Review all 128 questions with answers

  1. In Indiana, a steady red arrow faces your right-turn lane. No sign prohibits the turn. What must happen before you may turn right?

    Correct answer: Stop completely and yield to traffic and pedestrians.

    Indiana allows a right turn on a red light or red arrow after a complete stop, when no sign prohibits it and the turn can be made safely after yielding.

  2. You are on a one-way street, turning left onto another one-way street. The signal is red and no sign bans the turn. What does Indiana allow?

    Correct answer: A left turn after stopping and yielding, if the way is clear.

    Indiana permits this one-way-to-one-way left turn on red after a complete stop and yielding. The street configuration and absence of a prohibition matter.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Red Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  3. You face a red light on a two-way street and want to turn left onto a one-way street. Does Indiana's one-way-to-one-way exception apply?

    Correct answer: No; your starting street is two-way.

    The manual limits the left-on-red permission to a turn from a one-way street onto another one-way street. A two-way starting street does not satisfy that condition.

  4. Your light is green, but oncoming traffic is close as you prepare to turn left. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Yield until a safe gap is available.

    A circular green signal does not protect a left turn from oncoming traffic. Yield to conflicting vehicles and pedestrians before completing the turn.

  5. One vehicle is already in the intersection waiting to turn left under a green light. What does the Indiana manual say about following it into the intersection?

    Correct answer: Only one vehicle at a time may be in the intersection to make the left turn.

    The manual specifies one vehicle at a time in the intersection for a left turn. Do not form a queue inside the intersection behind the waiting vehicle.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Green Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  6. A flashing yellow arrow is displayed for your left turn. What does it mean?

    Correct answer: You may turn after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

    A flashing yellow arrow permits a cautious, unprotected turn. It does not guarantee that conflicting traffic has stopped.

  7. A traffic light is flashing red and the intersection looks empty. How should you proceed?

    Correct answer: Stop completely, check for conflicts, then proceed when safe.

    Flashing red requires a stop. An apparently empty intersection does not remove that requirement; proceed only after yielding as needed.

  8. An ordinary traffic signal has gone completely dark. What should you do at the intersection?

    Correct answer: Stop and yield to traffic already there and other users with priority.

    A non-operating traffic signal requires stopping. Yield to vehicles already in the intersection, earlier arrivals, vehicles on your right when appropriate, and pedestrians.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Approaching an Intersection with Non-Operating Signal, printed page 35 (physical PDF 40); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  9. A NO TURN ON RED sign applies to your lane. You have stopped and see a clear right turn. What now?

    Correct answer: Wait for a signal that permits the turn.

    A posted prohibition removes the usual right-on-red permission. Stopping and finding a gap do not override the sign.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Red Traffic Signals, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  10. A painted white stop line is before the crosswalk at a red light. Where should you stop?

    Correct answer: Before the stop line.

    Use the marked stop line. When no line exists, stop before the crosswalk or intersection rather than occupying the pedestrian crossing.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Approaching a Red Light or Stop Sign, printed page 35 (physical PDF 40); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  11. The green light changes to steady yellow while you can still stop safely. What is the appropriate response?

    Correct answer: Stop before entering the intersection.

    Steady yellow warns that the right of way is ending. It is not an instruction to speed up; stop when you can do so safely.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Yellow Traffic Signals, printed page 33 (physical PDF 38); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  12. A green turn arrow appears, but a pedestrian is still in the path of your turn. What must you do?

    Correct answer: Yield and let the pedestrian clear your path.

    A green arrow permits movement in its direction, but does not authorize striking or cutting off someone lawfully clearing the intersection.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Traffic Signals — Green Arrow, printed page 34 (physical PDF 39); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  13. A pedestrian hybrid beacon shows two steady red lights over a crosswalk. What must you do?

    Correct answer: Stop and remain stopped while the red indication is steady.

    Steady red is the stop phase while pedestrians cross. The later alternating flashing-red phase has different stop-and-yield instructions.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons, printed page 36 (physical PDF 41); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  14. The pedestrian beacon has changed from steady red to alternating flashing red. What should an arriving driver do?

    Correct answer: Stop, then proceed only when the crossing is clear.

    Flashing red still requires a stop before proceeding when safe. These beacons return to dark after the crossing sequence; they do not display a green phase.

  15. Another car stops at an all-way stop before you do. Both drivers intend to go straight. Who normally proceeds first?

    Correct answer: The other car, after checking that it is safe.

    At an all-way stop, the first vehicle to stop is normally first to proceed. Drivers must still watch for conflicts rather than treating priority as a guarantee.

  16. Two cars going straight stop at an all-way stop at the same time. The other car is to your right. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Yield to the car on your right.

    When arrivals are simultaneous, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. If priority is uncertain, avoid forcing a conflict.

