Question 5897

When approaching a movable bridge, what are drivers required to do?

  1. Increase speed to get across as quickly as possible.
  2. Always stop before crossing it.
  3. Exercise extreme caution and reduce speed below the maximum permitted speed.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Exercise extreme caution and reduce speed below the maximum permitted speed.

As you approach a movable bridge, you must be extra cautious and slow down below the speed limit. You do not always have to stop, but you must when it is closed, like the one in the picture, raised to let a boat through.
