Ohio BMV Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is the lane nearest to the curb.

When you are turning from a one-way street onto a two-way street or divided roadway, turn from the lane nearest the curb unless signs or pavement markings indicate otherwise.

Not quite. The answer is passing is not allowed on either side.

A double solid yellow line marks the center of a road and separates lanes of traffic traveling in opposite directions. Passing is not allowed on either side of the line. You may cross the line only to make a left turn.

Not quite. The answer is when there is a broken line next to your lane.

When there is a broken line (either white or yellow) next to your lane, you are allowed to pass if it is safe to do so.

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

Railroad crossbuck signs are found at public railroad crossings. They are often accompanied by such warning signals as bells, flashing lights, or gates. Be prepared to stop at least 15 feet from the tracks if a train is coming.

Not quite. The answer is you should stay in your lane.

A solid white line between lanes of traffic means that drivers should stay in their lane. Drivers should not cross the line unless a special situation requires them to change lanes.

Not quite. The answer is Slow down and proceed with caution.

Flashing yellow signals are used to alert drivers to potential hazards. Slow down and proceed with caution.

Not quite. The answer is instructions to the driver.

Vertical rectangular signs generally give instructions or tell you about traffic laws. Such regulatory signs give instructions to motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.

Not quite. The answer is traffic merging ahead.

If you are on the main road and see this sign, be prepared for other cars and trucks entering your lane.

Not quite. The answer is The right lane ends ahead.

This type of warning sign gives advance notice of a reduction in the number of lanes ahead. This particular sign indicates that the right lane ends ahead. Drivers in the right lane must merge left. Drivers in the left lane should allow vehicles in the right lane to merge smoothly.

Not quite. The answer is A stop sign ahead

This sign indicates that there is a stop sign ahead. Prepare to stop there. A stop sign means that you must come to a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk.

Not quite. The answer is vehicles from all four directions approaching the intersection must stop.

At an intersection, a stop sign accompanied by this sign means that the intersection is a four-way stop. Each approaching roadway has a stop sign accompanied by a "4-Way" sign.

Not quite. The answer is There is a low place in the road ahead.

This sign indicates that there is a low place in the road ahead. Slow down for your comfort and to maintain control. Proceed with caution and be ready to stop if the dip is filled with water.

Not quite. The answer is You are driving the wrong way.

If the yellow edge of the roadway is on your right, you are driving in the wrong direction. (The left edge should be painted yellow, and the right edge should be painted white.) Wrong-way accidents tend to be head-on collisions, which are often fatal. For your safety, pull over to the shoulder (which may be on your left in this situation) as soon as you can safely do so.

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, perform the maneuver you intended to make and clear the intersection safely.

Not quite. The answer is driving the wrong way.

If you see this sign, it means you are driving the wrong way. Turn around.

Not quite. The answer is as far away from traffic as possible.

Always park in a designated area if possible. If you must park on a roadway, park your vehicle as far away from traffic as possible. If there is a curb, park as close to it as you can.

Not quite. The answer is You are not allowed to enter.

This sign indicates that you cannot enter the roadway on which the sign is posted.

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 make a U-turn.

This is a U-turn sign. This sign allows you to make a U-turn if it is safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, but only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street.

In Ohio, you can turn left on a red light when you are turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, unless signs prohibit it. You must still come to a complete stop and yield to all pedestrians and traffic before you turn. Note: The laws on this are different in some other states. A few states (e.g., Idaho) also allow you to turn left on red from a two-way street onto a one-way street. Still other states (e.g., South Dakota) prohibit left turns on red altogether. When traveling out of state, always check the local traffic laws.
