Steady signal lights — Nevada Permit Test
Steady signal lights on the Nevada permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
At a red light with no stop line or crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection.
Rolling into the intersection on red puts your car in the path of the cross traffic that has the green.
If there is no stop line or crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection.
If a steady yellow light comes on while you are already in the intersection, keep moving and clear it safely.
Stopping dead in the middle leaves you there when the cross traffic gets its green.
If they are already in the intersection, they should continue moving and clear it safely.
A green light means drivers may go straight ahead, turn right or turn left unless a sign forbids the turn.
A driver who turns where a sign forbids it can cut across a lane of cars that were never told to stop.
A green light means drivers may go straight ahead, turn right or turn left unless a sign forbids the turn.
On the test
Where must you stop for a red light when there is no stop line or crosswalk?
Before entering the intersection. Rolling into the intersection on red puts your car in the path of the cross traffic that has the green. Nevada Driver Handbook, p.30: “If there is no stop line or crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
