You may turn right on red after a complete stop, yielding to cross traffic and pedestrians, unless a 'No Turn on Red' sign is posted.

- Honk to alert the procession you are present
Correct answer: Yield to the entire procession and allow it to pass before entering the intersection
In Kansas, you must yield the right-of-way to a funeral procession; do not cut into or interfere with the procession even if you have a green light.
Question 6: Two vehicles are at a stop sign at the same intersection. Vehicle A is going straight; Vehicle B is turning left. Who goes first?
- Vehicle B, because it arrived first
- Vehicle A, because going straight has priority over turning left (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Vehicle A, because going straight has priority over turning left
Vehicles going straight generally have the right-of-way over vehicles turning left at the same intersection.

- Flash your headlights as a warning and proceed
