1. You hold an Alaska instruction permit and want to practice in the family car. Who must be with you?
- A Any licensed driver, no matter their age
- B A licensed driver at least 18 years old, seated anywhere in the car
- C A parent only, and only during daylight hours
- D A licensed driver at least 21 years old with a year of experience in that class of vehicle, seated beside you
Correct answer: D. Alaska requires a coach who is 21 or older with at least a year of experience in that vehicle class, and in a car that coach must sit in the seat beside you. Remember it as twenty-one, one year, one seat over.
2. How long is an Alaska non-commercial instruction permit valid, and how many times can it be renewed?
- A One year, renewable twice
- B Six months, renewable any number of times
- C Five years, never renewable
- D Two years, renewable one time
Correct answer: D. Alaska issues the permit for two years and allows exactly one renewal, so a learner who stalls can run out of permit. Practice steadily rather than counting on repeat renewals: two years, one renewal, no more.
3. You are 16 and want an Alaska provisional license. How long must you have held a valid instruction permit first?
- A 30 days
- B Three months
- C Six months
- D One full year
Correct answer: C. Alaska makes 16- and 17-year-olds hold a valid permit six months before the DMV issues a provisional Class D license, and a traffic conviction during that window restarts the wait. Six months of clean practice unlocks the next step.
4. Before an Alaska applicant under 18 gets a provisional license, how much certified driving experience is required?
- A At least 40 hours, including 10 hours in progressively challenging conditions such as night and bad weather
- B At least 20 hours, all in daylight
- C At least 100 hours, including 20 hours on gravel roads
- D No specific number of hours, only a signed parent statement
Correct answer: A. A parent, guardian, or employer must certify 40 hours of Alaska practice with 10 of those hours in tougher conditions like darkness or inclement weather. Think forty total, ten hard, because Alaska winters do not wait for new drivers.
5. You have an Alaska provisional license. During which hours may you not drive alone?
- A Between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.
- B Between midnight and 6:00 a.m.
- C Between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
- D Between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Correct answer: C. Alaska closes the road to solo provisional drivers from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. unless a parent, guardian, or licensed adult 21 or older rides along, or you are driving to or from work by the most direct route. One to five, adult or work.
6. Under Alaska's provisional license rules, which passengers may you carry with no qualifying adult in the vehicle?
- A Your siblings
- B Any two friends your own age
- C Any classmates traveling to a school event
- D Anyone, as long as everyone wears a seat belt
Correct answer: A. An Alaska provisional driver may not carry passengers under 21 unless a parent, guardian, or someone 21 or older is aboard, but siblings are the standing exception. Brothers and sisters ride free; other young passengers need an adult.
7. What happens if you break a passenger or nighttime restriction on your Alaska provisional license?
- A A written warning with nothing added to your record
- B Immediate revocation until age 21
- C An infraction carrying a $200 penalty and a 2-point violation on your driving record
- D A $50 fine with no points
Correct answer: C. Alaska treats a provisional restriction violation as an infraction with a $200 penalty and 2 points recorded on your driving history. Those points also delay your move to a full license, so the real cost outlasts the fine.
8. You fail the written knowledge test at an Alaska DMV office. When may you try again?
- A The following day
- B After a 30-day waiting period
- C The same day, immediately
- D Only after completing a driver education course
Correct answer: A. Alaska lets you retake a failed written test the next day, so a miss costs you a day rather than a month. Use that evening to reread the manual sections that tripped you up instead of guessing again.
9. You are driving through a stretch of Alaska highway marked as a traffic safety corridor. What is different there?
- A Speed limits no longer apply
- B Only commercial trucks may be cited
- C Points are not added to your record
- D Fines for traffic offenses committed in the corridor are doubled
Correct answer: D. Alaska designates certain highway segments as traffic safety corridors because of their crash history, and fines for offenses there are doubled. Treat the corridor signs as a warning that one mistake costs twice as much.
10. Freezing rain has glazed an Alaska road that is posted at the usual limit. What speed does Alaska law require?
- A The posted limit, since posted signs always control
- B A careful and prudent speed that is reasonable for the traffic, surface, width, and weather
- C Exactly half the posted limit
- D Any speed you choose, as long as you use your hazard lights
Correct answer: B. Alaska's speed limitation law says that when conditions are less than ideal you must drive at a careful and prudent speed given traffic, road surface, width, and weather. A posted number is a ceiling, not a promise that it is safe.
