- D Whenever the road ahead looks clear

When a solid and a broken yellow line separate opposing lanes, you may pass only if the broken line is nearest your lane. A solid yellow line on your side marks a no-passing zone.
You drive past a crash where a stopped ambulance has its lights flashing. Illinois law bans taking photos and using a phone, except in certain circumstances, within how many feet of an emergency scene like this?
- A 500 feet
- B 100 feet
- C 1,000 feet
- D 200 feet
Show answer
A. 500 feet
Illinois prohibits photography and phone use within 500 feet of an emergency scene, except in certain circumstances. An emergency scene is a place where a stopped authorized vehicle has its flashing lights on. Looking at the scene or your phone instead of the road puts responders working near traffic at risk.
