  1. GDL & fees

    1. You just earned your driver's license at 16 in Connecticut. During your first six months licensed, who may ride with you besides a licensed driving instructor?

    • A Any friend who already has a license
    • B Up to two classmates during daylight hours
    • C A parent or legal guardian, or a supervisor at least 20 years old licensed four straight years without suspension
    • D Any relative, including cousins of any age

    Correct answer: C. Connecticut's graduated license law limits new 16- and 17-year-old drivers to instructors, parents or guardians, or a qualified supervisor age 20 or older for six months. Extra teen passengers multiply crash risk. Remember: first six months, mentors only.

    • B 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
    • C Midnight to 4 a.m.

    • A Whenever the phone is completely hands-free
    • B Only after holding the license for six months
    • C Only for calls to a parent or guardian
    • D Never — drivers under 18 may not use any mobile device, even hands-free

    Correct answer: D. Connecticut bars drivers under 18 from any mobile phone or electronic device use behind the wheel, hands-free included. Novice drivers cannot spare the attention that conversation steals. Hook: under 18, the only safe call is no call.

  4. GDL & fees

    4. A 16-year-old Connecticut driver is convicted of a first graduated-license (GDL) violation, such as breaking the passenger rules. What is the penalty?

    • B A written warning with no suspension
    • C Permanent loss of the license until age 21
    • D A $50 fine only

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut suspends a teen's license 30 days for a first GDL conviction and charges a $175 restoration fee; a second offense brings six months or suspension until 18, whichever is longer. Hook: break a teen rule, lose a month.

    • A 20 hours
    • B 40 hours
    • C 50 hours
    • D 60 hours

    Correct answer: B. Connecticut requires 40 hours of practice driving, which may combine commercial school, high school, and parent or qualified-trainer instruction. Varied seat time builds judgment classrooms cannot. Hook: forty hours behind the wheel before the license is real.

    • A At least 60 days
    • B At least 90 days
    • C At least 120 days
    • D At least 240 days

    Correct answer: C. Connecticut permit holders wait at least 120 days with commercial or high-school driver education, or 180 days when trained at home by a qualified trainer. Formal training earns the shorter wait. Hook: school route 120, home route 180.

  7. GDL & fees

    7. You fail the knowledge test at a Connecticut DMV office. When can you take it again?

    • A After seven days, and you must pay the $40 exam fee again
    • B The same afternoon at no charge
    • C After 30 days with a $10 rescheduling fee
    • D Only after completing a driver education course

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut makes failed applicants wait seven days and pay the $40 exam fee again before retesting. The forced pause pushes real study of the driver's manual instead of immediate guessing. Hook: fail Friday, study a week, bring forty.

    8. In Connecticut, what is the fine for a first conviction of texting or holding a phone while driving?

    • A $50
    • B $100
    • C $150
    • D $200

    Correct answer: D. Connecticut fines distracted drivers $200 for a first offense, $375 for a second, and $625 for a third or later. Drivers under 18 also face license suspension. Hook: the fines climb 200, 375, 625 — put the phone down.

  9. Speed

    9. What is the highest speed limit that can be posted on any Connecticut highway?

    • A 55 mph
    • B 65 mph
    • C 70 mph
    • D 75 mph

    Correct answer: B. Connecticut caps speed limits at 65 mph, allowed only on multiple-lane, limited-access highways; other highways top out at 55 mph. Higher speeds stretch stopping distances dramatically. Hook: 65 is Connecticut's ceiling — nothing in the state is posted higher.

  10. Speed

    10. What speed on a Connecticut highway, road, or parking area for ten cars or more is itself a reckless-driving violation?

    • A The operation of a motor vehicle upon any such highway, road or parking area for ten cars or more at a rate of speed greater than eighty-five miles per hour shall constitute a violation of the provisions of this section.
    • B Only if Connecticut flashers are on
    • C Only after nine p.m. on a Connecticut interstate
    • D If the Connecticut hydrant is more than fifteen feet away

    Correct answer: A. The operation of a motor vehicle upon any such highway, road or parking area for ten cars or more at a rate of speed greater than eighty-five miles per hour shall constitute a violation of the provisions of this section. Testers invent leftover Connecticut only-if-someone-is-hurt courtesy.

  11. Speed

    11. A 17-year-old Connecticut driver is convicted of going more than 20 mph over the speed limit. What is the first-offense license penalty?

