Flashcards

When may you turn right at a red light in Alaska?

Answer: After coming to a complete stop and yielding to all traffic and pedestrians, unless a sign prohibits it

In Alaska, a right turn on red is permitted after a complete stop and yielding to all traffic and pedestrians, unless a posted sign prohibits it.

At a four-way stop, two vehicles arrive at exactly the same time facing each other. One intends to go straight, the other intends to turn left. Who goes first?

Answer: The vehicle going straight

A vehicle going straight has the right of way over a vehicle making a left turn from the opposite direction.

When two vehicles arrive simultaneously at a four-way stop and are approaching from different streets, the right of way goes to:

Answer: The vehicle on the right

When two vehicles arrive at a four-way stop at the same time, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.

When turning right onto a road with multiple lanes, you must turn into:

Answer: The nearest lane on the right side

When turning right, you must enter the closest available lane on the right side of the road, not cross over into farther lanes.

What is the correct hand signal for a left turn?

Answer: Left arm extended straight out horizontally through the window

The hand signal for a left turn is the left arm extended straight out horizontally through the driver's window.

Before making a turn at an intersection, you should check mirrors and signal, then:

Answer: Move into the proper lane well before the turn

You should move into the proper lane well in advance of the turn — not at the last moment — to give other drivers time to react.

A left turn from a two-way street should begin from:

Answer: The lane closest to the center line

Left turns must begin from the lane closest to the center line of the road so the turn can be completed safely into the correct lane of the cross street.
