Saskatchewan Class 7: Traffic signs and signals

Question 1

At a rural intersection, what do three reflective triangular delineators classify?

Accepted Answer

A highway, grid road or major street. Three delineators identify the higher road group, including provincial and public highways, community access roads, grid roads and major streets.

Question 2

Which road group is identified by two triangular delineators?

Accepted Answer

Main farm access or improved all-weather roads. Two delineators also cover intermediate urban streets; the three- and one-delineator groups have different classifications.

Question 3

A sign post carries one triangular crossroad delineator. Which classification does it indicate?

Accepted Answer

Minor rural roads or local urban streets. One delineator marks the remaining minor rural and local urban roads.

Question 4

On the airport guide sign, what does the plane’s orientation indicate?

Accepted Answer

The direction toward the airport. The plane symbol points the way to the airport; it is not an aircraft or weather warning.

Question 5

A work zone has a posted reduced speed but no worker is beside your car. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Keep to the posted work-zone speed. The posted work-zone limit applies throughout the zone, not only next to a worker.

Question 6

At a railway crossing without gates, red lights keep flashing after you stop. What does Saskatchewan’s handbook permit?

Accepted Answer

Crossing if it is safe. At ungated crossings the guide permits proceeding after stopping if safe; a closely approaching train or a signal person’s stop direction requires waiting.

Question 7

A railway gate remains down after the train passes. May you go around it?

Accepted Answer

No, wait for it to rise. Going around a lowered gate is prohibited, even if the train you saw has passed.

Question 8

You are in the outside lane of a double right-turn lane at a red light, with no turn prohibition. May you turn?

Accepted Answer

Yes, after stopping and yielding. Saskatchewan permits the outside right-turn lane to turn on red after a stop and yielding; use extra care.

Question 9

At a signal-controlled intersection, when may you make a U-turn?

Accepted Answer

When a sign permits it. Traffic lights prohibit a U-turn unless a sign expressly permits it.

Question 10

What action does a flashing red signal require before proceeding safely?

Accepted Answer

A full stop. Stop first, then continue only when safe; it does not require waiting for a green phase.

Question 11

What must you do at this sign?

Accepted Answer

Stop completely. The red eight-sided sign requires a complete stop and a clear way before continuing.

Question 12

What does this triangular sign require?

Accepted Answer

Give way. Reduce speed and give priority to traffic in or near the intersection, stopping when needed.

Question 13

What does the red circle with a white bar tell you?

Accepted Answer

Do not enter. This sign prohibits entry from the direction you are approaching.

Question 14

Which instruction does this sign give?

Accepted Answer

Pass on the right. Travel to the right of the traffic island or obstruction shown by this sign.

Question 15

What does the number on this sign mean?

Accepted Answer

Maximum speed in ideal conditions. The number sets the upper speed limit for ideal conditions, rather than a minimum or an advisory speed.

Question 16

What do the opposing arrows on this sign indicate?

Accepted Answer

Two-way traffic. The arrows identify a road carrying traffic in opposite directions.

Question 17

What is this yellow sign warning you about?

Accepted Answer

A stop sign ahead. The small red octagon warns that a stop sign is coming up.

Question 18

What lies ahead when you see this warning sign?

Accepted Answer

Traffic lights. The red, yellow and green circles warn of traffic signals ahead, where you may need to stop.

Question 19

What road condition does this symbol warn of?

Accepted Answer

An uneven surface. This warning identifies a bump or rough section of road ahead.

Question 20

What change in the road does this sign warn of?

Accepted Answer

Less road width ahead. The road ahead is narrower than the section you are currently using.

Question 21

What does this sign tell you about the joining road?

Accepted Answer

It continues as another lane. The roads join while keeping separate lanes, so a merging movement is not required.

Question 22

What service does this symbol identify?

Accepted Answer

Food. The eating-utensil symbol identifies food services.
