Class Three – Road Signs, Signals, and Road Markings
Class Three – Road Signs, Signals, and Road Markings
Introduction
Road signs, signals, and markings are the communication system of the road. They provide important information, warn of hazards, and regulate traffic. Every driver must know how to recognize and obey them in order to stay safe and follow the law.
Objectives
By the end of this class, students will be able to:
1. Identify the three main categories of road signs: regulatory, warning, and guide signs.
2. Understand the meaning of different traffic signals and arrows.
3. Recognize the importance of pavement markings and how they guide safe driving.
4. Apply this knowledge to real-world driving situations.
Learning Outcomes
Students will:
• Describe the purpose of road signs, signals, and markings.
• Match common signs to their meanings.
• Demonstrate how to respond properly to different traffic signals.
• Explain what solid lines, broken lines, arrows, and crosswalk markings mean.
Lesson Breakdown
1. Road Signs
• Regulatory Signs: Tell you what you must do (Stop, Yield, Speed Limit, No U-turn).
• Warning Signs: Alert you to hazards ahead (curves, school zones, pedestrian crossings).
• Guide Signs: Provide directions, distances, and services (green for directions, blue for services, brown for recreation).
2. Traffic Signals
• Red Light: Stop.
• Yellow Light: Prepare to stop.
• Green Light: Go when safe.
• Arrows: Provide direction-specific control (protected left turns, flashing yellow arrows).
• Flashing Signals: Flashing red = stop sign; flashing yellow = caution.
3. Road Markings
• Solid White Lines: Stay in your lane; lane changes discouraged.
• Broken White Lines: Lane changes allowed.
• Solid Yellow Lines: No passing.
• Broken Yellow Lines: Passing permitted when safe.
• Crosswalks & Stop Lines: Indicate where vehicles must stop.
• Arrows: Indicate turning or lane use.
Why This Matters
• Signs, signals, and markings keep traffic organized and predictable.
• Misunderstanding them can lead to tickets, collisions, or failed driving exams.
• Safe drivers use them to anticipate hazards and make smart decisions.
Conclusion
Road signs, signals, and markings are the visual rules of the road. By learning to read and obey them, you’ll communicate effectively with other drivers and navigate safely in any driving environment.

Class 6 – Physical Health and Safe Driving
Introduction
Safe driving isn’t just about knowing the rules of the road—it also depends on the driver’s physical and mental condition. Good health helps you react quickly, stay alert, and make smart decisions. Poor health, fatigue, or medication side effects can put you and others at serious risk.
Why Physical Health Matters for Drivers
Vision
Clear eyesight is essential for spotting road signs, traffic signals, and hazards.
Utah requires drivers to meet minimum vision standards to obtain or renew a license.
Night vision and peripheral vision are just as important as sharpness.
Hearing
Good hearing helps you notice horns, sirens, and unusual vehicle sounds.
Drivers with limited hearing may use visual cues and mirrors more often to stay aware.
Reaction Time
Driving requires quick reflexes. Fatigue, illness, or alcohol slows reaction time.
Even a one-second delay can be the difference between avoiding a crash and causing one.
Medication and Substances
Many prescription and over-the-counter drugs (like painkillers, sleep aids, or allergy meds) can cause drowsiness or slow reflexes.
Always read warning labels and consult a doctor before driving while on medication.
Fatigue and Sleep
Drowsy driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving.
Lack of sleep impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction speed.
Physical Fitness
A healthy lifestyle supports better focus and stamina for long drives.
Conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, or heart problems must be managed carefully before driving.
Safe Driving Habits for Good Health
Schedule regular eye exams.
Get adequate rest before driving.
Never drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or impairing medications.
Take breaks during long trips to stretch, hydrate, and rest.
Report medical conditions that may affect driving, as required by Utah law.
Why It Matters
Your health directly affects your ability to drive safely. A healthy, well-rested driver can anticipate hazards, make good decisions, and react quickly—while poor health or fatigue can turn a routine drive into a dangerous situation.
✅ Takeaway: Physical health is a cornerstone of safe driving. Clear vision, alertness, quick reactions, and proper rest all make the difference between safe trips and preventable crashes.

Class 7 – Alcohol and Drug Awareness
Alcohol and drugs are among the leading causes of serious and fatal crashes on our roads. Even small amounts of alcohol, prescription medication, or illegal substances can affect a driver’s vision, judgment, coordination, and reaction time. In this class, we will explore the dangers of impaired driving, the science of how substances affect the body, and the legal consequences of driving under the influence. Our goal is to help you understand that safe driving requires a clear mind and full control—anything less puts lives at risk.
Objectives
By the end of this class, students will be able to:
Recognize how alcohol and drugs impair driving abilities.
Identify the physical and mental effects of common substances, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Understand state laws and penalties related to driving under the influence (DUI).
