  • The guide lists "three or more lanes" and "separated by a median or barrier" as bullets; state law (RCW 46.61.370) treats either condition as enough. Practice questions use cases where both readings agree.
    手册将“三条及以上车道”和“由隔离带或护栏分隔”列为两个要点;州法律(RCW 46.61.370)规定满足其一即可。练习题只使用两种理解结论一致的情形。
    La guía enumera "tres o más carriles" y "separados por un camellón o una barrera" como viñetas; la ley estatal (RCW 46.61.370) considera suficiente cualquiera de las dos condiciones. Las preguntas de práctica usan casos en los que ambas lecturas coinciden.
