People near the road may change direction or enter it unexpectedly.
This guide focuses on the distinction behind the task, so that a remembered answer does not become a substitute for understanding.
What to look for
Notice entrances, crossings and blocked views.
Describe the relevant information in ordinary language. If a term is unfamiliar, resolve its meaning before using it as part of your explanation.
