  1. GDL & fees

    1. In Ohio, how long must a driver under 18 hold a temporary instruction permit (TIPIC) before taking the road test for a probationary license?

    • A 30 days
    • B 90 days
    • C At least six months
    • D One full year

    Correct answer: C. Ohio requires minors to hold a TIPIC for at least six months before a probationary license. The waiting period guarantees supervised seat time in varied conditions. Remember: permit at 15½, license no sooner than 16.

  2. GDL & fees

    2. Before an Ohio teen with a TIPIC can get a probationary license, how much supervised practice driving must a parent or guardian certify?

    • A 20 hours, including 5 at night
    • B 50 hours, including at least 10 at night
    • C 75 hours, all in daylight
    • D 100 hours, including 25 at night

    Correct answer: B. Ohio minors must log 50 supervised practice hours, at least 10 of them at night, on the Fifty-Hour Affidavit before the road test. Think "fifty and ten" — the night hours build low-light skills examiners can't test.

  3. GDL & fees

    3. During the first 12 months of holding an Ohio probationary license, a 16-year-old generally may not drive during which hours without a parent or guardian?

    • A Midnight to 6 a.m.
    • B 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
    • C 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
    • D 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.

    Correct answer: A. For the first year, Ohio probationary drivers are barred from driving between midnight and 6 a.m. except with a parent, for work, school, or religious events with documentation. After 12 months, the window narrows to 1-5 a.m.

  4. GDL & fees

    4. You are 16 and hold an Ohio probationary license. Unless a parent or guardian rides along, how many non-family passengers may you carry?

    • A None at all
    • B Only one
    • C Up to two
    • D As many as there are seat belts

    Correct answer: B. Ohio limits probationary drivers to one passenger who is not a family member unless a parent or guardian is in the vehicle. Extra teen passengers multiply crash risk, so remember the rule as "one friend at a time."

  5. GDL & fees

    5. You fail the Ohio BMV knowledge test on your first try. What does the BMV require before you can test again?

    • A Complete a remedial driving course
    • B Pay a $10 retest fee
    • C Wait seven days
    • D Wait at least 24 hours

    Correct answer: D. Ohio makes failed applicants wait at least 24 hours before retaking the knowledge test; in-person attempts are unlimited, while online testing allows only two tries per six months. Use the day off to restudy the Digest.

  6. GDL & fees

    6. A 15½-year-old Ohio driver practicing with a TIPIC must have which person in the front passenger seat?

    • A A parent, guardian, or licensed driving instructor
    • B Any licensed driver at least 18 years old
    • C Any adult relative, licensed or not
    • D An older sibling with a probationary license

    Correct answer: A. Until age 16, Ohio permit holders may practice only with a parent, guardian, or licensed driving instructor seated beside them. At 16, any licensed driver over 21 in the passenger seat qualifies. Younger permit, stricter coach.

  7. GDL & fees

    7. To earn a probationary license in Ohio, a driver under 18 must complete a driver education course that includes how much instruction?

    • A 8 hours of classroom and 24 hours of driving
    • B 50 hours of classroom only
    • C 24 hours of classroom or online study plus 8 hours behind the wheel
    • D 10 hours of online study plus 40 hours of driving

    Correct answer: C. Ohio's required teen driver education course combines 24 hours of classroom or online instruction with 8 hours of in-car training at a licensed school. Flip trick: classroom hours triple the driving hours — 24 and 8.

  8. Speed

    8. In Ohio, how fast may you drive through a school zone during school recess and while children are going to or leaving school?

    • A 15 mph
    • B 20 mph
    • C 25 mph
    • D 35 mph

    Correct answer: B. Ohio sets a 20 mph limit in school zones during recess and arrival or dismissal times under ORC 4511.21. Children dart unpredictably, and slower speeds shrink stopping distance. Pair "school" with "twenty" in your memory.

  9. Speed

    9. You are cutting through an alley inside an Ohio city. Unless posted otherwise, what is your maximum lawful speed?

    • A 10 mph
    • B 20 mph
    • C 25 mph
    • D 15 mph

    Correct answer: D. Ohio law caps alley speeds inside municipal corporations at 15 mph. Alleys are narrow, sightlines are blocked by buildings and fences, and pedestrians appear suddenly. Remember: alleys are ten less than the 25 mph city default.

