DOMAIN 1: Texas Traffic Laws & Rules of the Road (10 Questions)
Question 1 (Multiple-Choice)
You arrive at a four-way stop at the same time as another vehicle to your right. Who has the
right-of-way?
A. You, because you arrived first
B. The vehicle to your right
C. The larger vehicle
D. Whoever honks their horn first
[CORRECT: B]
Rationale: At a four-way stop, the vehicle that arrives first proceeds first. If two vehicles arrive
at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. If vehicles arrive opposite each
other, the one going straight or turning right has the right-of-way over the one turning left. This
rule is codified in the Texas Transportation Code §545.151 and prevents collisions at
uncontrolled intersections.
Question 2 (True/False)
At a four-way stop, if two vehicles arrive at the same time and are facing each other, the driver
turning left must yield to the driver going straight or turning right.
[CORRECT: TRUE]
Rationale: Per Texas Transportation Code §545.151, when two vehicles approach an
intersection at the same time from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to any
vehicle approaching from the opposite direction that is going straight or turning right. This rule
ensures predictable traffic flow and reduces T-bone collisions at intersections. Left-turning
drivers must always ensure the intersection is clear before proceeding.
,Question 3 (Multiple-Choice)
You are turning left onto a cross-street from a stop sign. A vehicle is approaching from the
opposite direction. What must you do?
A. Accelerate quickly to beat the oncoming vehicle
B. Yield to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians before completing your turn
C. Honk your horn to alert the other driver to stop
D. Turn immediately since you have the right-of-way at a stop sign
[CORRECT: B]
Rationale: When turning left at an intersection, Texas law requires you to yield to all oncoming
traffic and pedestrians before completing the turn. Left turns are among the most dangerous
maneuvers because they require crossing opposing traffic lanes. You must ensure there is
adequate time and space to complete the turn safely. Failure to yield to oncoming traffic is a
common cause of intersection collisions and traffic citations under Texas Transportation Code
§545.152.
Question 4 (SATA)
Which actions are required by the Texas "Move Over or Slow Down" Law when approaching a
stationary emergency vehicle with flashing lights on a highway with a posted speed limit of 70
mph? (Select all that apply.)
A. Vacate the lane closest to the emergency vehicle if it is safe to do so
B. If unable to change lanes, slow to 20 mph below the posted speed limit (50 mph)
C. Speed up to pass the emergency vehicle quickly
D. Maintain your current speed and lane position
E. Slow to a speed that is safe for the conditions if the posted limit is below 25 mph
[CORRECT: A, B, E]
Rationale: Texas Transportation Code §545.157 requires drivers to: vacate the lane closest to a
stationary emergency vehicle (A); or if unable to change lanes safely, slow to 20 mph below the
posted speed limit (B); or if the posted limit is 25 mph or less, slow to 5 mph (E). This law
protects emergency responders, tow truck operators, and utility workers. Violations are criminal
offenses, and striking a worker can result in felony charges.
Question 5 (True/False)
, Under Texas law, failing to move over or slow down for a stationary emergency vehicle with
flashing lights is a criminal offense, and striking a worker can result in felony charges.
[CORRECT: TRUE]
Rationale: The Texas "Move Over or Slow Down" Law (Transportation Code §545.157) makes
failure to comply a criminal offense punishable by fines up to $2,000. If the violation results in
bodily injury, the fine increases to $4,000, and if a worker is killed, the driver can face felony
charges with imprisonment. This law applies to emergency vehicles, tow trucks, and utility
vehicles with flashing lights. The law exists because roadside workers face extreme danger from
passing traffic.
Question 6 (Multiple-Choice)
The posted speed limit in a designated Texas school zone when children are present is:
A. 15 mph
B. 20 mph
C. 25 mph
D. 30 mph
[CORRECT: B]
Rationale: Texas school zones typically have a posted speed limit of 20 mph during times when
children are present (arrival, dismissal, lunch periods, or when school activity is visible). Some
school zones may have different posted limits, but 20 mph is the standard. Fines for speeding in
a school zone are significantly enhanced—often double the normal fine. Drivers must remain
vigilant for children crossing streets and obey crossing guard signals.
Question 7 (Multiple-Choice)
The maximum posted speed limit on an urban interstate highway in Texas is:
A. 55 mph
B. 65 mph
C. 70 mph
D. 75 mph
[CORRECT: C]
Rationale: The maximum posted speed limit on an urban interstate highway in Texas is 70 mph.
Rural interstates may have posted limits of 75 or 80 mph in certain areas. Urban areas have
lower limits due to higher traffic density, more frequent interchanges, and increased pedestrian