    • A 60-day suspension plus a $175 restoration fee
    • B Two points with no suspension
    • C A $100 fine and a warning letter
    • D A 10-day suspension with no fee

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut suspends 16- and 17-year-olds for 60 days on a first conviction of exceeding a limit by more than 20 mph, plus a $175 restoration fee. Speed is deadliest for novices. Hook: 20 over costs a teen two months.

  12. Alcohol & drugs

    12. In Connecticut, a driver under 21 is considered legally intoxicated at what blood alcohol concentration?

    • A 0.08%
    • B 0.05%
    • C 0.04%
    • D 0.02%

    Correct answer: D. Connecticut's zero-tolerance law sets 0.02% as the limit for drivers under 21 — a level a single drink can reach — versus 0.08% for adults. Hook: under 21 in Connecticut, two-hundredths counts as intoxicated, so the real limit is zero.

  13. Alcohol & drugs

    13. A 30-year-old Connecticut driver is considered legally intoxicated once their blood alcohol concentration reaches what level?

    • A 0.10%
    • B 0.08%
    • C 0.05%
    • D 0.02%

    Correct answer: B. Connecticut treats drivers 21 and older as legally intoxicated at 0.08% BAC; an arrest brings a 45-day administrative suspension and an ignition interlock requirement. Judgment fades well before that number. Hook: point-oh-eight is the adult line, but impairment starts sooner.

  14. Emergencies

    14. Under Connecticut's Move Over law, what must you do when approaching any vehicle stopped on the shoulder of a multi-lane highway?

    • A Slow below the posted limit and move over one lane when it is safe
    • B Come to a complete stop behind the vehicle
    • C Flash your headlights and maintain your speed
    • D Sound your horn continuously while passing

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut's Move Over law requires slowing below the posted limit and shifting one lane away from any pulled-over vehicle when safe. Shoulder strikes kill roadside workers and stranded drivers. Hook: see a car on the shoulder — slow down and slide over.

    • A $100
    • B $250
    • C $450
    • D $1,000

    Correct answer: C. Connecticut fines drivers $450 for a first school-bus passing offense; repeat violations run $500 to $1,000 and can bring jail time. You must stop at least 10 feet away. Hook: blowing by a bus costs $450 — children are crossing.

    16. Who compiled the official Connecticut driver manual used for the learner's-permit knowledge test?

    • A Compiled by the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, with the assistance of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
    • B The Federal Highway Administration
    • C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
    • D The US Department of Education

    Correct answer: A. The official Connecticut Driver's Manual cover says Compiled by the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, with the assistance of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. Testers invent leftover federal test-admin agencies. The DMV compiled the book the knowledge test is written from.

    • A The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or official Connecticut 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. Connecticut's DMV publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Connecticut page wins. Date-stamp what you read.

    • A Connecticut's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and Connecticut 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 Connecticut law, explained by the DMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Connecticut version, not a generic US version.

    • A You must pass both a vision and a 25-question knowledge test.
    • B The federal interstate qualifying exam
    • C The commercial learner permit skills pad
    • D The motorcycle only road course

    Correct answer: A. The official Connecticut Driver's Manual says You must pass both a vision and a 25-question knowledge test. Testers invent leftover federal exam names. The 25-question knowledge test is the official written exam, separate from the vision screen.

    • A 16
    • B 14
    • C 18
    • D 21

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut lets you apply for a learner's permit at 16, 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.

    • C 100
    • D 5

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut requires 20 correct out of 25 on the 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.

    • A 80%
    • B 50%
    • C 40%
    • D 99%

    Correct answer: A. You need 80% to pass the Connecticut 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 Connecticut, the per-se BAC limit is:

    • A 0.08%
    • B 0.12%
    • C 0.15%
    • D 0.20%

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut 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 Connecticut can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.

    • A 0.02%
    • B 0.08%
    • C 0.10%
    • D 0.15%

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: 0.02%. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Connecticut, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.

    • A 65 mph
    • B 25 mph
    • C 15 mph
    • D 100 mph

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut'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 Connecticut is signed at the state maximum.

    • 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 DMV administers the Connecticut Knowledge test in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the DMV lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.

    • B There is never a fee in Connecticut
    • C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
    • D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA

    Correct answer: A. The DMV lists this Connecticut amount: $19 for the Class D learner's permit, plus a $40 license exam fee that covers the vision, knowledge, and road tests.. 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.