  10. Speed

    10. Unless signs say otherwise, what speed limit applies on a state route passing through an Ohio municipal corporation outside a business district?

    • A 25 mph
    • B 50 mph
    • C 35 mph
    • D 45 mph

    Correct answer: C. ORC 4511.21 sets 35 mph as the prima facie limit on state routes inside Ohio municipalities outside business districts, versus 25 mph on ordinary city streets. Highway-through-town equals 35 — ten over the neighborhood default.

  11. Alcohol & drugs

    11. For a standard first-offense OVI jail term in Ohio, what does the law say three consecutive days means?

    • A Three consecutive days means seventy-two consecutive hours, and the court may suspend that three-day jail term if the offender attends a drivers' intervention program for three consecutive days
    • B A warning letter and four points
    • C Thirty days in jail with no alternatives
    • D Community service only

    Correct answer: A. Official Ohio Rev. Code § 4511.19 says a mandatory jail term of three consecutive days. As used in this division, three consecutive days means seventy-two consecutive hours. The court may suspend the execution of the three-day jail term if it requires the offender to attend, for three consecutive days, a drivers' intervention program.

  12. Alcohol & drugs

    12. When Ohio imposes a first-offense OVI sentence under the higher-concentration divisions, what mandatory term applies?

    • A The penalty is identical to a standard first offense
    • B Charges are automatically reduced if no crash occurred
    • C Only the fine increases
    • D A mandatory jail term of at least three consecutive days and a requirement that the offender attend, for three consecutive days, a drivers' intervention program; three consecutive days means seventy-two consecutive hours, and if the offender is not conducive to treatment, refuses to attend, or the jail can provide a driver's intervention program, a mandatory jail term of at least six consecutive days

    Correct answer: D. Official Ohio Rev. Code § 4511.19 says a mandatory jail term of at least three consecutive days and a requirement that the offender attend, for three consecutive days, a drivers' intervention program. As used in this division, three consecutive days means seventy-two consecutive hours. If the offender is not conducive to treatment, refuses to attend, or the jail can provide a driver's intervention program, the court shall sentence the offender to a mandatory jail term of at least six consecutive days.

  13. Sharing the road

    13. A school bus ahead of you on a two-lane Ohio road stops with its red lights flashing. What must you do?

    • A Pass slowly on the left at 10 mph
    • B Stop at least 10 feet from the bus and wait until it moves or the driver signals you on
    • C Stop only if children are visible
    • D Honk and proceed with caution

    Correct answer: B. Ohio law requires stopping no closer than 10 feet from a school bus loading or unloading, from either direction on undivided roads. Stay put until the bus moves or its driver waves you through. Ten feet — kids first.

  14. Safety

    14. You're on a multi-lane Ohio highway approaching a stopped ambulance with flashing lights on the shoulder. Ohio's move-over law tells you to do what?

    • A Change into a lane away from the ambulance if it is safe, otherwise slow down and pass with caution
    • B Stop completely behind the ambulance
    • C Maintain your speed but flash your headlights
    • D Sound your horn to alert the crew

    Correct answer: A. Ohio's move-over law covers emergency, road service, waste collection, and maintenance vehicles: shift one lane away when safely possible; if you can't, reduce speed and proceed carefully. Fines double for violations. Move over or slow down.

  15. Signals

    15. Before turning or changing lanes on an Ohio street, you must signal continuously for at least how far?

    • A 25 feet
    • B 50 feet
    • C The last 100 feet traveled
    • D 500 feet

    Correct answer: C. Ohio law requires a continuous turn or lane-change signal during the last 100 feet before the movement, giving trailing drivers time to react. Roughly five car lengths — start blinking before you start steering.

  16. GDL & fees

    16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Ohio?

    • A Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV)
    • B The Federal Highway Administration
    • C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
    • D The US Department of Education

    Correct answer: A. In Ohio, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Ohio permit. When in doubt, start at the BMV site.

    17. You need to confirm a Ohio permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?

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

    18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Ohio roads?

    • A The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and Ohio 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 Ohio law, explained by the BMV. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Ohio version, not a generic US version.

    19. What does the BMV officially call the Ohio permit written exam?

    • A Knowledge Test (40 multiple-choice questions on motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs)
    • B The federal interstate qualifying exam
    • C The commercial learner permit skills pad
    • D The motorcycle only road course

    Correct answer: A. The BMV names the Ohio exam the Knowledge Test (40 multiple-choice questions on motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs). Informal names like permit test or written test point at the same test. Use the official name when you book or look up retake rules.

