Alaska: DMV Practice test - Practice Test 3

Stop lines are solid white lines painted across traffic lanes at intersections and pedestrian crosswalks. They indicate the exact location at which approaching drivers must stop.

A regulatory sign displaying a red circle with a red slash through the middle indicates that a specific action is prohibited. U-turns are not permitted where this sign is posted.

Single dashed lines separate lanes of travel where changing lanes is not restricted. White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.

When parking in an uphill direction on a roadway with a curb, turn your front wheels sharply away from the curb. When parking in an uphill direction on a roadway without a curb, turn your front wheels sharply toward the curb.

Yield the right-of-way to the driver on your right at a four-way intersection if you both arrive to the intersection at the same time. You may then proceed when it is safe to do so.

Stopping suddenly can make it difficult for drivers behind you to avoid a rear-end collision. When stopping, release the accelerator to allow your vehicle to slow. Press the brake pedal by applying steady pressure, activating your brake lights and causing the vehicle to stop smoothly.

Large vehicles can cause wind gusts with a force great enough to cause direction changes in smaller vehicles. Drivers of small vehicles should be prepared to take proper corrective steering action when approaching or passing large vehicles that are moving at or near maximum speeds.

This sign indicates that workers may be on or very close to the roadway ahead, so you should take special care when traveling through the area.

To avoid rear-end collisions, it is helpful to look for break lights and other hazards in the traffic ahead of your vehicle. It is recommended that you maintain a following distance of four seconds when driving under ideal conditions.
