Delaware DMV Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is indicate potentially hazardous conditions ahead.

Warning signs are used to warn you of potentially hazardous conditions ahead so that you will proceed with caution. These signs usually have black letters or symbols on a yellow background. (Newer school zone and school crossing signs have a fluorescent yellow-green background.)

Not quite. The answer is in school zones

Never exceed posted speed limits. The speed limit in Delaware school zones is 20 mph except where otherwise posted.

Not quite. The answer is Do not make a right turn.

The arrow depicts a right turn. However, a red slash inside a red circle means "no." This regulatory sign prohibits drivers from making a right turn. This sign is located on the right side of a roadway or over a travel lane.

Not quite. The answer is A railroad crossing is ahead.

This sign alerts motorists that a railroad crossing is ahead. Drivers must proceed with caution.

Not quite. The answer is the road ahead is slippery when wet.

This sign means that the road ahead is slippery when wet. In wet weather, you should slow down, increase your following distance, proceed with caution, and avoid sudden moves. Roads are often at their slipperiest during the first half hour of rain. This type of sign is often found on bridges and overpasses.

Not quite. The answer is a railroad crossing.

This is an advance warning sign that may be posted in advance of the railroad crossing. Vehicles must slow down, look, listen, and be prepared to stop at the crossing ahead.

Not quite. The answer is Telephone service is available ahead.

This sign is a service sign. It indicates that telephone service is available ahead.

Not quite. The answer is pull your vehicle forward.

If you are stopped at an intersection and another vehicle is approaching you from behind at high speed, you should pull your vehicle forward somewhat (but not into the intersection!) to give the approaching vehicle more room to stop.

Not quite. The answer is approaching a stop sign or signal.

Rumble strips are a series of indented elements installed on a paved roadway shoulder near the travel lane, on a two-lane roadway near the center line, or in a lane of traffic approaching a stop sign or signal. Rumble strips use vibration and sound to alert drowsy or inattentive drivers that their vehicles have left the travel lane or are approaching a stop sign or signal.

Not quite. The answer is A divided highway starts ahead.

This sign warns that the road will split into a divided highway ahead. A physical barrier or median will separate opposing lanes. Keep right.

Not quite. The answer is separates lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited.

A double solid white line separates two lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited. Double solid white lines are often used on highways to separate a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane from other lanes traveling in the same direction.

Not quite. The answer is You must not drive on the railroad tracks.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign means that you are not allowed to drive on the railroad tracks.

Not quite. The answer is lodging is available.

This is a service sign. Drivers are advised to use lodging facilities if needed.

Not quite. The answer is Stop if it is safe to do so.

A steady yellow traffic light is a warning that the traffic light will soon turn red. You should try to stop if it is safe to do so. (Never speed up to try to "beat the light" before it turns red.) But don't stop suddenly and risk skidding or getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution into the intersection.

Not quite. The answer is Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels

Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels may be used in work zones in both day and night to guide drivers into certain traffic lanes and inform them that part of the road or street ahead is closed.

Not quite. The answer is Sharp right turn

This sign indicates that the road ahead turns sharply to the right. Slow down and use caution.

Not quite. The answer is a low ground clearance railroad crossing.

This sign indicates a low ground clearance railroad crossing. The railroad crossing is raised so high that a vehicle with a long wheelbase or low ground clearance can get stuck on the tracks. This type of railroad crossing should not normally present a problem for a car driver unless he or she is pulling a trailer or driving a motor home with a low ground clearance.

Not quite. The answer is a bikeway crosses the roadway ahead.

This sign represents a bicycle crossing. This sign warns you in advance that a bikeway crosses the roadway ahead.

Not quite. The answer is separates lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited.

A double solid white line separates two lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited. Double solid white lines are often used on highways to separate a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane from other lanes traveling in the same direction.

Not quite. The answer is five

If you are found guilty of speeding at 15 mph or more over the posted speed limit, five points will be added to your driving record. In Delaware, each pointable violation carries between two and six points. If you were speeding at 25 mph or more over the posted speed limit, your license will also be suspended.
