What do you do when…. when making a right turn on a red light after a stop? you stop where there is a stop sign or flashing red signal? making a left turn on a red light? you reach an uncontrolled intersection ? two vehicles on different roadways reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time?

making a left-hand turn at a traffic signal? approaching a MERGE sign? emerging from an alley, building, private road or driveway ? approaching emergency vehicles using audible and visual signals? What do you do when….

Changing Lanes Moving from right-hand lane to left-hand lane – turn your head to check traffic behind you and on your left (BLIND SPOT) – Give the left turn signal – See car you’re passing in review mirror – then carefully move into the left lane.

Parking Uphill – Up, up and away – Away from the curb – Roll into the curb to stop Downhill – Down and in – Tires into the curb – Roll into the curb to stop

Sharing the Road with…. Trucks stay out of its "blind spots". Large vehicles make wide right turns. Size and weight affect a vehicle’s ability to maneuver and stop. Passing – flash lights (night) – Driver will help staying far right – Don’t stay next to large trucks

Motorcycles Same rights and responsibilities 50 % of all motorcycle collisions occur at intersections Most common cause of collisions is the failure to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic Do not share the lane

Allow at least three to four seconds following distance to move in case of emergency Can stop in a shorter distance than a car. React differently to traffic, weather and road conditions than cars (wind, pot holes, gravel) Motorcycles (continued)

Bicycles Travel in the same direction as vehicles Drivers must yield the right-of-way as they would to another car After parking and before opening vehicle doors check for bicyclists. When making a right turn and a bike is approaching – Bike goes first.
