Which action constitutes driving the wrong way on a one-way street?

• A. Unsafe passing
• B. Wrong way on one-way street
• C. Fail to yield at yield sign
• D. Passed red light

Answer: (B)

On a one-way street, you must travel in the direction the street is posted for. Driving the wrong way means moving opposite to that flow, which is illegal and extremely dangerous because you can collide head-on with vehicles that are following the correct direction. This specific action—going the wrong way on a street that is clearly designated as one-way—directly matches the rule about one-way streets and is why it’s the correct choice. The other options describe different violations: unsafe passing involves passing in an unsafe manner, failing to yield at a yield sign is about not giving the right-of-way when required, and passing a red light means running a traffic signal. None of these describe driving opposite to the posted direction on a one-way street.