    30. If you fail the Connecticut Knowledge test, which statement matches the DMV's published retake rule?

    • A If you fail the knowledge test, you must wait seven days and pay $40 again to retake it. Failing only the vision test lets you reschedule immediately. Testing is by appointment at select DMV offices.
    • B You are banned from driving in Connecticut for life
    • C You may retake it immediately with no limits, forever, for free, at any kiosk
    • D The DMV never allows a second try

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut's published retake rule is: If you fail the knowledge test, you must wait seven days and pay $40 again to retake it. Failing only the vision test lets you reschedule immediately. Testing is by appointment at select DMV offices. Use the wait to restudy the handbook chapters you missed. Showing up unprepared a second time just spends another attempt.

    31. How long must a Connecticut learner's permit be held if the teen uses home training by a qualified trainer, compared with commercial or high-school driver ed?

    • A 180 days with home training; 120 days with commercial or high-school driver ed
    • B 120 days either way
    • C 30 days with home training
    • D One year for every path

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut residents can apply at 16 and must log 40 behind-the-wheel hours. The permit hold is 120 days after a commercial or high-school program, or 180 days with home training. Mixing the two clocks is a common miss.

    • C One friend
    • D Any number after 11:00 p.m.

    • A 40 hours
    • B 50 hours including 10 at night
    • C 30 hours
    • D No hour log is required

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut requires 40 hours of behind-the-wheel practice before licensing, on top of the 120- or 180-day permit hold. There is no published 10-hour night split in the verified summary, so do not invent one.

    35. How close to a fire hydrant may you park in Connecticut?

    • A No closer than 10 feet
    • B No closer than 15 feet, as in most states
    • C No closer than 25 feet
    • D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut’s parking list is stricter on hydrants than many neighbors: no parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant. The same list also keeps you 25 feet from a pedestrian safety zone and no more than one foot from the curb.

    36. A Connecticut signal shows a red arrow. What does it require?

    • A Stop; you cannot go in the direction of the arrow until a green arrow or green light appears
    • B Turn after a stop if the way is clear
    • C Treat it like a flashing yellow
    • D Proceed if you are already in the lane

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut says a red arrow means you must stop and you cannot go in the direction of the arrow. You may proceed when the red arrow goes out and a green arrow or light goes on. Do not treat it like a circular red right-turn-after-stop.

    • B Treat it as a green if you got there first
    • C Yield only on the smaller street
    • D Drive through at the posted speed

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut law requires a driver at an intersection with an inoperative stop light to stop as though a stop sign controlled it. Make sure you can clearly see crossing traffic before you go. Dark light, stop first.

    38. A pedestrian in Connecticut is using a white cane or a guide dog. What must you do?

    • A Give that pedestrian the right-of-way
    • B Honk so they can find your car
    • C Keep your speed if the light is green
    • D Pass within three feet

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut says blind or partially blind pedestrians may carry a white cane or use a guide dog, and you must give them the right-of-way. Slow down, stop if needed, and do not use the horn as a locator.

    • A No closer than 25 feet
    • B 10 feet, same as a hydrant
    • C 50 feet
    • D You may park in the zone after dark

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut forbids parking within 25 feet of a pedestrian safety zone. That is a different number from the 10-foot hydrant rule. Mixing the two distances is a classic written-test trap.

  40. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    40. A Connecticut school bus is stopped with red lights flashing on the opposite side of the road. Must you stop?

    • A Yes, whether the bus is on your side, the opposite side, or at an intersection you are approaching, unless a median or physical barrier separates the roadways
    • B Only if you are behind the bus
    • C Only in a school zone
    • D Never if the bus is across the centerline

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut requires a stop for a school bus with flashing red lights whether it is on your side, the opposite side, or at an intersection you are approaching. You are not required to stop if the bus is traveling toward you and a median or other physical barrier separates the roadway. Wait until children have left the roadway before you proceed.

  41. Right-of-wayHandbook scenario

    41. You approach a Connecticut roundabout. Who has the right-of-way?

    • A Traffic already circulating, plus pedestrians in the crosswalk; enter only when there is a sufficient gap
    • B Whoever arrives first from the left
    • C You, if you keep your speed
    • D The larger vehicle

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut says entering traffic must yield to circulating traffic. Each approach has a yield sign and may have yield-line markings. Slow down, yield to traffic already in the roundabout and to pedestrians in the crosswalk, then enter when there is a sufficient gap and signal right as you reach your exit.

  42. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    42. You are approaching a motorcycle on a Connecticut road at night. What does the driver’s manual say about headlights?

    • A Dim your headlights; high-beam glare is more dangerous to a motorcyclist than to a car driver
    • B Leave high beams on so the rider can see you sooner
    • C Flash high beams twice as a greeting
    • D Use parking lights only

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut tells drivers to always dim headlights when approaching a motorcycle. Because a rider is more exposed, the blinding effect of high beams is far more dangerous than it is to a motorist in a closed car. Hold your lane and speed if the motorcycle is passing you, and do not speed up.

