Traffic laws

Most rules questions come down to three things: default speed limits, who yields, and what to do around buses and emergency vehicles.

Default speed limits

School zone 15–20 · business/residential 30 · rural road 55 · limited-access highway 65 · rural interstate 70.

Who yields

At a 4-way stop, first to arrive goes; if simultaneous, yield to the driver on your right. Left turns yield to oncoming traffic. Entering a roundabout, yield to traffic in the circle.

School buses

Red lights flashing on a two-way road: everyone stops. Divided highway with a raised median: only traffic behind the bus stops.

Move Over Law

Move one lane away from a stopped emergency, tow or utility vehicle. If you cannot, slow to 20 mph below the limit.

Signals and turns

Signal at least 100 feet before turning. Right on red is legal after a full stop unless posted otherwise.

Parking limits

No parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on a crosswalk, on a sidewalk, or in front of a driveway.
