Wisconsin DMV Permit: Signs & Signals Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is When you have a green light or green arrow

This sign indicates that you are not allowed to turn on a red light. If you want to turn right, you must wait for a green arrow or green light.

Not quite. The answer is each side has a solid yellow line.

On a two-lane road, two solid yellow lines mean that passing is prohibited on both sides. You may cross the yellow lines only to make a left turn. (In Wisconsin, there is one exception to this usual rule: You may cross two solid yellow lines to pass a vehicle other than an agricultural vehicle but only if it is traveling at less than half the speed limit.)

Not quite. The answer is stop line.

A stop line is a wide white line painted across a traffic lane before an intersection. You must stop before the stop line if there is a stop sign or red traffic light.

Not quite. The answer is Warning signs

Warning signs alert you to possible hazards ahead. Slow down and watch for other signs or signals that may follow.

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 driver and all passengers

Under Wisconsin law, all occupants of a motor vehicle – the driver and all passengers – must wear safety belts or appropriate child restraints. Safety belts have been proven to save lives – even in the rear seat.

Not quite. The answer is a dashed white line

On a multilane roadway, a dashed white line separates two lanes moving in the same direction. You may cross the dashed white line to pass or change lanes if it's safe to do so.

Not quite. The answer is you must not drive in this lane.

Lane-use control signals are special overhead signals that permit or prohibit the use of specific lanes of a street or highway. A steady red X signal over a lane indicates that you must not drive in this lane.

Not quite. The answer is people with disabilities.

This sign features the International Symbol of Access for disabled persons. It means that these parking spaces are reserved for persons with disabled parking privileges. To park in these spaces, you must obtain a disabled parking placard or disabled license plates from your state.

Not quite. The answer is A pedestrian crosswalk ahead

This sign means that a pedestrian crosswalk is ahead. Slow down, proceed with caution, and prepare to yield to pedestrians.

Not quite. The answer is a bikeway crosses the roadway ahead.

This sign represents a bicycle crossing. This sign warns you in advance that a bikeway crosses the roadway ahead.

Not quite. The answer is An alternate route is 1,000 feet ahead.

This sign indicates that there is a road closure ahead but there is an alternate route in 1,000 feet.

Not quite. The answer is B

Blue-and-white signs direct you to services such as gas, food, motels, and hospitals. The sign shown in picture B indicates a hospital ahead.

Not quite. The answer is Bicyclists must not use this road.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This prohibitory sign indicates that bicycles are not allowed on this route.

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

In Wisconsin, you can turn left on a red light when you are turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, unless a sign prohibiting the turn is posted there. You must still come to a complete stop and yield to all pedestrians and traffic before you turn. Note: The laws on turning left on red are different in some other states. When traveling out of state, always check the local traffic laws.

Not quite. The answer is Car B

Stop or yield signs can give preferential right-of-way to a certain roadway at an intersection. Here, Cars A and C are each facing a yield sign, so both of them must yield to Car B.

Not quite. The answer is The divided highway ends ahead.

This sign warns that the divided highway ends ahead. The roadway will become an undivided two-way roadway. Keep right and watch for oncoming vehicles.

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 You must go straight.

This sign means that you must go straight. You cannot turn here.

Not quite. The answer is illegal.

Texting while driving is now the leading cause of death among teenagers and is involved in 25% of all car accidents in the US. It is illegal to send text messages while driving.
