  • Roundabout vs. calming circle: both are counterclockwise. A roundabout always has yield-on-entry; a calming circle may have stop signs, yield signs or nothing, so use normal intersection rules.
    环岛与交通缓行环岛:都逆时针行驶。环岛进入时必须让行;缓行环岛可能有停车标志、让行标志或没有标志,按普通路口规则处理。
    Glorieta frente a rotonda para calmar el tráfico: ambas son en sentido contrario a las manecillas del reloj. Una glorieta siempre tiene ceda el paso en la entrada; una rotonda puede tener señales de alto, señales de ceda el paso o carecer de señales, así que aplique las reglas normales de una intersección.

Sample questions例题Preguntas de muestra

Four-way intersection with white stop lines on every approach and a traffic signal for your approach showing a lit green light, with the red and yellow lights dark. Your blue car (YOU) is at the bottom stop line with a dashed arrow curving to the left. Car A approaches from the top, facing you, with a dashed arrow pointing straight down toward you.YOU您TÚA
Q1
Your light is green and you want to turn left, as shown. Car A is approaching from the opposite direction but is far enough away that you could turn ahead of it. However, traffic on the street you are turning onto is backed up all the way to the intersection, so there is no room for your car beyond the crosswalk. Should you start the turn now?
如图所示,您的信号灯是绿灯,您想左转。A车从对向驶来,但距离足够远,您可以在它之前转过去。然而,您要转入的那条街上的车流已经一直堵到了交叉路口,人行横道以外没有容纳您车辆的空间。您现在应该开始转弯吗?
Su semáforo está en verde y usted quiere girar a la izquierda, como se muestra. El auto A se aproxima desde la dirección opuesta pero está lo bastante lejos para que usted pueda girar antes que él. Sin embargo, el tráfico de la calle a la que va a girar está detenido hasta la intersección, así que no hay espacio para su auto más allá del cruce peatonal. ¿Debe iniciar el giro ahora?