11. Unless a sign says otherwise, what speed limit applies in an Alaska school zone?
- A 15 mph
- B 20 mph
- C 25 mph
- D 30 mph
Correct answer: B. Alaska sets 20 mph in school zones and business districts, 15 mph in alleys, and 25 mph in residential districts unless posted differently. School zones and business blocks share the same low number: twenty.
12. An Alaska driver under 21 is cited for operating after consuming alcohol for the first time. What administrative revocation applies?
- A No revocation for a first offense
- B 30 days
- C 90 days
- D One year
Correct answer: B. Alaska's DMV revokes an under-21 driver's license for 30 days on a first minor-operating-after-consuming offense, and the revocation stands even if the criminal citation is dismissed in court. The DMV case and the court case run separately.
13. After a first DUI or refusal conviction in Alaska, how long must an ignition interlock device stay on any vehicle you operate?
- A No interlock is required for a first conviction
- B A minimum of six months
- C A minimum of two years
- D For life
Correct answer: B. Alaska requires an ignition interlock for at least six months after a first DUI or refusal conviction, and you pay the installation and upkeep yourself. Each later conviction adds six more months to the required period.
14. You approach a stopped Alaska State Trooper vehicle with flashing lights on a four-lane Alaska highway. What does the move-over law require?
- A Keep your speed and stay in your lane
- B Stop completely until an officer waves you past
- C Sound your horn as you pass
- D Move into the lane away from the stopped vehicle if it is safe, and otherwise slow to a reasonable and prudent speed
Correct answer: D. Alaska's move-over law covers stationary emergency vehicles and tow trucks with overhead flashing lights: shift to the far lane when safe, or slow down if you cannot move over or the road has only two lanes. Move over or slow down.
15. A moose steps in front of your car on an Alaska road at dusk. What does the Alaska Driver Manual say to do?
- A Swerve hard into the other lane
- B Speed up to clear the animal's path
- C Brake firmly but do not swerve
- D Steer for the ditch and accelerate
Correct answer: C. Alaska advises braking firmly without swerving, because swerving can send you into oncoming traffic, a pedestrian, or a tree. Most moose collisions happen at dawn and dusk, so scan the roadsides and slow down when the light is low.
16. Who prepared the official Alaska driver manual?
- A PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. The official Alaska manual cover says PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES. Testers invent leftover federal test-admin agencies. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
17. You need to confirm a Alaska permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or official Alaska driver handbook
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app's splash screen
Correct answer: A. Practice sites, including this one, can be wrong or out of date. Alaska's DMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Alaska page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Alaska roads?
- A Alaska's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and Alaska law
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. GDL hours, night limits, and passenger rules are Alaska law, explained by the DMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Alaska version, not a generic US version.
19. Who prepared the official Alaska book used for the knowledge test?
- A PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official Alaska manual cover says PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES. Testers invent leftover federal exam names. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
20. Where is the official Alaska driver handbook published?
- A PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The official extract is PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES. Testers invent leftover paid paperbacks. Learn that official wording, then answer the knowledge test from those words.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Alaska?
- A 14
- B 18
- C 21
- D 16
Correct answer: A. Alaska lets you apply for a learner's permit at 14, according to the DMV. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. How many questions are on the official Alaska General Knowledge Test?
- A 20
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The DMV publishes a 20-question General Knowledge Test in Alaska. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 20. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Alaska General Knowledge Test?
- A 16
- B 1
- C 20
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Alaska requires 16 correct out of 20 on the General Knowledge Test. That is the DMV's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. What passing score does the DMV publish for the Alaska General Knowledge Test?
- A 80%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Alaska General Knowledge Test. Percentages feel abstract until you miss a cluster of signs. Train above the line so test-day nerves do not drop you under 80%.
25. For a driver 21 or older in Alaska, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Alaska sets the adult per-se limit at 0.08%. That is a legal line, not a recommendation to drink up to it. Impairment starts earlier, and Alaska can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Alaska are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A any detectable amount
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Alaska uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: any detectable amount. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Alaska, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Alaska is:
- A 25 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Alaska's typical unposted residential / city default is 25 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 25 mph and watch the next plaque.
28. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Alaska?
- A 65 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Alaska's highest posted highway limit is 65 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Alaska is signed at the state maximum.
