Sample turning & signaling questions
How far ahead should you signal a turn on a city street in Nevada?
- A At least 500 feet
- B At least 100 feet
- C At least 300 feet
- D At least 50 feet
Show answer
B. At least 100 feet
Signal at least 100 feet (about 10 car lengths) before a turn on city streets and 300 feet (30 car lengths) on open highways. Higher speeds need more warning.
You are driving on an open highway and plan to turn. How far ahead should you signal?
- A At least 300 feet
- B At least 200 feet
- C At least 100 feet
- D At least 1,000 feet
Show answer
A. At least 300 feet
On open highways signal at least 300 feet (about 30 car lengths) before turning. Traffic is faster there, so others need more time to react.
You are in a lane marked for right turns only. What are you allowed to do from that lane?
- A Turn left if the other lanes are full
- B Only turn right
- C Go straight if the light is green
- D Turn right or go straight
Show answer
B. Only turn right
If a lane is provided only for right turns, enter it only if you are turning right, and do not drive straight through the intersection from it. Get into the correct lane well ahead of time.
Near a grade in Nevada, U-turns are illegal when you have less than how much visibility in both directions?
- A 1,000 feet
- B 500 feet
- C 200 feet

Show answer
B. 500 feet
Nevada forbids U-turns near a grade where there is less than 500 feet of visibility in both directions. Traffic coming over a grade can be on you quickly.
