Nova Scotia learner's knowledge test: practice questions

Try three questions

Three questions from the Canada (Nova Scotia) bank, as you'll see them in the app.

1. You stop behind a car that is waiting at a stop sign. When you reach the sign, you must:

   1. go ahead, since you have already stopped once behind it
   2. roll through the stop sign if the way is clear ahead
   3. follow the car ahead through the intersection at once
   4. stop again, since stopping behind a car does not count
   Show the answer

   Answer: stop again, since stopping behind a car does not count

   A driver may need to stop more than once to see traffic and yield properly. Using the Road Regulations, s. 40.

2. Facing uphill beside a curb, you should park with the front wheels turned:

   1. away from the curb, and set the parking brake
   2. toward the curb, so the car rests against it
   3. straight ahead, to keep the tires aligned
   4. toward the middle of the road, away from parked cars
   Show the answer

   Answer: away from the curb, and set the parking brake

   Where there is no curb, the wheels are turned to the closest side of the road. Using the Road Regulations, s. 146.

3. A crossing guard stands in the crosswalk with a stop paddle displayed. How must you stop?

   1. No closer than 2 metres, and go once the children pass your lane
   2. No closer than 10 metres, and wait only while children are on the road
   3. No closer than 5 metres, and go when the road looks clear again
   4. No closer than 5 metres, and stay stopped while the paddle is displayed
   Show the answer

   Answer: No closer than 5 metres, and stay stopped while the paddle is displayed

   The guard must see that all approaching vehicles have stopped before leading children across. Traffic Safety Act, s. 34.
