Correct answer: Turn with caution after yielding; the turn is not protected

A flashing yellow arrow permits the turn, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, who may have a green light.

Correct answer: A protected turn; oncoming traffic is stopped

A steady green arrow gives a protected turn because oncoming traffic faces a red light.

Correct answer: They separate traffic moving in opposite directions

Yellow lines divide traffic traveling in opposite directions and mark the left edge of divided highways and ramps.

Correct answer: No, passing is not allowed in either direction

Double solid yellow lines prohibit passing in both directions even without a NO PASSING sign (the manual allows crossing them only to give a bicyclist 4 feet when safe).