    43. A Connecticut traffic light is flashing yellow. What should you do?

    • A Slow down and proceed with caution
    • B Treat it as a stop sign
    • C Speed up before it turns red
    • D Wait for a green ball

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut says a flashing yellow traffic light means slow down and proceed with caution. Look for cross traffic, pedestrians, and the hazard the beacon is marking. It is not a stop signal and not a protected green.

  44. Right-of-wayHandbook scenario

    44. You are entering a Connecticut traffic circle or rotary. Who has the right-of-way?

    • A Drivers already in the circle; you must yield before you enter
    • B The vehicle on your left only
    • C Anyone going faster
    • D Only buses

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut’s right-of-way chapter says drivers entering a traffic circle or rotary must yield to drivers already in the circle. The same yield applies at a modern roundabout around the center island. Do not force a gap.

  45. Right-of-wayHandbook scenario

    45. Your Connecticut light is green, but the intersection is packed and you would have to stop in the middle. What does the manual forbid?

    • A Blocking the box, also called causing gridlock; wait until there is room on the other side
    • B Waiting for the next green
    • C Yielding to pedestrians already in the crosswalk
    • D Using a turn signal

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut warns against entering when you would block vehicles or pedestrians. That is blocking the box or causing gridlock. A green light does not give you permission to sit in the crosswalk. Wait for space on the far side.

    46. Any vehicle is pulled over on a Connecticut highway. What does the Move Over Law require?

    • A Slow below the posted limit and move over one lane when it is safe
    • B Keep your speed and stay in the left lane
    • C Stop in the travel lane behind them
    • D Speed up so you spend less time beside them

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut’s Move Over Law applies when any vehicle is pulled over on any part of a highway or road, not only an emergency vehicle. Slow below the posted speed limit and move over one lane whenever it is safe. If you cannot move over, the slow-down still applies.

    • A A minimum of three feet between your vehicle and the bicycle, including any load or trailer
    • B A mirror’s width
    • C One foot if you tap the horn
    • D No extra space in a bike lane

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut says slow down and pass a bicyclist only when you can give a minimum of three feet between your vehicle and the bicycle. Count the width of your vehicle and any load or trailer. Three feet is a hard clearance, not a suggestion.

  48. Right-of-wayHandbook scenario

    48. You want to turn around on a Connecticut expressway. What does the handbook say about U-turns, and which lane do you finish in when a U-turn is legal?

    • A Never make a U-turn on an expressway; when a U-turn is legal, finish in the outside or right-hand opposite lane
    • B U-turns are fine in any Connecticut left lane
    • C Finish in the fastest opposite lane
    • D Expressway U-turns are required at every exit

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut says U-turns are not legal everywhere and you must check for signs. Never make a U-turn on an expressway. When you may turn around, signal left, stop, check traffic, and proceed into the outside or right-hand lane traveling the opposite way. Testers try a mid-highway Connecticut turnaround. Get off the expressway instead.

    49. A Connecticut HAWK pedestrian signal is showing flashing red after a pedestrian crossing. What must you do?

    • A Stop, then you may go once pedestrians have cleared the Connecticut crosswalk
    • B Treat the flash like a Connecticut green arrow
    • C Speed up because the HAWK is turning off
    • D Wait through a full new Connecticut red cycle no matter what

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut’s HAWK (High-Intensity Activated CrossWalK) uses two reds over a yellow. Dark means it is off and you may proceed. Flashing yellow means a pedestrian called it; solid yellow warns a red is next; solid red means stop for people in the crosswalk; flashing red means stop, then you may go after they clear. Testers treat every HAWK red as a stuck light. The flash is a stop-then-go once the crosswalk is empty.

    50. You are driving so slowly on a Connecticut two-lane that you are holding up other vehicles. What should you do?

    • A When it is safe, pull to the side or use a turnout so Connecticut traffic can pass
    • B Hold the Connecticut lane until a passing zone is painted
    • C Wave faster Connecticut cars onto the shoulder
    • D Speed up only after ten Connecticut vehicles stack up

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut tells a slow driver who is delaying others to pull to the side of the road when it is safe and let them pass. Some two-lane roads have turnout areas; others have passing lanes. Testers wait for a painted Connecticut passing zone. The handbook duty is the first safe side or turnout.

    • B Year-round on every Connecticut interstate
    • C Only in January on a Connecticut two-lane
    • D Never; Connecticut bans every stud

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut permits studded tires from November 15 through April 30. Testers leave studs on a Connecticut car in July or invent a November 1 start copied from a plains state. Mid-November through the end of April is the legal season.

