Nevada DMV Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is slow down.

A flashing yellow light is used on some tow trucks and slow-moving vehicles. It warns you to slow down.

Not quite. The answer is in work zones.

Most US states impose additional penalties for certain traffic violations in work zones under certain conditions, although the conditions and additional penalties vary from one state to another. This sign informs drivers that fines for exceeding the posted speed limit in work zones are doubled.

Not quite. The answer is increase your speed.

In work zones, driving slower or faster than the surrounding traffic is a major cause of rear-end collisions. (Fines for speeding are doubled in work zones when workers are present.) Stay alert, obey the signs, keep up with traffic unless otherwise directed, and change lanes to leave more room for workers or equipment. Do not slow down suddenly, but be prepared to stop anytime.

Not quite. The answer is stop

In Nevada, you must treat a broken traffic signal like a stop sign. That is, you must stop, yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and only proceed (with extreme caution) when it is safe to do so. If none of the signals at an intersection are working, treat the intersection like an all-way stop.

Not quite. The answer is The divided highway ends ahead.

This sign indicates that the divided highway ends. Traffic travels in both directions on the same roadway ahead. Keep right and watch for oncoming vehicles.

Not quite. The answer is a roundabout.

This sign indicates that you are approaching a roundabout. A roundabout is a circular intersection in which traffic circulates counterclockwise around a central island.

Not quite. The answer is B, A, C

At an all-way stop, you must yield to vehicles that arrived at the intersection before you. In other words, vehicles should proceed in the order in which they arrived. Here, that would be Car B, followed by Car A and then Car C.

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 In any of the above situations

Use your high beams on unfamiliar roads, in construction areas, or where there may be people alongside the roadway. High beams let you see twice as far as low beams. However, dim your headlights when you are meeting or following another vehicle. Also use low beams in fog, rain, or snow. High beams can reflect off such precipitation and cause glare.

Not quite. The answer is an overpass ahead; clearance from the roadway surface to the overpass is 13 feet 6 inches.

This sign indicates that you are approaching an overpass, and the clearance from the roadway surface to the overpass is 13 feet 6 inches.

Not quite. The answer is A school zone sign

School zone signs and school crossing signs are pentagonal (five sided). Slow down, proceed with caution, and watch for pedestrians. Follow directions from school crossing guards.

Not quite. The answer is The first vehicle to stop should be the first to go.

When two or more vehicles reach a four-way stop at different times, the first vehicle to stop should be the first to go. When two vehicles on different roadways arrive at a four-way stop at about the same time, the vehicle on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.

Not quite. The answer is to stop, slow, or guide traffic safely through construction areas.

Flag persons (flaggers) are often located in highway and street work zones to stop, slow, or guide traffic safely through these areas. Flaggers wear orange vests, shirts, or jackets and use red or orange flags or STOP/SLOW paddles to direct traffic through work zones.

Not quite. The answer is without exceeding the speed limit.

When passing another vehicle, get through the other driver's blind spot as quickly as you can without exceeding the speed limit. The longer you stay in the blind spot, the longer you are in danger of a collision. You must not exceed the speed limit when passing, however.

Not quite. The answer is vehicles coming from the right.

When approaching an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals), drivers must yield to vehicles coming from the right. However, drivers should always be prepared to yield if necessary to avoid an accident.

Not quite. The answer is freeway exit ramps.

Signs like this provide advisory speeds at freeway exits and entrance ramps. They show the maximum recommended safe speed to drive in ideal weather conditions.

Not quite. The answer is An alternate route is 1,000 feet ahead.

This sign indicates that there is a road closure ahead but there is an alternate route in 1,000 feet.

Not quite. The answer is A pedestrian crossing is ahead; vehicles must yield.

This figure means that a pedestrian crosswalk is ahead. Drivers must yield to pedestrians.

Not quite. The answer is No U-turn

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign means that U-turns are prohibited here.

Not quite. The answer is a handicapped parking zone.

This sign means that you are prohibited from parking in a handicap zone unless you have the appropriate permit.
