CDL · Passenger vehicles
In which situation may a bus driver skip a full stop, provided they slow down and look carefully for other traffic?
Correct answer: At a crossing with streetcar tracks.
Answer options
- AWhere a flagger is signaling you to stop
- BAt a crossing with streetcar tracks Correct
- CAt a traffic signal showing red
Why
Streetcar crossings do not require a full stop, but you must reduce speed and check carefully for other vehicles before going across. A red signal or a flagger's stop signal always means you must stop completely.
