Question 1
Most regulatory signs, such as speed limit signs, are
Correct answer: C
Regulatory signs are usually white rectangles, sometimes with red for prohibitions. Yellow diamonds are warning signs and green rectangles are guide signs.
-
Question 2
A sign shows a symbol inside a red circle with a red diagonal line through it. What does it mean?
Correct answer: A
A red circle with a slash means "no": no U-turn, no left turn, no trucks and so on. Hazards ahead are shown on yellow warning signs instead.
-
Question 3
At the end of a highway exit ramp you see a square sign with a white bar across a red circle and the words DO NOT ENTER. What does it mean?
Correct answer: D
DO NOT ENTER signs are placed where traffic comes toward you, such as the wrong end of a ramp or a one-way street. Entering would put you head-on against traffic.
-
Question 4
You pass a DO NOT ENTER sign by mistake and then see a red WRONG WAY sign. What should you do?
Correct answer: B
WRONG WAY means you are going against the flow of traffic. Pull off as soon as it is safe and turn around only where you will not block or meet oncoming vehicles; backing along a ramp is itself dangerous.
-
Question 5
A black and white sign reads ONE WAY with an arrow. What does it tell you?
Correct answer: D
On a one-way street every lane carries traffic in the same direction, the one the arrow shows. Turning into it against the arrow would mean driving the wrong way.
-
Question 6
What does the number on a white SPEED LIMIT sign show?
Correct answer: C
The posted limit is the maximum for ideal conditions. In rain, fog or heavy traffic you are expected to drive slower; recommended curve speeds appear on yellow advisory plaques.
-
Question 7
A small plaque under a STOP sign reads ALL WAY. What does it mean?
Correct answer: A
ALL WAY (or 4-WAY) tells you that every approach has a stop sign. The driver who stops first goes first, so watch the order in which drivers arrive.
-
Question 8
You are stopped at a red light where a sign reads NO TURN ON RED. You want to turn right. What should you do?
Correct answer: B
The sign removes the usual permission to turn right on red after stopping. You must wait for a green light or green arrow.
-
Question 9
A sign with an arrow curving around a symbol of a median reads KEEP RIGHT. What should you do?
Correct answer: C
KEEP RIGHT signs are placed on medians and traffic islands so you pass them on the correct side. They do not tell you to turn or to change lanes.
-
Question 10
A white sign reads DO NOT PASS. What does it mean?
Correct answer: B
DO NOT PASS marks a section where sight distance is too short for safe passing, such as near hills, curves or intersections. The rule applies to every vehicle you are following.
Questions you leave blank are not counted as wrong.
