   Show answer

   A. Come to a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk, and yield to approaching traffic and pedestrians Minnesota traffic laws require drivers approaching a red octagonal stop sign to come to a complete stop before entering the crosswalk or intersection. Drivers must remain stopped until all crossing pedestrians and oncoming vehicles with the right of way have cleared. Rolling through without stopping is a moving violation.

2. Q2Road signs

   What does a red and white downward-pointing triangular sign require of a driver in Minnesota?

   1. ASlow down to a reasonable speed and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians already on the roadway
   2. BMaintain your current travel speed while aggressively merging into the nearest lane of moving traffic
   3. CSpeed up to match highway traffic velocity before entering the roadway from an on-ramp or side street
   4. DCome to an immediate complete stop regardless of whether any approaching vehicles or pedestrians are present under normal dry pavement conditions on public highways
   Show answer

   A. Slow down to a reasonable speed and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians already on the roadway A red and white triangular yield sign instructs drivers to slow down to a safe, reasonable speed and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and oncoming vehicles. Drivers must be prepared to stop completely if necessary to allow cross traffic or pedestrians to pass safely before entering. Wait until there is a clear gap in traffic before you proceed into the intersection or merge.

3. Q3Intersections and turns

   Under Minnesota law, when two vehicles reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, which driver must yield?

   1. AThe driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right
   2. BThe larger or heavier vehicle always has statutory right-of-way over smaller passenger cars
   3. CThe driver on the right must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the left
   4. DThe vehicle traveling at a higher speed has the right-of-way through the intersection
   Show answer

   A. The driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right Minnesota traffic statutes specify that when two vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at approximately the same time, the driver on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right. Both drivers should approach uncontrolled intersections at a reduced speed and prepare to yield or stop to avoid collisions.
