if an expressway lane is closed for construction, you *
use only lanes open for traffic

Explanation:

Analyze backing up on an expressway

Using the Expressway Definition and Traffic Safety knowledge points, we evaluate the first question. Expressways and their entrance ramps are designed for high-speed, one-way traffic. Backing up or making a U-turn on an expressway or ramp is extremely dangerous and illegal because other drivers do not expect vehicles to move in reverse. Therefore, it is never permissible to back up on an entrance ramp or an expressway.

Analyze driving near trucks on an expressway

Using the Defensive Driving and Traffic Safety knowledge points, we evaluate the second question. Large trucks have significant blind spots (No-Zones), require longer stopping distances, and can create wind turbulence. Driving between two trucks is highly hazardous because it limits your visibility, reduces your escape paths, and places you in their blind spots. Safe driving practices dictate that you should avoid driving between trucks.

Analyze expressway lane closures

Using the Traffic Safety knowledge point, we evaluate the third question. When a lane is closed for construction, drivers must safely merge and use only the lanes that remain open for traffic. Driving on the shoulder or the median is illegal and unsafe, and speed limits in construction zones are strictly regulated rather than left to personal preference.
