Passing target: 80% (40/50)
An ice cream truck is stopped on a two-lane street with its red lights flashing and its stop arm out. No one is crossing the street at the moment. What must you do?
A approaches a stopped ice-cream truck with flashing red warning lamps and its safety arm extended. The same arm is shown in a large detail. Nobody is crossing the roadway.
Correct answer: Stop before you reach the truck, then pass at 15 mph or less while you watch for children.
Why
New Jersey law requires drivers coming from either direction to stop before they reach an ice cream or frozen dessert truck that shows flashing red lights and a stop arm. After stopping, you may pass at a reasonable speed of no more than 15 mph, and you must yield to anyone crossing to or from the truck. Children focused on the truck may dart into the street without looking. On a highway divided by a raised median or safety island, drivers on the other roadway do not have to stop.
