North Dakota DOT Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is A stop sign

This is, of course, a stop sign, the only type of sign that is octagonal (eight sided). A stop sign has the word "STOP" printed in white on a red background. At a stop sign, you must stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, whichever you arrive at first. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is Traffic may flow on both sides.

This sign means that traffic on the road may flow on both sides of the sign.

Not quite. The answer is You will have to slow down ahead.

This sign indicates a speed zone ahead. This is an area where a lower speed limit has been established. Prepare to slow down so you won't exceed the speed limit there.

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.

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

Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when the intersection is clear. You must stop near the sign and yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.

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 B, A, C

At an all-way stop, you must stop and then yield to vehicles that arrived at the intersection before you. In other words, vehicles should proceed in the order in which they arrived. Here, Car B can go first, followed by Car A and then Car C. (Of course, each vehicle must stop before proceeding.)

Not quite. The answer is to divide each side of the roadway into separate lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction.

Where there are two or more lanes of traffic in each direction, broken white lines are used to divide each side of the roadway into separate lanes of traffic traveling in the same direction. You may cross a broken line to pass or change lanes, if it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is The maximum allowable speed in a school zone when children are present

This sign warns drivers not to exceed the posted speed limit in a school zone or school crossing when children are present. In this case, the maximum allowable speed is 15 mph.

Not quite. The answer is You should not yield to pedestrians in a school crosswalk that lacks a school crossing guard.

You must always yield to pedestrians in school crosswalks. There may or may not be school crossing guards to assist with safe pedestrian crossing.

Not quite. The answer is Do not walk.

Pedestrian signals are only for controlling pedestrian traffic. This signal showing an upraised hand tells pedestrians that they may not enter the crosswalk to cross the roadway.

This white diamond sign indicates that the way is reserved for high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) during the specified times from Monday through Friday.

Not quite. The answer is The center of the roadway

On a two-way road with four or more lanes, two solid yellow lines mark the center of the roadway. Passing is prohibited on both sides of these lines. You may cross two solid yellow lines only to make a left turn into or from an alley, a private road, a driveway, or another road.

Not quite. The answer is No passing

The only pennant-shaped signs are No Passing Zone signs. This sign means that you are not allowed to pass other vehicles here.

Not quite. The answer is slow down.

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