Georgia DDS Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is This roadway ends at a T-intersection.

This sign warns that you are approaching a T-intersection from the terminating roadway. At the T-intersection, you must turn either left or right after yielding the right-of-way to through traffic if necessary.

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

This sign means that the road is slippery when wet. If the road appears wet, slow down, increase your following distance, and avoid sudden maneuvers or hard braking. These signs are often posted at bridges and overpasses.

Not quite. The answer is dynamic message signs.

Dynamic message signs provide important information to travelers. Messages can be changed to reflect current conditions, route traffic, construction schedules, incidents, etc.

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

A steady yellow traffic light indicates that the traffic light is about to turn red. If you are already in the intersection, keep moving and clear the intersection safely. If you are not already in the intersection, stop if it is safe to do so. However, don't stop suddenly and risk skidding or getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution through the intersection. Never speed up to try to "beat the light" before it turns red.

Not quite. The answer is food.

This is a guide sign. This sign indicates the availability of food.

Not quite. The answer is Treat the intersection like an all-way stop.

In Georgia, if the traffic signals are completely unlit, you must treat the intersection like an all-way stop (i.e., as if there were a stop sign at each approach to the intersection). That is, you must stop before entering the intersection, yield according to the right-of-way rules for stop signs, and then proceed (with extreme caution) when it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is a disabled parking area.

This sign features the international symbol of access for disabled persons. The sign means that it is illegal to park, stop, or stand in a parking space reserved for disabled persons unless your vehicle has a Disability Parking Placard or a Disabled Person's License Plate. You may obtain this placard or license plate by submitting a Disabled Person's Parking Affidavit (MV-9D) to the Georgia Department of Revenue (not to the DDS).

Not quite. The answer is separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction.

A white line separates lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. If it is a broken white line, you may cross it to pass or change lanes, if it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is Complete your turn.

If the green arrow turns yellow, it means that a red arrow, steady red light, or steady green light will soon follow. If you're already in the intersection, don't block the intersection. Complete your maneuver and clear the intersection quickly.

Not quite. The answer is turn left.

A steady yellow traffic light is a warning that the light is about to turn red. If you are already in the intersection, you must follow through. Perform the maneuver you intended to make and clear the intersection safely.

Not quite. The answer is passing is allowed.

A single broken (dashed) yellow line may be found on a two-lane, two-way roadway. Vehicles on either side may pass if it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is You are 444 miles from the state line or the end of this road.

Mileposts are located at regular intervals so that drivers will always be in sight of one. They are placed along the edge of the roadway to give drivers information about their locations on the highway for navigational and emergency purposes. The number on the milepost usually indicates the distance in miles to the state line or the end of the road.

Not quite. The answer is None of the above

A white line separates two lanes traveling in the same direction. If it's a broken line, you may cross it to pass or change lanes. If it's a solid line, you should usually stay in your lane.

Not quite. The answer is the left edge of the roadway.

On a divided roadway or a one-way road, a solid yellow line usually marks the left edge of the roadway. (For a divided roadway, the "left edge" is between the leftmost lane and the divider.)

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 work zones.

Work zone signs warn drivers of unusual or potentially dangerous conditions on or near the traveled way. These signs have black letters or symbols on an orange background. When you see these signs, slow down and pay close attention.

Not quite. The answer is Car B, because it arrived at the intersection first

In Georgia, when vehicles arrive at an all-way stop at different times, the vehicles should proceed in the order in which they arrived. Here, Car B was first to arrive, so Car B can proceed first. Car A was next to arrive, so it proceeds next, and finally Car C. Of course, each car must come to a complete stop at its stop sign before it proceeds.

Not quite. The answer is Treat the intersection like an all-way stop.

In Georgia, if a traffic signal is out of order and flashing yellow or red, you must obey that flashing light. However, if the traffic light is completely dark, you must treat the intersection like an all-way stop (i.e., as if there were a stop sign at each approach to the intersection). That is, you must stop before entering the intersection, yield according to the right-of-way rules for stop signs, and then proceed (with extreme caution) when it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

If you are found guilty of passing a school bus that is stopped with flashing red lights, you will be fined and six points will be added to your driving record. If you're under 21 years of age, six points is enough to cause your license to be suspended. The amount of the fine used to be $300 for a first offense, $750 for a second offense, and $1,000 for a third or subsequent offense. Evidently this is what the official Georgia Drivers Manual is referring to. However, the law was changed in 2018 to reduce the fine to $250 for each offense.

Not quite. The answer is keep pace with other traffic or obey posted speed limits.