    20. Where is the official Ohio driver handbook published?

    • A By the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) at its official handbook URL
    • 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 BMV publishes the Ohio handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.

    21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Ohio?

    • A 15½
    • B 14
    • C 18
    • D 21

    Correct answer: A. Ohio lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15½, according to the BMV. 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.

    • D 5

    Correct answer: A. The BMV publishes a 40-question Knowledge Test (40 multiple-choice questions on motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs) in Ohio. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 40. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.

    • A 30
    • B 1
    • C 40
    • D 2

    Correct answer: A. Ohio requires 30 correct out of 40 on the Knowledge Test (40 multiple-choice questions on motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs). That is the BMV's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.

    • A 75%
    • B 50%
    • C 40%
    • D 99%

    Correct answer: A. You need 75% to pass the Ohio Knowledge Test (40 multiple-choice questions on motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs). Percentages feel abstract until you miss a cluster of signs. Train above the line so test-day nerves do not drop you under 75%.

  25. Alcohol & drugs

    25. For a driver 21 or older in Ohio, the per-se BAC limit is:

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

    Correct answer: A. Ohio 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 Ohio 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. Ohio 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 Ohio, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.

  27. Speed

    27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Ohio is:

    • A 25 mph
    • B 55 mph
    • C 70 mph
    • D 15 mph unless signed

    Correct answer: A. Ohio'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.

    • A 70 mph
    • B 25 mph

    • D 100 mph

    Correct answer: A. Ohio's highest posted highway limit is 70 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Ohio is signed at the state maximum.

    29. Does the BMV offer any online option for the Ohio Knowledge Test (40 multiple-choice questions on motor vehicle regulations and traffic signs)?

    • A Yes, in some cases — check eligibility on the official site
    • B No, never, for any applicant
    • C Only through a social-media quiz
    • D Only if you already hold a CDL

    Correct answer: A. Ohio does offer an online knowledge-test path for some applicants. Eligibility, ID rules, and camera rules change, so confirm them on the BMV site before you plan around it. An online test still means no handbook in your lap.

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

    Correct answer: A. The official BMV fee table lists Temporary Permits (DR Fee Included) Operator* $26.50 and Motorcycle or Moped* $25.50. Testers invent leftover NHTSA surcharges. Confirm the live BMV fee page the day you go.

    • B Midnight to 6:00 a.m. forever
    • C The curfew disappears
    • D 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

    Correct answer: A. The opening year uses midnight to 6:00 a.m. After 12 months the window shrinks to 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. until 18. The curfew does not vanish at the one-year mark, and limited exceptions still apply.

    • D Five

    Correct answer: A. Online knowledge testing is limited to two attempts in a six-month period. In-person attempts are unlimited, but each fail still requires at least a 24-hour wait. Treat the home exam as a short ration, not an unlimited drill.

    • A Mobile devices may not be used
    • B Handheld phones only; Bluetooth is fine
    • C Phones after midnight only
    • D Texting is banned, calls are allowed

    Correct answer: A. Ohio probationary licensees under 18 may not use mobile devices, may carry only one non-family passenger unless a parent is aboard, and face the night curfew. “I used a mount” does not erase the device ban.

    • B 30 days and no night minimum
    • C One year and 2 night hours
    • D Six months with classroom hours replacing the log

    Correct answer: A. Ohio pairs a six-month TIPIC hold with 50 supervised hours, including 10 at night, certified on the Fifty-Hour Affidavit. The 24-hour classroom course does not replace that parent log.

    • A No closer than 10 feet
    • B No closer than 15 feet
    • C No closer than 50 feet
    • D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car

    Correct answer: A. Ohio’s digest forbids parking within 10 feet of a fire hydrant and in or within 20 feet of an intersection or crosswalk. Ten is the hydrant number, not the 15-foot figure used in many other states. Leave that curb clear for hoses.

    • B Only after 10 p.m.
    • C Never in rain
    • D Only on interstates

    Correct answer: A. Ohio law requires headlights from sunset to sunrise, at any time visibility is poor from rain, snow, or fog, and any time the windshield wipers are in use because of precipitation. Parking lights do not replace headlights. Dim high beams for approaching traffic.

