1

On most BC resource (forest service) roads, which traffic generally has the right of way?

  • A Empty vehicles travelling uphill
  • B Whoever arrives first
  • Loaded vehicles, and traffic travelling downhill
  • D Passenger cars only

Why: Loaded and downhill traffic has the right of way on resource roads; uphill/empty vehicles should pull over and let them pass.

2

Why is a two-way radio strongly recommended on BC resource roads?

  • To call your position so other drivers know where you are
  • B For listening to music
  • C It is required to start the engine
  • D It improves fuel economy

Why: Resource roads are narrow with limited sight lines; calling your location by radio lets other drivers know where you are and avoid collisions.

3

Roadside signs on resource roads typically tell you the:

  • A Fuel prices
  • Radio channel, road name and kilometre location
  • C Weather forecast
  • D Nearest restaurant

Why: Standardized signs show the radio channel, road name, distance marker (kilometre) and direction so you can make correct radio calls.

4

When you meet an oncoming loaded logging truck on a narrow resource road, you should:

  • A Hold your ground and make them move
  • B Stop in the middle of the road
  • C Speed up to pass first
  • Find a pullout and wait until it has passed

Why: Yield to the loaded vehicle: pull into a turnout and wait until it has safely gone by before continuing.

5

Most BC resource roads are best described as:

  • A "Radio controlled": you may not enter without permission
  • B Closed to all traffic
  • "Radio assisted": radios help but you must still drive defensively
  • D The same as a highway

Why: Most resource roads are radio "assisted," not "controlled." Radio calls aid safety, but you must still drive cautiously and be ready to stop.

6

On resource roads where you call your kilometres, you should:

  • Announce your location and direction on the posted channel
  • B Stay silent to avoid clutter
  • C Use any channel you like
  • D Only call when stopped

Why: You announce your kilometre and direction of travel on the road’s posted channel so others can picture where you are.
