#8. What should you expect ahead when you see a warning sign with arrows in a circle pattern?

#12. If you see this sign over your lane:
Lane control signs use an arrow symbol to tell you which direction you can go from each lane. The signs are along the road or hanging over the road. This sign tells you that you can only turn right from this lane.
#13. What does this sign mean?
A yield sign is a downward pointing triangle. It is red and white with red letters. You will see no other signs of this shape on the highway.
Slow down and give vehicles crossing your path the right-of-way. If the way is clear, you may move forward slowly without stopping. Yield signs are usually placed where auxiliary roads lead into major roads.
#14. If you see this sign in front of you, it tells you that:
When you see this sign at roadway openings, do not enter this road. The road is closed to traffic from your direction.
#15. When you see this sign, you should:
Side Road Ahead. Another road enters the road from the direction shown on the sign. Watch out for traffic entering from the side road and oncoming traffic turning.
#16. You approach this sign. What should you do?
There is a traffic signal ahead. Although the traffic signal may not yet be visible, it is close enough to require you to start slowing down. Advance warning signs also are used in high-speed areas because of the longer distance needed to slow down or stop.

If you are far-sighted, to read print up close, you use reading glasses. The vision test uses letters; you are farsighted, so these letters will be blurred. If you use reading glasses, you will be required to wear glasses. You can’t wear reading glasses while driving, as everything at a distance will be blurred. So in fact, there is no recommendation for farsighted persons.
