Pennsylvania DOT Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is make sure there are no more vehicles in or coming through the intersection.

When a traffic signal turns green at an intersection, make sure the way is clear of any other vehicles that might still be in or coming through the intersection. Yield to any pedestrians who are still on the road. Most accidents at traffic signals happen in the first few seconds after the light has changed.

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 The curb or edge of a public road

The curb or edge of a public roadway can be a legal parking zone. Make sure that where you park is (1) far enough from any travel lane to avoid interfering with traffic and (2) visible to vehicles approaching from either direction.

Not quite. The answer is at least 40 mph.

This sign means that under normal traffic, weather, and road conditions, you may not drive slower than 40 mph. Such minimum speeds are posted to improve traffic flow and safety. However, if driving conditions are hazardous, you may drive at a speed below the posted minimum speed.

Not quite. The answer is you need to make a right turn to enter Route 47 north.

This sign tells you to turn right to go north on route 47.

Not quite. The answer is 5

If you are convicted of failing to stop for a stopped school bus with flashing red lights, you will be fined $250, your license will be suspended for 60 days, and five points will be added to your driving record. Five is the largest number of points for any single offense.

Not quite. The answer is Low clearance ahead

This sign indicates that this roadway's vertical clearance here is 12'6" (twelve feet six inches). Vehicles taller than this should not proceed on this roadway. In the United States, trucks can legally be over 13 feet tall.

Not quite. The answer is A T-intersection is ahead; yield to cross traffic.

This sign indicates a T-intersection. This sign indicates that the road you are traveling on will end soon. Prepare to turn right or left. Yield to cross traffic.

Not quite. The answer is A safe speed indication for a curve ahead to the right

This warning sign means that there is a curve ahead to the right. A recommended safe speed for the curve may be shown just below the sign.

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. (Older signals had the words "DONT WALK" illuminated instead.) A signal showing a person walking tells pedestrians that they may enter the crosswalk. (Older signals had the word "WALK" illuminated instead.)

Not quite. The answer is 3

If you are convicted of failing to stop at a stop sign, a flashing red traffic light, or a steady red traffic light, three points will be added to your driving record.

Not quite. The answer is Rest area ahead

This sign indicates a rest area open on the right.

Not quite. The answer is You are free to proceed, but you must first yield to any traffic already in the intersection.

You can proceed on a green signal after you yield to all pedestrians and vehicles that are already in the intersection.

Not quite. The answer is showing alternate routes during road closures and construction.

This sign shows alternate routes during road closures or construction. Follow these signs.

Not quite. The answer is Left turns are not allowed.

On prohibitory signs, a red circle and slash mean "no." This sign means that left turns are prohibited here.

Not quite. The answer is vehicles from either direction to make a left turn.

The sign and pavement markings indicate that the middle lane is a two-way left-turn lane, also known as a shared center turning lane. Vehicles from either direction may enter this lane only to make left turns. This lane must never be used for through traffic.

Not quite. The answer is left-edge lines.

On one-way roadways and divided highways, a yellow line indicates the left edge.

Not quite. The answer is A playground is ahead.

This is a warning sign indicating a playground ahead.

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 stop unless you are already in the intersection.

A steady yellow traffic light indicates that the traffic light is about to turn red. If you are already in the intersection, continue 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 getting rear-ended by the vehicle behind you. If you cannot stop safely, proceed with caution through the intersection.
