Answer key
- 1. End of the 60 km/h zone or that speed is prohibited — Depending on context, regulatory speed signs set the maximum; a slashed version marks the end of that limit.
- 2. A steep hill (grade) ahead — This sign warns of a steep downgrade; trucks and other vehicles should check brakes and gear down.
- 3. The road divides ahead (divided highway begins) — This sign warns that the road becomes a divided highway with a median ahead.
- 4. No passing / do not overtake — This regulatory sign prohibits passing other vehicles in that section of road.
- 5. The road narrows over a bridge ahead — This warning sign tells you the bridge ahead is narrow; be cautious of oncoming traffic.
- 6. A stop is required ahead at the intersection — Stop-ahead markings and signs warn that a stop sign or signal is coming up.
- 7. Pass to the right of the divider or obstacle — A keep-right sign directs you to pass on the right side of a traffic island, median, or obstacle.
- 8. Come to a full stop, then proceed when the way is clear — A flashing red light means the same as a stop sign: come to a complete stop, then proceed when it is safe (MTO Driver's Handbook).
- 9. Before entering the intersection, at the point nearest the cross street — Stop before entering the intersection at the point nearest the crossroad where you have a clear view.
- 10. 50 km/h — Within a city, town or village the default limit is 50 km/h unless signs say otherwise.
- 11. Continue without stopping but with caution — On a divided road, only traffic behind the bus must stop; oncoming traffic separated by a median does not stop but should drive carefully.
- 12. Passing is not permitted in your direction — A solid yellow line on your side means passing is prohibited for traffic in your direction.
- 13. From the right lane into the right lane of the cross street — Turn right from the right-hand lane into the right-hand lane of the road you are entering.
- 14. Yes, from a one-way street onto a one-way street, after stopping, when clear — A left turn on red is allowed only from a one-way street onto another one-way street, after a complete stop, when the way is clear.

- 21. Within 3 metres — You must not park within 3 metres of a fire hydrant.
- 22. Low-beam headlights — Use low beams in fog; high beams reflect off the fog and reduce visibility further.
