Question 8
Why does the center island of a roundabout have an apron?
To carry the rear wheels of large trucks
For emergency parking when a car breaks down
As a safe place for pedestrians to cross over
As a passing lane for getting around slow cars

Roundabouts accommodate truck combinations; the apron on the center island takes the rear wheels of large vehicles.

Question 9
Why might a tractor-trailer swing left before making a right turn?
The driver is changing lanes before the turn
Its rear wheels track inside the front wheels
It is about to make a U-turn in the intersection
State law requires trucks to turn right from the left lane
Correct answer: Its rear wheels track inside the front wheels
Rear wheels track inside the front wheels, so long trucks often swing left first; check signals before passing on the right.
