1Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3A.04, pavement markings shall be which colors?
A.Yellow, white, red, or blue
B.Yellow, white, green, or orange
C.White, yellow, black, or purple
D.White, orange, red, or green
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 Section 3A.04 Standard states that markings shall be yellow, white, red, or blue and shall conform to the standard highway colors. Black may be used only in conjunction with one of those colors as a contrast-enhancing system on light-colored pavement; black itself is not a marking color.
2Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3A.04, white longitudinal lines, when used, shall delineate which of the following?
A.The separation of traffic traveling in opposite directions
B.The left edge of a divided highway or one-way roadway
C.The separation of traffic flows in the same direction and the right edge of the roadway
D.Two-way left-turn lanes only
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3A.04 assigns white longitudinal lines to same-direction lane separation and to the right edge of the roadway. Opposite-direction separation and the left edge of divided or one-way roadways are yellow applications.
3Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3A.04, yellow longitudinal lines, when used, shall delineate all of the following EXCEPT:
A.The separation of traffic traveling in opposite directions
B.The left edge of divided and one-way highways and ramps
C.The right edge of a two-way roadway
D.The separation of two-way left-turn lanes and reversible lanes from other lanes
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3A.04 assigns the right edge of the roadway to a white line. Yellow is reserved for opposite-direction separation, the left edge of divided and one-way facilities, and the edges of two-way left-turn and reversible lanes.
4Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3A.01, a broken longitudinal line indicates which condition?
A.Maximum or special restrictions
B.A permissive condition
C.That crossing is prohibited in both directions
D.Guidance only, never a lane line
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3A.01 lists the general functions of longitudinal lines: a double line indicates maximum or special restrictions, a solid line discourages or prohibits crossing, a broken line indicates a permissive condition, and a dotted line provides guidance.
5Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3A.05, a normal longitudinal line is how wide?
A.50 to 75 mm (2 to 3 in)
B.100 to 150 mm (4 to 6 in)
C.200 to 250 mm (8 to 10 in)
D.300 mm (12 in) only
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3A.05 Standard defines a normal line as 100 to 150 mm (4 to 6 in) wide. A wide line is at least twice the width of a normal line. NMDOT Standard Drawings and Section 704.3.6 use that same 4-inch base width for measurement.
6Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3A.05 Guidance, broken lines should consist of which segment-and-gap pattern?
A.3 m (10 ft) line segments and 9 m (30 ft) gaps
B.2 m (6 ft) line segments and 6 m (20 ft) gaps
C.6 m (20 ft) line segments and 6 m (20 ft) gaps
D.0.6 m (2 ft) line segments and 0.6 m (2 ft) gaps
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3A.05 Guidance states that broken lines should consist of 3 m (10 ft) line segments and 9 m (30 ft) gaps, or dimensions in a similar ratio. NMDOT Section 704.3.6 and the Standard Drawings adopt that 10-foot stripe and 30-foot gap as the standard 40-foot skip cycle.
7Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3B.01, centerline pavement markings, when used, shall be which color?
A.White
B.Yellow
C.White or yellow, contractor's choice
D.Red
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3B.01 Standard states that centerline pavement markings, when used, shall be the markings that delineate the separation of traffic lanes with opposite directions of travel and shall be yellow. White is reserved for same-direction lane lines.
8Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3B.01, two-direction passing-zone centerline markings on a two-lane, two-way roadway consist of which pattern?
A.A normal broken yellow line
B.A normal solid yellow line
C.Two normal solid white lines
D.A normal broken white line
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3B.01 and Figure 3B-1 describe two-direction passing-zone markings as a normal broken yellow line, where crossing the centerline for passing with care is permitted for traffic in either direction. A single solid yellow line is not used as a two-way centerline.
9Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3B.01, one-direction no-passing zone markings consist of which combination?
A.Two normal solid yellow lines
B.A normal broken yellow line and a normal solid yellow line
C.A normal broken white line and a normal solid white line
D.A single solid yellow line centered on the roadway
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3B.01 Standard describes one-direction no-passing markings as a normal broken yellow line and a normal solid yellow line. Passing with care is permitted for traffic adjacent to the broken line and prohibited for traffic adjacent to the solid line.
10Per MUTCD 2003 Section 3B.01, two-direction no-passing zone markings consist of which pattern?
A.Two normal solid yellow lines
B.Two normal broken yellow lines
C.Two normal solid white lines
D.A wide solid yellow line
Explanation: MUTCD 2003 3B.01 Standard describes two-direction no-passing zone markings as two normal solid yellow lines, where crossing the centerline for passing is prohibited for traffic traveling in either direction. That same double-solid-yellow pattern is required on undivided two-way roadways with four or more through lanes.
