Utah DMV Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

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 separates two lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited.

A double solid white line separates two lanes traveling in the same direction, but crossing the line is prohibited. Double solid white lines are often used on highways to separate an express or high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane from other lanes traveling in the same direction.

Not quite. The answer is exit number 117 is ahead.

This sign represents an exit number. This is a number assigned to a highway exit at an interchange. If an interchange has more than one exit, a letter may be added to indicate the particular exit: 117A, 117B, etc.

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

When there is a dashed line (white or yellow) next to your lane, you are allowed to pass.

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 have already entered the intersection, don't block the intersection. Perform the maneuver you intended to make and clear the intersection safely.

Not quite. The answer is vehicles must not exceed the posted speed limit of 40 mph.

This sign shows that the speed limit is 40 mph. This is the maximum speed you can travel under ideal conditions.

Not quite. The answer is guide drivers into certain traffic lanes.

Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels may be used in work zones in both day and night to guide drivers into certain traffic lanes and inform them that part of the road or street ahead is closed.

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 A

The school zone sign is pentagonal (five sided) with a yellow or yellow-green background.

Not quite. The answer is an intersection with U.S. Route 22 is ahead.

This sign means that you are approaching a junction of your roadway and U.S. Route 22. The U.S. Routes are a network of roads and highways whose construction began decades before the start of the Interstate Highway System. U.S. Route 22, one of the oldest, runs from Cincinnati OH to Newark NJ.

Not quite. The answer is Road turns ahead; slow to a safe speed.

The road ahead changes direction sharply. Drivers must slow down to a safe speed.

Not quite. The answer is doubled

In Utah, fines for speeding in a work (construction) zone are at least doubled when workers are present, but only if there are signs posted to warn drivers about the increased fines.

Not quite. The answer is A traffic island or divider ahead

This sign indicates a traffic island, median, or divider ahead. Keep right of this obstacle.

Not quite. The answer is Yes, this is a "protected" turn, so you'll have the right-of-way over oncoming traffic.

The red light stops vehicles from proceeding straight through the intersection, while the green arrow allows vehicles to turn left. This is a "protected" turn; oncoming traffic is stopped at a red light while the green arrow is lit for you. However, you must still yield to vehicles already in the intersection and crossing pedestrians before you turn.

Not quite. The answer is Left turns are allowed when the steady green signal is lit and there are no oncoming vehicles.

This sign is usually posted at an intersection that has a combination of signals, including a green arrow that points left. When the green arrow is lit, you may make a left turn as a protected turn; oncoming traffic will be stopped at a red light. This sign indicates that when the green arrow goes out and a steady green light comes on, you may still make a left turn, but now you'll have to yield to oncoming vehicles before you turn.

Not quite. The answer is Proceed with caution.

Normally, you must stop for a stopped school bus whose red lights are flashing, no matter which direction it is traveling in. In Utah, however, there are three exceptions to this rule. (1) The school bus is stopped on the opposite side of a divided highway.(2) The school bus is stopped on the opposite side of a roadway that has a shared center turn lane. (3) The school bus has stopped at the direction of a traffic signal or police officer. [Rules for School Buses, Section 8: General Driving, Utah Driver Handbook],

Not quite. The answer is You are approaching a right turn.

This sign accompanies a route marker sign. It means that you must soon turn right to enter or continue on that route.

Not quite. The answer is driving the wrong way on a one-way street.

Driving on the wrong side of the road and driving the wrong way on a one-way street each carry 60 points. Failing to obey a red light, failing to obey a stop sign, and improper passing each carry 50 points.

Not quite. The answer is from the left lane and make the turn close to the left curb.

To turn left from a one-way street onto another one-way street, you must start the turn from the left lane and make the turn close to the left curb, unless signs, signals, or pavement markings indicate otherwise.

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.
