Correct answer: D – Traffic moving in opposite directions
Yellow pavement lines are used between lanes carrying traffic in opposite directions. A dashed yellow line may permit passing when the opposing lane is clear. Solid yellow markings restrict passing, although a driver may cross a solid yellow line to turn when a safe gap exists.

Correct answer: C – About three to four seconds
The handbook recommends a three- to four-second following interval behind a motorcycle, scooter, or moped. More space should be allowed in wet conditions. State law also requires every driver to maintain a following distance that is reasonable and prudent for the speed, traffic, and highway conditions.

Correct answer: B – Slow down, look and listen, and be prepared to stop
Many passive railroad crossings have only warning signs and a crossbuck. Slow down, look in both directions, listen, and be prepared to stop before crossing. A stop is required 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail when a train is plainly visible and hazardously close or gives an audible warning and presents an immediate hazard.

Correct answer: A – An access aisle beside or between accessible parking spaces
An access aisle beside or between designated accessible parking spaces is not a parking space. Kansas law prohibits stopping, standing, parking in, or blocking such an aisle, subject to limited statutory exceptions. A violation is an unclassified misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $50 to $100.

Correct answer: B – Divided highway ends ahead
This sign warns that the divided highway ends ahead. The median or other physical divider separating opposing traffic will no longer continue. Drivers should be prepared for an undivided roadway carrying traffic in both directions.

Correct answer: D – Stop, then proceed when right-of-way rules permit
A flashing red signal requires a complete stop at the stop line, before the near crosswalk, or at the nearest point with a view of intersecting traffic. After stopping, the same right-of-way rules used at a stop sign apply. Proceed only when the movement can be made safely.