29. Who prepared the official Alaska driver manual you study before any knowledge test?
- A PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
- B Yes, anyone may take it on a phone in bed
- C Yes, but only on social media
- D Yes, and a screenshot of a practice test counts
Correct answer: A. The official Alaska manual cover says PREPARED BY ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES. Confirm any online-test path on that DMV site; do not invent a home-exam quote.
30. Which fee listing matches what the DMV currently publishes for a Alaska permit or license application?
- A Original instruction permit $15 standard, or $35 for a federally compliant (REAL ID) permit; an initial non-commercial driver license is $20 standard or $40 federally compliant. Removing the provisional restriction costs $15. A road test given by the DMV is $15 and nonrefundable, while third-party testers set their own fees.
- B There is never a fee in Alaska
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DMV lists this Alaska amount: Original instruction permit $15 standard, or $35 for a federally compliant (REAL ID) permit; an initial non-commercial driver license is $20 standard or $40 federally compliant. Removing the provisional restriction costs $15. A road test given by the DMV is $15 and nonrefundable, while third-party testers set their own fees.. Fees change, and extras like photos or late replacements can stack. Confirm the number on the official fee page the day you go, and bring an accepted payment type.
31. How old must the supervising driver be for an Alaska instruction-permit holder, and where must that person sit?
- A At least 21, with a year of experience in that class, in the seat beside you
- B 18 with any license, in the back seat
- C 16 if they have a provisional license
- D No supervisor is required after 30 days
Correct answer: A. Alaska opens the instruction permit at 14. The supervisor must be a licensed driver at least 21 who has a year of experience in that class of vehicle and who sits beside you. A newly licensed 18-year-old friend does not qualify.
32. Besides 40 certified hours, what extra practice block must an Alaska parent, guardian, or employer log before a provisional license at 16?
- A 10 hours in progressively more challenging conditions such as nighttime and bad weather
- B Night hours are optional
- C 25 highway hours only
- D Two hours of rain
Correct answer: A. A first-time Alaska applicant under 18 must hold the permit six months, stay free of traffic convictions, and certify at least 40 hours including 10 in harder conditions such as night and bad weather. A daytime-only log falls short.
33. When may an Alaska provisional driver carry passengers under 21 who are not siblings?
- A When a parent, guardian, or licensed person 21 or older is along, or the trip is for work by the most direct route
- B Anytime after 1:00 a.m.
- C After one clean month
- D Never until 21
Correct answer: A. Provisional drivers may not drive between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. and may not carry passengers under 21 other than siblings unless a parent, guardian, or licensed person 21 or older is along or the trip is work by the most direct route.
34. After a failed Alaska road test, how long do you normally wait before retesting?
- A Two business days, Monday through Friday, excluding state and federal holidays
- B The next calendar morning
- C Seven days
- D Thirty days
Correct answer: A. A failed Alaska written test may be taken again the following day. A failed road test normally waits two business days, counting Monday through Friday and skipping state and federal holidays. Do not mix the two clocks.
35. How close to a fire hydrant may you legally park on an Alaska street?
- A No closer than 15 feet
- B No closer than 10 feet
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. Alaska’s parking list forbids stopping closer than 15 feet from a fire hydrant, 30 feet from a stop sign, and 20 feet from a fire-station entrance. Testers swap those three numbers. Fifteen is the hydrant figure, not the rail or stop-sign figure.
36. An Alaska traffic signal shows a steady red arrow in the direction you want to go. What must you do?
- A Do not make that movement; stop before the crosswalk or stop line
- B Turn after a rolling stop if the way looks empty
- C Treat it like a circular red and turn right after yielding
- D Follow the next lane’s circular green
Correct answer: A. Alaska’s red-arrow rule is simple: do not make the movement the arrow indicates. Stop behind the crosswalk or stop line. A circular red can allow a right turn after a stop; a red arrow closes that movement until it changes.
37. When must Alaska law require headlights, even in daylight?
- A From a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and anytime visibility drops to 1,000 feet or less
- B Only after 10 p.m.
- C Only on interstates
- D Never in daylight; parking lights are enough
Correct answer: A. Alaska lighting law requires headlights from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, and in daytime when fog, rain, snow, smoke, or dust cuts visibility to 1,000 feet or less. Parking lights mark a parked vehicle; they do not replace headlights while you drive.
