Nevada Practice Speed Limits

The Nevada manual's Basic Rule tells drivers to weigh the type of road. Which road characteristic does the manual specifically list?

  1. A.
    Whether it has a bike lane or bus lane
  2. B.
    Whether it is flat and straight or steep and curvy Correct
  3. C.
    Whether the pavement is asphalt or concrete
  4. D.
    Whether the road is public or private
The Why

The answer is "Whether it is flat and straight or steep and curvy"

Under the Basic Rule's 'type of road' factor, the manual names two paired characteristics: whether the road is flat and straight or steep and curvy, and whether it is wide or narrow. Pavement material, roadway ownership, and lane markings are outside the road-type factors the manual names.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. Whether it has a bike lane or bus lane

Lane configuration is not one of the road-type Basic Rule factors the manual lists. This answer mistakes bike or bus lane markings for the shape-of-road factor the manual names.

C. Whether the pavement is asphalt or concrete

The manual does not list pavement material as a Basic Rule factor. This answer reads pavement construction into the manual's road-type factor list.

D. Whether the road is public or private

Public or private ownership is not one of the road-type Basic Rule factors the manual lists. This answer confuses roadway ownership with the shape-of-road characteristic the manual names.
