Sample Practice Questions for Sharing the Road (Pedestrians, Trucks & Bicycles)

1. Question 1Ref: MTO Handbook — Sharing the road — School buses

   When a school bus with flashing red lights is stopped on your side of a divided road, you must:

   AHonk for the childrenBContinue if no children are visibleCPass slowlyDStop and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing
   Show Answer & Explanation

   Correct Answer
   D. Stop and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing

   A school bus stopped with alternating red flashing lights requires traffic to stop until the lights cease flashing, regardless of whether you can see children. On a physically divided highway, rules can differ by configuration, but the safe and legal habit is to stop when the bus signals loading or unloading. Failing to stop endangers students and carries heavy fines and demerit points.

2. Question 2Ref: MTO Handbook — Sharing the road — Cyclists

   A cyclist is riding near the right edge of the lane ahead of you. You should:

   ASqueeze past immediatelyBWait until you can leave at least one metre of space, then passCForce them onto the sidewalkDTailgate until they move
   Show Answer & Explanation

   Correct Answer
   B. Wait until you can leave at least one metre of space, then pass

   Cyclists are vehicles with the same right to use the road. Pass only when it is safe to give roughly a metre of clearance (more at higher speeds), signal, and return to your lane without cutting them off. Do not require them to use a sidewalk. Patience and space prevent dooring and right-hook crashes at intersections.
