Sample question from test 4
signs
What should a driver expect after seeing this Signal Ahead warning?
- Stop lights ahead and a need to be ready to slow or stop
- A permanent closure of the roadway
- A railroad gate that must be crossed without stopping
- A lane reserved only for motorcycles
Answer: Stop lights ahead and a need to be ready to slow or stop. Signal Ahead warns that stop lights are ahead. The driver should be ready to slow down and stop as the intersection approaches. A road closure, railroad gate, or motorcycle-only lane is not part of this warning's meaning. The first choice combines both parts of the handbook instruction: identify the upcoming traffic signal and prepare for its control. Start checking the traffic pattern early, especially if a curve or hill limits your view, so a changing light does not force harsh braking.
