Practice question

How can you tell if you are driving on a one-way street?

  1. Check for signs indicating direction
  2. Look for one-way traffic lights
  3. Children playing on the street
  4. There are no markings on the road

Answer: A — Check for signs indicating direction

To determine if you are driving on a one-way street, checking for signs indicating direction is essential. One-way street signs are typically placed at the beginning of the street and sometimes along the road to inform drivers about the correct direction of traffic flow. These signs are critical for ensuring safe navigation and preventing accidents that can occur from driving against oncoming traffic. While one-way traffic lights and children playing on the street may provide context regarding the environment, they are not definitive indicators of a one-way street. Similarly, the absence of road markings does not provide information about traffic direction. Thus, relying on official signage is the most reliable method for assessing whether a street is one-way or not.
