Class 7 Intersections and Right of Way 4

Question 1

In Alberta, what must you do before entering a highway from an acceleration lane (on-ramp)?

Accepted Answer

Match the speed of highway traffic and merge smoothly when a safe gap is available

Answer

When using an acceleration lane to enter a highway, you must build your speed to match the flow of traffic and merge smoothly into a safe gap. You must yield to traffic already on the highway.

Question 2

At an intersection with a green light in Alberta, a pedestrian starts crossing against the signal. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Yield to the pedestrian regardless — drivers must always avoid hitting pedestrians

Answer

Even though the pedestrian is crossing illegally, you must always yield to avoid a collision. Drivers have a duty to exercise care and must never hit a pedestrian regardless of right of way.

Question 3

In Alberta, when a left-turn signal changes from a green arrow to a solid green light, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

The protected left turn phase has ended — you may still turn left but must yield to oncoming traffic

Answer

When the green arrow changes to a solid green, the protected turn phase is over. You may still turn left, but you must now yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before completing your turn.

Question 4

At a multi-lane roundabout in Alberta, which lane should you use if you want to turn left (take the third exit)?

Accepted Answer

The left (inner) lane

Answer

In a multi-lane roundabout, use the left (inner) lane for left turns or U-turns (taking the second or third exit). The right lane is for going straight or turning right (first or second exit).

Question 5

In Alberta, what does a solid white line between lanes at an intersection mean?

Accepted Answer

You should not change lanes — stay in your current lane

Answer

A solid white line between lanes indicates that lane changes are discouraged or prohibited in that area. You should stay in your lane, especially when approaching and within an intersection.
