Topic 3 · Rules of the Road: Traffic Laws in California
A limit line at an intersection is:
- The line marking the edge of the roadway
- The line separating the turn lane from the through lane
- The wide white line showing where to stop before the intersection or crosswalk — correct answer
Why
If there is no limit line you stop before the crosswalk; if there is no crosswalk either, you stop before entering the intersection. (Section 6, Right Turns.)
Practise this in the real format
Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