38. How far before a turn must you continuously signal in Alaska?
- A During the last 100 feet before turning
- B A car length
- C Only after you enter the intersection
- D 500 feet in every town
Correct answer: A. Alaska requires a hand, arm, or directional signal continuously during the last 100 feet before a turn. Higher speeds or heavy traffic may call for an earlier signal, but 100 feet is the legal minimum the written test uses.
39. You meet an Alaska school bus on a divided highway with two or more lanes in each direction. The bus is stopped the other way with its stop arm out. Must you stop?
- A No. Opposite traffic on that kind of divided roadway need not stop
- B Yes, every vehicle on the highway must stop
- C Only if children are already in the roadway
- D Only after 3 p.m.
Correct answer: A. Alaska requires drivers meeting or following a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended stop arm to stop on an undivided two-way road. On a divided roadway with two or more lanes each way, opposite-direction traffic need not stop. Same-direction traffic still must.
40. How far from other traffic must you switch to low beams in Alaska?
- A 500 feet or more from an oncoming vehicle, and 300 feet or more from a vehicle going the same way
- B 50 feet both ways
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only after midnight
Correct answer: A. Alaska tells drivers to change headlights to low beam 500 feet or more from an oncoming vehicle and 300 feet or more from a vehicle going in the same direction. Parking lights mark a parked vehicle; they are not a substitute for headlights.
41. An Alaska signal shows a flashing red arrow for your movement. What must you do?
- A Stop behind the crosswalk or stop line, look all ways, and go only when it is safe
- B Treat it as a green arrow and turn without stopping
- C Ignore it if no one is on your left
- D Wait only for a green ball
Correct answer: A. Alaska’s flashing red arrow means stop behind the crosswalk, stop line, or if none, before entering the intersection. Look in all directions for traffic and pedestrians and proceed only when it is safe. That is different from a steady red arrow, which forbids the movement until the signal changes.
42. You approach an Alaska roundabout. About how fast are they designed for, and who goes first?
- A About 15–20 mph; yield to traffic already in the circle and to pedestrians and bicyclists
- B 45 mph; take the gap from the left
- C Stop dead in the circle
- D The larger vehicle always goes first
Correct answer: A. Alaska says most roundabouts are designed for speeds of about 15–20 mph. Vehicles travel counterclockwise. Approaching traffic must yield to traffic in the circle, and you must yield to pedestrians and bicyclists in the roundabout and at the marked crosswalk as you exit.
43. An Alaska intersection shows a flashing yellow ball. What should you do?
- A Reduce speed, stay alert, and yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the intersection
- B Treat it as a stop sign
- C Speed up to beat cross traffic
- D Wait for a circular green
Correct answer: A. Alaska’s flashing yellow ball means reduce speed and use caution. Yield to pedestrians and vehicles in the intersection before you continue. It is a caution beacon, not a stop signal and not a protected green.
44. A police officer, firefighter, or authorized flag person is directing traffic at an Alaska intersection that also has a working signal. Whom do you obey?
- A The officer, firefighter, or flag person, even if that conflicts with the signs or signals
- B Only the traffic light
- C Whoever honks first
- D The painted arrows only
Correct answer: A. Alaska tells you to follow a police officer, fireperson, or authorized flag person regardless of signs or signals. A hand direction to stop at a green light still means stop. Resume the signal only after the person releases the intersection.
45. An Alaska steady red arrow is showing. When may you make that turn?
- A Only after the arrow changes to green or to flashing yellow
- B After a rolling pause if the way looks empty
- C Anytime at night
- D When the car behind you honks
Correct answer: A. Alaska says no turns are allowed on a red arrow until it changes to green or flashing yellow. A flashing yellow arrow later lets you turn after a yield. Do not treat the red arrow like a circular red that always allows a turn after a stop.
46. What following-distance method does the Alaska Driver Manual give as the easiest safe gap?
- A A four-second interval behind the vehicle ahead
- B One Alaska car length at any speed
- C Half a second if the road is dry
- D No gap is needed outside Anchorage
Correct answer: A. Alaska’s four-second rule is the manual’s easiest way to set a safe following distance. Watch the vehicle ahead pass a fixed point, then count four seconds before you reach it. Testers swap four seconds with a two-second myth. In Alaska weather, that extra count is the cushion.
47. You are on a two-lane Alaska roadway outside an urban area and five or more vehicles are immediately behind you. What does Alaska law require?
