Kinda cool!  BTW, you can keep taking it and the scenarios change.

While it isn't bad to review some of those concepts, a lot of those visual situations would be second nature with that advent of motion. In many of them you would already realize the potential situations just by the way traffic is moving. They should have videos playing instead of still images.

Also, some, like the countdown timer for the traffic light, isn't telling anything of much importance, because the light will turn yellow before it turns red. Again, you'd probably notice the countdown more readily as you notice the "motion" in the numerical changes during countdown.

Good idea, but need some work. Needs videos, actually.