    • A They have the right-of-way
    • B Tap the horn so they can locate you
    • C Keep your speed if your light is green
    • D Pass within two feet

    Correct answer: A. Ohio’s digest says pedestrians who are visually impaired or blind and carrying a white cane or using a guide dog have the right-of-way. Yield fully. A horn startles someone using sound to navigate.

    • B Five feet from the first rail
    • C On the tracks if the lights are dark
    • D One hundred feet every time

    Correct answer: A. Ohio tells drivers to stop no closer than 15 feet and no farther than 50 feet from the crossing when a train is approaching. Wait until the train has passed and warning signals have stopped before crossing. Do not stop on the tracks.

    • B 10 feet, same as a hydrant
    • C 50 feet
    • D On the crosswalk if no one is walking

    Correct answer: A. Ohio forbids parking in or within 20 feet of an intersection or crosswalk. Twenty is the intersection number; ten is the hydrant number. Blocking the corner hides pedestrians from turning traffic.

  41. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    41. You are on a divided Ohio highway, traveling opposite a school bus with red lights flashing. Must you stop?

    • A No. Opposite-direction traffic on a highway divided into separate roadways does not have to stop; two-lane opposite traffic still must stop
    • B Yes. Every Ohio road requires a stop from both directions
    • C Only after 4 p.m.
    • D Only trucks must stop

    Correct answer: A. Ohio already requires a stop on a two-lane road. Ohio Revised Code § 4511.75 does not require a stop when you are approaching from the opposite direction on a highway divided into two or more roadways. If there is no physical division, stop from both directions.

    42. An Ohio traffic signal shows no colored lights or a confusing mix of lights. What must you do?

    • A Stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or before the intersection; yield to traffic that is an immediate hazard; then proceed with ordinary care
    • B Treat it as a flashing yellow and roll through
    • C The first car to arrive goes without stopping
    • D Only trucks must stop

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code § 4511.132 covers a signal that shows no colored lights or arrows, or a mix that does not clearly assign right-of-way. Stop at a marked stop line, or if none, before the crosswalk, or if none, before entering. Yield to vehicles in the intersection or approaching so as to be an immediate hazard, then use ordinary care as you go through.

  43. SignalsHandbook scenario

    43. An Ohio traffic signal shows a steady red arrow for your movement. After you stop, when may you go that way?

    • A Only when a signal or other traffic-control device permits that movement, unless a posted device expressly allows a turn on the red arrow
    • B Anytime the way looks empty
    • C After a rolling pause
    • D When the car behind you honks

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code § 4511.13 says traffic facing a steady red arrow shall not enter the intersection to make that movement and shall remain stopped until a signal or other device permits it. A turn on the red arrow is allowed only when a traffic-control device expressly permits it, after a complete stop and a yield.

  44. Right-of-wayHandbook scenario

    44. An Ohio funeral procession is using headlights and a purple-and-white or orange-and-white pennant. Who must yield, and when may the rest of the line follow the lead vehicle through a signal?

    • A Pedestrians and other drivers must yield, except public-safety vehicles or when an officer directs otherwise; after the lead vehicle lawfully enters, the rest may follow with due care
    • B Only trucks must yield
    • C No one yields until a judge says so
    • D The last car must stop at every red

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code § 4511.451 defines a funeral procession as two or more vehicles accompanying remains in the daytime with headlights on and a purple-and-white or orange-and-white pennant. Other traffic must yield except public-safety vehicles or an officer’s order. Once the lead vehicle lawfully enters an intersection, the rest may follow notwithstanding the signal if each driver uses due care.

  45. SignalsHandbook scenario

    45. An Ohio officer, firefighter, or flagger is directing you through an intersection where the signal looks confusing. What should you do?

    • A Follow that person’s direction; it overrides the confusing signal until they release you
    • B Follow only the yellow lens
    • C Ask the car beside you
    • D U-turn from the stop line

    Correct answer: A. Ohio already treats a dark or mixed signal as a stop. If a flagger, police officer, or firefighter is also directing traffic, that live direction controls. Go when they motion you through, then return to ordinary signals.

  46. Right-of-wayHandbook scenario

    46. You are entering an Ohio street from a private drive and no signal is present. Who yields?

    • A You yield to vehicles and pedestrians already on the street you are entering
    • B Street traffic always stops for the driveway
    • C Whoever has the larger vehicle
    • D Only trucks yield

    Correct answer: A. Ohio’s ordinary driveway and alley rule makes the entering driver yield. Stop where you can see, then join the street when it is clear. Do not nose out so far that you block a sidewalk or a bike lane.

