PASSING
I '
Pavement markings add to traffic signs and signals.
They give information to drivers without taking
attention from the roadway. A solid yellow line on your
side of the road or lane means "don't cross."
Your Own Signals
. .
Drivers signal to others, too. It's not only mare polite,
it's safer to let other drivers know what you are doing.
And in some places the law requires iver si.gnals.
L .
. .
Turn and lane change signals. Always signal: when you
plan to turn or change lanes.
If necessary, you can use hand signals out the window:
Left arm straight out for a left turn, down for slow or
about-to-stop, and up for a right turn.
Slowing down. If time allows, tap the brake pedal once
or twice in advance of slowing or stopping. This warns
the driver behind you.
Disabled. Your four-way flashers signal that your
vehicle is disabled or is a hazard. See "Hazard Warning
Flashers" in the Index.
Traffic Officer
The traffic police officer is also a source of important
information. The officer's signals govern, no matter
what the traffic lights or other signs say.
The next section discusses some of the Toad conditions
you may encounter.
