Georgia DMV Permit SG
What do the three most basic traffic laws require drivers to do? - answer1. Obey traffic
control devices (lights and signs)
2. Obey the traffic directions of a law enforcement officer or firefighter, even if it goes
against what the traffic control devices tell you to do
3. Never drive on a roadway that has been closed for construction, for the purpose of a
special event, or for any other official reason.
When traveling on a roadway that intersects with another roadway, if you are faced with
a stop sign, but other traffic is not, what must you do? - answerYou may proceed only
after stopping and yielding the right-of-way to any other vehicle or pedestrian either in
the intersection, or so close to the intersection as to make it dangerous to travel through
the intersection
At intersections where there are no stop signs, yield signs or other traffic signals, if two
vehicles come to the intersection at the same time, what must the driver do? -
answerThe driver of the vehicle on the left must yield to the driver of the vehicle on the
right.
At a four-way intersection where all drivers are faced with stop signs, what must all
drivers do? - answerAll drivers must yield to pedestrians; otherwise the vehicles should
proceed through the intersection in a "first to arrive, first to proceed order." If two
vehicles reach the intersection at approximately the same time, yield to any vehicles on
your right.
What are three important things to remember about using/applying the laws governing
right of-way? - answer1. Take your turn when it comes if it is safe to do so; do not
unnecessarily delay traffic
2. If another driver tries to take your turn, even if you have the right-of-way, let the other
driver proceed. It might prevent a traffic crash
3. Care, courtesy and common sense should govern your actions.
When making a left turn at an intersection, or into an alley or driveway, you must do
what? - answerYield the right of-way to all traffic coming from the opposite direction.
When approaching a yield sign, you must do what? - answerSlow down to a safe speed
and be prepared to stop. If necessary, stop and only proceed when it is safe to do so.
When the roadway you are traveling on is merging into other traffic without stopping,
you need to do what? - answerAdjust your speed and vehicle position to allow you to
, merge into the new lane safely. If traffic from another roadway is merging into the
roadway you are traveling on, safely change lanes away from the merging traffic if
possible. If it is not possible to change lanes away from the merging traffic, adjust your
speed and vehicle position to safely allow the traffic to merge.
At intersections with traffic control lights, what must you do? - answerWait until the
intersection is clear of traffic or approaching traffic before entering. Do not proceed "just
because" you have the green light.
If you are about to enter or cross a highway from an alley, private road or highway, you
must do what? - answerStop and yield the right-of-way to all other pedestrians and
vehicles already traveling on the roadway or sidewalk you are entering or crossing.
If emergency vehicles are using their emergency lights (blue or red) and sirens, you
must do what? - answerSafely maneuver your vehicle out of their way. You should slow
your vehicle and move over to the shoulder of the road, or if that is not possible, as far
to the right of the roadway or lane as you can, and stop. You should always use caution
to ensure that you do not endanger other motorists, bicyclists, or pedestrians while
doing so. Do not position your vehicle so that it blocks an intersection or otherwise
prevents the emergency vehicle from making a necessary turn.
Who must you yield to in a construction zone? - answerYield to all highway
maintenance vehicles and workers in a construction zone.
Unless a sign posted at that intersection prohibits doing so, what is permissible to do
what? - answerIt is permissible to make a "right turn on red" at an intersection controlled
by a traffic control light. You may proceed only after making a complete stop, yielding to
all traffic and pedestrians, and making the determination that you can safely complete
the turn.
Unless a sign posted at that intersection prohibits doing so, it is permissible to do what?
- answerIt is permissible to make a "left turn on red" from the left lane of a one way
street onto a one-way street on which the traffic moves toward the driver's left. You may
proceed only after making a complete stop, yielding to all traffic and stopping for
pedestrians, and making the determination that you can safely complete the turn.
When a school bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children, the driver of the bus
will activate flashing yellow lights. When these flashing yellow lights are activated, what
must all drivers do? - answerAll drivers approaching the school bus should slow down
and be prepared to stop. All drivers should pay special attention to children who may be
walking along or crossing the roadway. Once the flashing lights have turned red and the
stop signs have extended from the side of the bus, it is unlawful for any vehicle to pass
the stopped school bus while it is loading or unloading passengers. On a highway
divided by a median, cars traveling on the opposite side from the stopped school bus
are not required to stop, however drivers should remain attentive for children walking
along or crossing the roadway.
