Sample highways & freeways questions
Where should you slow down when leaving an interstate?
- A In the right travel lane before the exit
- B On the shoulder before the ramp
- C In the left lane, then cross over
- D In the deceleration lane
Show answer
D. In the deceleration lane
Never slow down on the interstate itself. Wait until you are in the deceleration lane, then brake gently until you match the posted exit ramp speed.
You missed your exit on the interstate. What should you do?
- A Use a median crossover to turn back
- B Back up along the shoulder
- C Make a U-turn when traffic clears
- D Go to the next exit and turn around
Show answer
D. Go to the next exit and turn around
Never make a U-turn on an interstate. Continue to the next exit to turn around, since median crossovers are for police and emergency vehicles only.
Your car breaks down on the interstate and you have flares. Where should you place them?
- A One about a car length behind, another about 300 feet back
- B One in front and one beside the car
- C Both flares directly behind the rear bumper, side by side
- D One 50 feet back in the travel lane
Show answer
A. One about a car length behind, another about 300 feet back
Put one flare about one vehicle length behind your car and another about 300 feet back, on the shoulder near the edge of the through lane. Turn on your four-way flashers and get everyone away from the road.
On an interstate, how will you usually know that a through lane is about to end at an exit or fork?
- A A flashing red light over the lane
- B A white diamond painted on the pavement of the ending lane
- C A black and yellow panel below the green overhead sign
- D A blue sign on the right shoulder
Show answer
C. A black and yellow panel below the green overhead sign
Where a through lane is removed, the change usually happens at an exit or fork and is shown by a black and yellow panel below the green and white overhead guide sign. Move over early when you see it.
