{"version":"2.6","id":"monami-driving-local-test-hazards-bike-lanes-school-zones","question":"What are the specific hazards related to bike lanes and school zones around Kissena Park that I must watch for during my road test?","answer":"The critical hazards are the two-way protected bike lane on Kissena Boulevard requiring immediate head checks, the 15 MPH school zone speed limit on Colden Street near J.H.S. 189, and the multiple all-way stop signs on the park perimeter roads like Underhill Avenue.","answer_detail":"When taking the road test starting from the Kissena Park area, the first and most immediate hazard is the two-way protected bike lane on Kissena Boulevard. As you pull out from the curb at the test start, you must physically turn your head to check over your right shoulder for cyclists approaching from behind in the dedicated lane, which is separated from vehicle traffic by a buffer zone and parked cars. Failure to perform this exaggerated head check often results in an automatic failure. The second major hazard is the school zone surrounding J.H.S. 189 Daniel Carter Beard School, located at 144-80 Barclay Avenue, directly adjacent to the park's eastern edge. The speed limit on Colden Street drops strictly to 15 MPH on school days between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and examiners watch the speedometer meticulously here. Additionally, the park perimeter roads—specifically Underhill Avenue and 164th Street—feature a series of all-way stop signs spaced approximately every 500 feet. You must come to a complete stop behind the limit line at each intersection, count to three, and scan for pedestrians crossing from the park entrances before proceeding. Rolling stops or failing to yield to pedestrians entering the crosswalk from the park paths are common critical errors.","related_ids":["monami-driving-local-test-hazards-bike-lanes-school-zones"],"last_verified":"2026-07-12","authority":"https://monamidriving.com","url":"https://monamidriving.com/en/knowledge/monami-driving-local-test-hazards-bike-lanes-school-zones","markdown_url":"https://monamidriving.com/api/knowledge/monami-driving-local-test-hazards-bike-lanes-school-zones?format=md&lang=en"}