- A Pull over safely at the first chance so the line can pass
- B Speed up until the pack falls back
- C Stop in your lane and wave them around
- D Ignore them; Alaska forbids yielding on two-lane roads
Correct answer: A. Alaska Statute 28.35.140 requires a driver on a two-lane roadway outside an urban area to pull over safely when five or more vehicles are immediately behind. It is a courtesy written as a duty. Do not block a rural Alaska line just because you are already at the limit.
48. Besides a normal following gap, when else does the Alaska Driver Manual tell you to use the four-second rule, and when should you count six?
- A Use it at night so you are not over-driving your headlights; count six or more when towing or the road is wet or slippery
- B Drop to two seconds after dark on an Alaska highway
- C Count six only inside Anchorage
- D The four-second rule is for parking only
Correct answer: A. Alaska’s four-second count is also how you check that you are not over-driving your headlights at night. When you tow a trailer or the surface is wet or slippery, the manual says increase four seconds to six or more. Testers keep a dry-road four-count after dark on ice. In Alaska the night use is a headlight check, and weather adds two more seconds.
49. You spot a moose or deer beside an Alaska highway. Besides slowing down, what does the Driver Manual tell you to do for other drivers?
- A Briefly use flashers or a headlight signal so approaching Alaska traffic sees the animal
- B Lean on the horn until the Alaska moose leaves
- C Speed up so the Alaska animal cannot enter your lane
- D Rely on a deer whistle mounted on the bumper
Correct answer: A. Alaska says briefly flash your hazards or a headlight to warn approaching drivers when deer or moose are in or near the highway, then watch for more animals because they travel in pairs or groups. Testers honk or trust a deer whistle. The manual says those gadgets do not deter wildlife; your signal to other Alaska drivers does.
50. You enter an Alaska two-way left-turn-only lane marked with two-way left-turn arrows. Who else may use it, and who goes first when you turn?
- A Opposing Alaska traffic may also use that lane for left turns; yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians
- B Only your Alaska direction may enter, and you keep the right-of-way
- C Treat it as an Alaska passing lane if the arrows fade
- D Use it as a through lane on an Alaska four-lane
Correct answer: A. Alaska two-way left-turn arrows mark a lane that opposing traffic may also enter for left turns. Yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians while you turn. Testers treat an Alaska two-way left-turn lane like a private bay. Shared use plus a yield is the handbook item.
51. How far must you stay from an Alaska emergency vehicle answering a call, and how close may you park to a stopped fire apparatus showing flashing red or blue lights?
- A No closer than 500 feet while following, and do not park within 500 feet of that stopped Alaska apparatus
- B One Alaska car length with hazards on
- C Fifteen feet, the usual Alaska hydrant guess
- D Draft the Alaska rig at highway speed
Correct answer: A. Alaska law (AS 28.35.185) says a vehicle may not follow an emergency vehicle responding to an emergency closer than 500 feet. Do not park within 500 feet of fire apparatus that has stopped and is showing flashing red and/or blue lights. Testers copy a 200-foot number. Five hundred feet in motion and at the scene is the Alaska gap.
52. In an Alaska parallel park, how close to the near curb must the wheels sit?
- A Within 12 inches of the near Alaska curb
- B Within 18 inches, a number copied from other states
- C Flush against an Alaska hydrant
- D Three Alaska feet out if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Alaska’s parking list says that in parallel parking the wheels must be within 12 inches of the near curb. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Alaska curb gap, separate from the 15-foot hydrant buffer.
53. A train is approaching an Alaska crossing. How far away may that train still be when you must already be prepared to stop?
- A Within 1,500 feet of the Alaska crossing, even if the crossing is unmarked
- B Only when the Alaska locomotive is on the near rail
- C Five hundred feet, a number copied from other Alaska neighbors
- D Anytime an Alaska freight is visible on the horizon
Correct answer: A. Alaska says always stop when a train is close to a crossing, and be prepared to stop if a train is within 1,500 feet of the crossing. You must stop even if the crossing is unmarked. Testers wait until the Alaska locomotive is on the pavement. Fifteen hundred feet is already a stop.
