This sign gives advance warning of a yield sign ahead. Prepare to slow down and yield to vehicles approaching from other roadways.

Not quite. The answer is an object marker on a roadway.

This is an object marker sign, which is used to notify drivers of objects in the roadway or very close to the edge of the roadway. The stripes point downward toward the safe side of the roadway. This sign indicates that you should keep right to pass the object.

Not quite. The answer is stop

Treat a flashing red light like a stop sign. That is, come to a complete stop and then yield the right-of-way before proceeding.

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 Fines for speeding may be doubled.

Slow down in work zones. You must obey all traffic control devices, including channelizing devices and speed limit signs. In Texas, fines for disobeying any traffic control device (such as a speed limit sign) are doubled in work zones when workers are present.

Not quite. The answer is in fog, snow, or heavy rain.

Use high beams whenever there are no oncoming vehicles nearby. High beams allow you to see twice as far as low beams. Be sure to use high beams on unfamiliar roads, in construction areas, or where there may be people alongside the road. However, use low beams in fog, rain, or snow. Light from high beams reflects back from such precipitation and can cause glare.

Not quite. The answer is Do not make a right turn.

The arrow depicts a right turn. However, a red slash inside a red circle means "no." This regulatory sign prohibits drivers from making a right turn. This sign is located on the right side of a roadway or over a travel lane.

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 All of the above

You should usually keep right except to pass, turn left, or avoid an obstruction that is blocking the right side of the road. Never drive on the left side of the road when there are two or more traffic lanes in each direction; when pavement markings prohibit driving on the left; or when you're within 100 feet of an intersection, railroad crossing, bridge, viaduct, or tunnel.

Not quite. The answer is The road ahead curves to the right and then to the left.

This sign indicates a double curve ahead. The road ahead curves to the right and then to the left. (If there were a triple curve ahead, a winding road sign would be posted instead.) Slow down, keep right, and do not pass.

Not quite. The answer is Cattle crossing ahead

This sign indicates that drivers need to watch for cattle crossing the road.

Not quite. The answer is passing is allowed if done safely.

Broken white lines indicate that passing is allowed when it can be done safely.

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 between 15 and 50 feet

Under Texas law, when you approach a railroad crossing that a train is approaching, you must stop your vehicle between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail.

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

White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. You are required to drive between these lane lines.