  47. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    47. When an Ohio motor vehicle overtakes a bicycle or electric bicycle, what passing distance is treated as safe?

    • A Three feet or greater
    • B An Ohio mirror’s width
    • C One foot in a bike lane
    • D No extra space after you signal

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code § 4511.27 says that when a motor vehicle overtakes and passes a bicycle or electric bicycle, three feet or greater is considered a safe passing distance. Signal, pass to the left, and do not return to the right until you are safely clear. Testers treat three feet as a courtesy. In Ohio it is the stated safe distance.

  48. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    48. On a multi-lane Ohio highway you approach a stopped waste-collection or highway-maintenance vehicle with flashing lights. What does Ohio’s Move Over statute require?

    • A Change into a lane that is not adjacent when it is possible and safe; otherwise slow and proceed with due caution
    • B Keep the Ohio posted speed in the near lane
    • C Stop behind them until they wave
    • D Pass on the shoulder

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code § 4511.213 is broader than ambulances. It covers a stationary public-safety, emergency, road-service, waste-collection, PUC inspection, or highway-maintenance vehicle displaying the required flashing lights. On a road with two or more lanes your way, change out of the adjacent lane when you can; if you cannot, reduce speed and proceed with due caution.

  49. Right-of-wayHandbook scenario

    49. When does Ohio forbid turning around on a curve or near the crest of a grade?

    • A When your vehicle cannot be seen within 500 feet by a driver approaching from either direction
    • B Only after dark on an Ohio interstate
    • C U-turns are always legal if you signal
    • D Only inside a school zone

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.37 forbids turning a vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction on a curve or near the crest of a grade if another driver approaching from either direction cannot see you within 500 feet. Emergency vehicles on a call have a narrow exception. Testers try the turn on a blind Ohio crest. If they cannot see you from 500 feet, stay straight.

  50. SignalsHandbook scenario

    50. After a complete stop at an Ohio steady circular red, when may you turn left?

    • A From a one-way street into a one-way street, unless a sign or a steady red arrow forbids the Ohio turn
    • B From any Ohio two-way street if the way looks empty
    • C Never; Ohio allows only a right on red
    • D On a steady Ohio red arrow with no extra sign

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.13 lets traffic facing a steady circular red, after stopping, turn right or turn left from a one-way street into a one-way street unless a device prohibits the turn or a steady red arrow is displayed. A red arrow itself means stay stopped unless another device permits that arrowed turn. Testers invent an Ohio ban on every left on red, or they treat a red arrow like a circular red. Circular red plus one-way-to-one-way is the exception.

    51. When are studded tires legal on an Ohio highway?

    • A From November 1 through April 15 on an Ohio highway
    • B Year-round on every Ohio interstate
    • C Only in January on an Ohio two-lane
    • D Never; Ohio bans every stud

    Correct answer: A. Ohio’s Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws says studded tires are legal from November 1 through April 15. Testers leave studs on an Ohio car in July or invent an April 1 cutoff copied from a plains state. Early November through mid-April is the Ohio season.

  52. Sharing the roadHandbook scenario

    52. A marked Ohio two-way left-turn lane sits in the center of a multi-lane road. What is it for?

    • A Left turns only from either Ohio direction; it is not for passing, merging, or traveling through
    • B An Ohio passing bay if the arrows fade
    • C A through lane on an Ohio four-lane
    • D Only Ohio right turns from a driveway

    Correct answer: A. Ohio marks a two-way left-turn lane with broken and solid yellow lines and white two-way left-turn arrows. Vehicles from either direction may use it immediately before a left turn. It is not a lane for traveling or passing, and the digest also says it is not for merging into traffic. Testers treat an Ohio center turn lane like a shortcut. Left turns only.

    53. May you operate an Ohio motor vehicle while wearing earphones over both ears, or earplugs in both ears?

    • A No; Ohio Revised Code 4511.84 forbids earphones over or earplugs in both ears, with carve-outs such as a hearing aid or on-duty emergency or highway-maintenance work
    • B Yes, if the Ohio volume stays low
    • C Only on an Ohio interstate
    • D Yes, if you use Ohio flashers

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.84 says no person shall operate a motor vehicle while wearing earphones over, or earplugs in, both ears. Hearing aids, on-duty law-enforcement, fire, and EMS, highway-maintenance and refuse workers, and motorcycle hearing protection have listed exceptions. Testers cover both Ohio ears. One ear open unless you fit an exception.

