Report a problemIn Nevada, when a school-zone flashing beacon is active or children are present, the maximum speed limit is:
- A. 15 mph
- B. 20 mph
- C. 25 mph
- D. Same as the adjacent roadway
Show answer
A. 15 mph — Nevada school zones are posted at 15 mph when a flashing beacon is active or when children are present or crossing — one of the lower school-zone limits in the US. All drivers must stop for school buses with flashing red lights from both directions on undivided roads; on divided highways, only same-direction traffic must stop. Nevada's school-zone speed cameras are active in some districts.

Report a problemWhat is the maximum speed limit on Nevada's rural interstate highways?
- A. 80 mph
- B. 75 mph
- C. 70 mph
- D. 65 mph
Show answer
A. 80 mph — Nevada allows 80 mph on rural interstates — one of the highest in the nation. I-80 across northern Nevada and sections of I-15 and US-93 reflect these high limits. Urban interstates in Las Vegas (I-15, I-215) are typically 65 mph. Nevada's vast open desert terrain, long sight distances, and low traffic density support higher speeds in rural areas. However, desert conditions — blowing dust, flash floods, and extreme heat affecting tires — can require speeds far below posted limits.

Report a problemIn Nevada, when a pedestrian is crossing at a marked crosswalk, drivers must:
- A. Yield only if the pedestrian is in the driver's lane
- B. Stop and remain stopped until the pedestrian has completely crossed
- C. Proceed slowly and allow the pedestrian to step aside
- D. Honk to alert the pedestrian to move faster
Show answer
B. Stop and remain stopped until the pedestrian has completely crossed — Nevada law requires drivers to stop and remain stopped at crosswalks until the pedestrian has completely cleared the driver's lane and the adjacent lane — not just the driver's lane.

Report a problemOn Nevada's Interstate highways, the left lane is designated for:
- A. Emergency vehicles responding to calls
- B. Any traffic at the posted speed limit
- C. Carpools and high-occupancy vehicles
- D. Passing and faster-moving traffic only
Show answer
D. Passing and faster-moving traffic only — Nevada law requires that the left lane be used only for passing on interstate highways. Slower drivers must keep right to avoid impeding traffic flow and risking road rage incidents.