    52. What extra penalties does Connecticut name for speeding, ignoring a traffic-control device, using an improper lane, or endangering a highway worker in a work zone?

    • A Fines up to $1,000, points, and possible driver retraining; handheld-phone fines are also doubled in a Connecticut work zone
    • B A warning plaque only
    • C The same Connecticut fine as a parking ticket
    • D Jail on a first Connecticut cone

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut says anyone convicted of speeding, disobeying traffic-control devices, using an improper lane, or endangering a highway worker in a work zone can face fines up to $1,000, points, and driver retraining. Handheld-phone fines are doubled in a work zone. Testers remember only a generic double. The $1,000 worker-endangerment figure is the Connecticut trap.

    53. A Connecticut travel lane has a bicycle sharrow — two chevrons painted above a bicycle symbol. What is that marking telling you?

    • A The Connecticut lane is shared; a vehicle or a bicycle may be in it, so watch for riders
    • B The Connecticut lane is closed to every bicycle
    • C Park in the Connecticut sharrow if your hazards are on
    • D Treat a Connecticut sharrow as a bus-only diamond

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut defines a bicycle sharrow as two chevrons painted above a bicycle symbol. It indicates the lane is shared, so vehicle or bicycle traffic may be in it, and it is an extra warning to watch for bicycles. Testers treat a Connecticut sharrow like optional art. Expect a rider in the lane.

    • B Yes, if Connecticut flashers are on
    • C Only at night on a Connecticut interstate
    • D Yes, if the Connecticut hydrant is clear

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut’s no-parking list includes parking on the roadside of a parked vehicle, which the manual calls double parking. Testers squeeze alongside a Connecticut curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 10-foot hydrant and one-foot curb extras.

    • B Thirty feet, a number copied from other Connecticut neighbors
    • C Ten feet, the Connecticut hydrant number
    • D Against the Connecticut post if flashers are on

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut’s no-parking list forbids parking within 25 feet of a stop sign, the same 25-foot figure used for a pedestrian safety zone. Testers copy a 30-foot number from other states. Twenty-five feet is the Connecticut stop-sign buffer, separate from the 10-foot hydrant extra.

    56. How close to a Connecticut intersection or the approach to a marked crosswalk may you park, and what changes if that corner has a curb extension?

    • A No closer than 25 Connecticut feet, except 10 feet if a curb extension is at least as wide as the parking lane, or if a space there was established on or before October 1, 2022
    • B Thirty Connecticut feet at every corner, copied from other states
    • C Ten Connecticut feet at every corner, the hydrant number reused here
    • D Against the Connecticut zebra if flashers are on

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut General Statutes 14-251 forbids parking within 25 feet of an intersection or an approach to a marked crosswalk, except within 10 feet if a curb extension is at least as wide as the parking lane, or if a parking space there was established on or before October 1, 2022. Testers treat every Connecticut corner as a flat 25 feet. Twenty-five feet, or 10 feet at a full-width bulb-out, is the Connecticut pair, separate from the 25-foot stop-sign extra.

    57. When you park on a curbed Connecticut highway, how close must the right-hand wheels sit, and what if a bikeway sits between the parking lane and the curb?

    • A Within 12 inches of that Connecticut curb, or within 12 inches of the bikeway or buffer edge when a bikeway sits between the parking lane and the curb
    • B Eighteen Connecticut inches, a number copied from other states
    • C Against the Connecticut sidewalk if flashers are on
    • D Anywhere a Connecticut travel lane stays open

    Correct answer: A. Connecticut General Statutes 14-251 says that when safety will permit, the right-hand wheels of a parked vehicle must sit within 12 inches of the curb. If a bikeway or its buffer sits between the parking lane and the curb, that 12-inch gap is measured to the bikeway or buffer edge instead. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches, shifted to the bikeway when one is present, is the Connecticut curb pair.

    • B Leave the Connecticut wheels straight if the brake is set
    • C Always turn the Connecticut wheels toward oncoming traffic
    • D Point the Connecticut wheels uphill on every grade

    Correct answer: A. The Connecticut Driver’s Manual says that when you park on a hill, turn your wheels sharply toward the side of the road or curb so a rolling vehicle moves away from traffic. Testers invent a three-way Connecticut uphill-away diagram copied from other states. Wheels toward the roadside so a roll leaves the travel lane is the Connecticut hill trap, separate from the 12-inch bikeway-edge curb extra.