    54. How close to an Ohio fire-station driveway may you park, including on the opposite side of the street?

    • A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway, or 75 feet on the opposite Ohio side when that side is posted with signs
    • B Ten feet, the Ohio hydrant number
    • C Against the Ohio bay if flashers are on
    • D Anywhere an Ohio sidewalk is clear

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.68 forbids parking within 20 feet of a driveway entrance to any fire station, and on the side of the street opposite that entrance within 75 feet when it is properly posted with signs. Testers reuse the 10-foot Ohio hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear.

  55. ParkingHandbook scenario

    55. When you park on an Ohio street with a right-hand curb, how close must the wheels sit?

    • A Parallel to and no more than 12 inches from the right Ohio curb
    • B Within 18 inches only, a number copied from other Ohio neighbors
    • C Against the Ohio sidewalk if flashers are on
    • D Anywhere an Ohio travel lane stays open

    Correct answer: A. Ohio’s digest, matching Revised Code 4511.69, says vehicles must park facing traffic, parallel to and not more than 12 inches from the right curb. On a one-way street the same 12-inch gap applies at the right or left curb. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Ohio curb gap, separate from the 10-foot hydrant extra.

    • B Flush with both Ohio bumpers so the stall looks full
    • C Eighteen inches, a number copied from other Ohio curb rules
    • D Anywhere an Ohio sidewalk is clear

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.68, as the digest lists it, forbids stopping, parking, or standing within one foot of another parked vehicle, and also alongside a vehicle already stopped at the curb. Testers squeeze bumper-to-bumper on an Ohio block. One foot is the Ohio gap between parked cars, separate from the 12-inch curb extra.

    • B Twenty Ohio feet, the intersection-crosswalk number reused here
    • C Ten Ohio feet, the Ohio hydrant number reused here
    • D Against the Ohio post if flashers are on

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.68 forbids standing or parking within 30 feet of, and upon the approach to, any yield sign, stop sign, or highway traffic signal. Testers reuse the 20-foot Ohio intersection-crosswalk number at every roadside control. Thirty feet is the Ohio approach buffer, separate from the 10-foot hydrant and one-foot parked-car extras.

    • B Anytime an Ohio car may park on that sidewalk
    • C Never; Ohio forbids every sidewalk bicycle
    • D Only after 9 p.m. on an Ohio block

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.68 lets a person stand or park on a sidewalk a bicycle, electric bicycle, low-speed micromobility device, or a motor-driven cycle or motor scooter with an engine no larger than 150 cubic centimeters, without charge, if it does not impede the normal flow of pedestrian traffic. Testers roll an Ohio car onto the walk, or treat every sidewalk as a no-bike zone. Pedestrian flow is the Ohio sidewalk test, separate from the 12-inch curb extra.

    • B Ten Ohio feet, the hydrant number reused here
    • C Twenty Ohio feet, the crosswalk number reused here
    • D Against the Ohio island if flashers are on

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.68 forbids standing or parking between a safety zone and the adjacent curb, or within 30 feet of points on the curb immediately opposite the ends of a safety zone, unless a different length is indicated by a traffic control device. Testers reuse Ohio’s 10-foot hydrant number here. Thirty feet is the Ohio safety-zone buffer, separate from the 30-foot roadside-signal extra and the sidewalk micromobility carve-out.

    • A The rider may back into an angled Ohio stall even if the bike then faces against traffic, or back into a parallel stall facing either way, and no more than two motorcycles may share that parallel stall
    • B One Ohio motorcycle per stall, always facing traffic
    • C Only after 9 p.m. on an Ohio block
    • D Anywhere an Ohio hydrant is clear

    Correct answer: A. Ohio Revised Code 4511.69 lets a motorcycle operator back into an angled parking space so the parked bike faces a direction other than travel, and also back into a parallel roadside space facing either direction. Not more than two motorcycles may occupy that parallel space at a time, metered or not. Testers invent a one-bike, face-traffic-only Ohio rule. Two bikes and a back-in are the pair, separate from the 12-inch curb extra.