54. When is the area directly across from an Alaska fire-station driveway also a no-park zone?
- A When the distance from that driveway to the opposite Alaska curb is less than 75 feet
- B On every Alaska street, for a flat 75-foot opposite buffer copied from other states
- C Only after 7 p.m. on an Alaska interstate
- D Never; only the driveway side of an Alaska station is restricted
Correct answer: A. 13 AAC 02.340 also forbids standing or parking in the area directly across the street from an Alaska fire-station entrance when the distance from that driveway to the opposite curb is less than 75 feet. Testers copy a flat 75-foot opposite buffer from other states. The opposite-side Alaska rule depends on street width, separate from the 15-foot hydrant extra.
55. May you park beside another vehicle that is already parked at an Alaska curb?
- A No; Alaska says double parking is prohibited by law
- B Yes, if Alaska flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. in an Alaska town
- D Yes, if the Alaska hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. The Alaska Driver Manual says double parking is prohibited by law. Testers squeeze alongside an Alaska curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 12-inch curb and opposite-side fire-station extras.
56. You park beside an Alaska roadway outside city limits at night. When may parking lights or low beams stay off?
- A When the Alaska vehicle sits at least 8 feet from the edge of the pavement
- B Anytime Alaska flashers are on
- C Only inside an Alaska garage
- D When the Alaska hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The Alaska Driver Manual says that when you park beside a roadway outside city limits, all four wheels should be off the pavement if possible, and parking lights or low-beam headlights stay on at night unless the vehicle is 8 feet from the edge of the pavement. Testers leave a dark Alaska car on the fog line. Eight feet off the pavement is the Alaska night-lamp exception, separate from the double-parking extra.
57. How close to an Alaska crosswalk or intersection may you park?
- A No closer than 20 feet of that Alaska crosswalk or intersection
- B Fifteen Alaska feet, the hydrant number reused here
- C Thirty Alaska feet, the stop-sign number reused here
- D Against the Alaska zebra if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. The Alaska Driver Manual’s parking-distance list forbids parking closer than 20 feet from a crosswalk or intersection. Testers reuse the 15-foot Alaska hydrant figure or the 30-foot stop-sign figure at every zebra. Twenty feet is the Alaska corner buffer, separate from the 15 / 30 / 20 hydrant-stop-station set extra.
58. How close to an Alaska railroad crossing may you park?
- A No closer than 50 feet of that Alaska railroad crossing
- B Twenty Alaska feet, the crosswalk number reused here

Correct answer: A. The official Alaska Driver Manual on dmv.alaska.gov says do not drive to make a pedestrian yield to you; the motorist should always yield to the pedestrian. That yield-cue is separate from the already-shipped never-pass-stopped-at-a-crosswalk extra. Testers invent leftover Alaska creep-until-the-walker-backs-up courtesy. Skip-driving-to-make-a-pedestrian-yield leftover from the prior extra.

- A An Alaska driver shall yield at marked crosswalks or at intersections
- B Only if Alaska flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on an Alaska interstate
- D If the Alaska hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Alaska Driver Manual on dmv.alaska.gov says pedestrians have the right-of-way at marked crosswalks or at intersections. That place-cue is separate from the already-shipped never-pass-stopped-at-a-crosswalk extra. Testers invent leftover Alaska hold-pace-once-you-leave-the-paint courtesy. Expect-pedestrian-right-of-way-at-marked-crosswalks-or-intersections leftover from the prior extra.

- A An Alaska driver shall still treat the intersection as giving pedestrians the right-of-way
- B Only if Alaska flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on an Alaska interstate
- D If the Alaska hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Alaska Driver Manual on dmv.alaska.gov says crosswalk lines need not be painted at all intersections, nor do they need be in place to indicate where pedestrians have the right-of-way. That paint-cue is separate from the already-shipped never-pass-stopped-at-a-crosswalk extra. Testers invent leftover Alaska hold-pace-if-the-bars-are-unpainted courtesy. Treat-unpainted-intersection-lines-as-still-giving-pedestrians-the-right-of-way leftover from the prior extra.

- A An Alaska driver shall look out the left window and check the turn path
- B Only if Alaska flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on an Alaska interstate
- D If the Alaska hydrant is more than 15 feet away
Correct answer: A. The official Alaska Driver Manual on dmv.alaska.gov says look out of the left window for pedestrians and check the turn path. That scan-cue is separate from the already-shipped backup-scan extra. Testers invent leftover Alaska cut-if-the-mirror-looks-empty courtesy. Look-out-the-left-window-for-pedestrians-and-check-the-turn-path leftover from the prior extra.
