Georgia Learners Test Intersections and Right-of-Way 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: When entering a public road from a private driveway or alley, you must:
- Slow down and proceed if no car is visible
- Yield to all traffic and pedestrians on the public road (Correct answer)
- Honk to warn other drivers, then proceed
- Stop only if a stop sign is posted at the driveway
Correct answer: Yield to all traffic and pedestrians on the public road
Drivers entering a public road from a private driveway or alley must yield to all traffic and pedestrians already on the roadway.
Question 2: A pedestrian is legally crossing in a marked crosswalk at an intersection. What must you do?
- Slow down and proceed if there is room to pass behind the pedestrian
- Sound your horn to alert the pedestrian and continue
- Stop and yield the entire crosswalk to the pedestrian (Correct answer)
- Proceed if the pedestrian is on the opposite side of the road
Correct answer: Stop and yield the entire crosswalk to the pedestrian
Georgia law requires drivers to stop and yield the entire crosswalk to pedestrians who are lawfully crossing, regardless of which side they are on.
Question 3: When making a right turn at an intersection, you should yield to:
- No one — right turns always have the right-of-way
- Pedestrians crossing in the crosswalk and cyclists in the bike lane (Correct answer)
- Only oncoming vehicles turning left
- Only other vehicles turning right from the opposite side
Correct answer: Pedestrians crossing in the crosswalk and cyclists in the bike lane
When turning right, you must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and any cyclists using the bike lane before completing your turn.
Question 4: An emergency vehicle with flashing lights and siren is approaching an intersection. What must you do?
- Speed up to clear the intersection quickly
- Stop immediately wherever you are, even in the intersection
- Pull over to the right and stop as soon as it is safe to do so (Correct answer)
- Maintain your speed but move slightly to the right
Correct answer: Pull over to the right and stop as soon as it is safe to do so
Georgia law requires drivers to immediately pull over to the right edge of the road and stop, giving the emergency vehicle a clear path.
Question 5: You want to turn left at an intersection where you have a green arrow signal. What does the green arrow mean?
- You must yield to oncoming traffic before turning
- You may turn left; oncoming traffic is stopped by a red signal (Correct answer)
- You may turn left but must yield to pedestrians only
- You must wait until all pedestrians and vehicles clear the intersection
Correct answer: You may turn left; oncoming traffic is stopped by a red signal
A green arrow means you have a protected turn — oncoming traffic is stopped and you may proceed, but still watch for pedestrians legally in the crosswalk.
Question 6: A police officer at an intersection signals you to stop even though the traffic light is green. What should you do?
- Obey the traffic light — it is controlled by automatic sensors
- Obey the police officer's directions (Correct answer)
- Slow down but proceed through on the green light
- Stop only if the officer is directly in front of your vehicle
Correct answer: Obey the police officer's directions
A police officer's directions always take precedence over traffic signals, signs, or pavement markings.
Question 7: When approaching a yield sign at an intersection, you must:
- Come to a complete stop before proceeding
- Slow down and yield to traffic that has the right-of-way, stopping if necessary (Correct answer)
- Proceed without stopping if you see no hazard
- Flash your headlights to warn cross traffic
Correct answer: Slow down and yield to traffic that has the right-of-way, stopping if necessary
A yield sign requires you to slow down and give the right-of-way to approaching traffic; you must stop completely if necessary to avoid a conflict.