  17. What does a yellow center line normally separate?

    Correct answer: Traffic traveling in opposite directions.

    Yellow markings divide opposing traffic. The solid or broken pattern then helps determine where passing is permitted.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Lane Markings — Yellow Lane Markings, printed page 37 (physical PDF 42); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  18. A broken white line separates your lane from the next lane. What does it indicate?

    Correct answer: Same-direction lanes; change lanes only when safe.

    White lines separate traffic moving in the same direction. A broken line permits a safe lane change, not an automatic right to move over.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Lane Markings — White Lane Markings, printed page 37 (physical PDF 42); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  19. The center line is solid yellow on your side and broken on the opposite side. May you cross it to pass a moving car?

    Correct answer: No; the solid line is on your side.

    The solid line on your side prohibits this passing maneuver. Do not borrow permission from the broken line facing opposing traffic.

  20. Before passing on a two-way road, you judge when you can return right. The manual requires you to be back at least how far before an oncoming vehicle?

    Correct answer: 100 feet.

    The manual requires returning to the right at least 100 feet before an oncoming vehicle. Do not begin a pass unless the entire maneuver can be completed safely.

  21. You have passed a car on the left. Which visual check helps you avoid cutting it off when returning?

    Correct answer: See the passed vehicle in your rearview mirror before signaling and returning.

    Continue forward until the passed vehicle is visible in your rearview mirror, then signal and return when safe. Being slightly ahead is not sufficient clearance.

  22. A driver is overtaking you on the left. How should you respond?

    Correct answer: Allow the pass and do not increase your speed.

    Do not increase speed while being passed. Give the other driver room to finish the maneuver safely.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Being Passed, printed page 38 (physical PDF 43); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  23. Your mirrors look clear before a lane change. What additional check does the manual call for?

    Correct answer: Briefly turn your head toward the lane to check the blind spot.

    Mirrors leave blind spots. A brief head check helps confirm that the adjacent lane has room before you signal and move smoothly into it.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Changing Lanes and Passing Other Vehicles, printed page 37 (physical PDF 42); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  24. You need to move two lanes over for an upcoming turn. What is the safer method?

    Correct answer: Change one lane at a time, checking and signaling each move.

    Indiana's manual directs drivers to change only one lane at a time. Recheck traffic before each movement instead of weaving across several lanes.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Changing Lanes and Passing Other Vehicles, printed page 37 (physical PDF 42); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  25. When should you communicate your intention to turn or change lanes?

    Correct answer: Before beginning the maneuver.

    Use the proper turn signal before turning or changing lanes. The signal informs others; it does not give you priority over traffic already in the lane.

    Source: Indiana Driver's Manual, Signaling Intention to Turn, printed page 39 (physical PDF 44); downloaded September 14, 2026. ↗

  26. At an ordinary intersection with no markings allowing turns from other lanes, where should you prepare for a right turn?

    Correct answer: In the far-right lane for your direction of travel.

    Prepare in the proper lane well before turning. The ordinary right turn starts from the far-right lane; follow special lane controls where provided.

  27. A center lane is designated for left turns from both directions. Can you use it to pass a slow vehicle?

    Correct answer: No; it is not a passing lane.

    The center lane serves left-turning vehicles, including vehicles coming toward you. Using it for passing creates a head-on conflict.

  28. You realize you are traveling the wrong direction on an interstate. How should you change direction?

    Correct answer: Use the next exit and re-enter in the correct direction.

    Do not make a U-turn on an interstate. Continue to a normal exit rather than using an emergency crossover or backing against traffic.

  29. You approach a roundabout while vehicles are circulating toward your entry. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Yield to circulating traffic; enter in a safe gap.

    Incoming traffic yields to traffic already circulating. Indiana roundabout traffic moves counterclockwise around the central island.

  30. You are approaching a multilane roundabout. When should you choose the lane for your exit?

    Correct answer: Before entering, using the signs and pavement markings.

    Choose the correct lane on the approach. The manual tells drivers not to change lanes within the circulatory roadway.

  98. Crossing traffic has priority as you approach this triangular sign. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Slow down and stop if needed to give way.

    YIELD means give way to conflicting traffic. Slowing may be sufficient, but you must stop when necessary to avoid interfering with traffic that has priority.

  99. The pictured sign faces your car at a ramp entrance. Is the ramp available to you from this end?

    Correct answer: No; entry from this direction is prohibited.

    DO NOT ENTER is used to prevent entry in the wrong direction. An empty ramp or a navigation instruction does not make entry permitted.

  100. You see this red rectangular sign facing you on a one-way roadway. What does it tell you?

    Correct answer: You are headed against the permitted traffic direction.

    WRONG WAY supplements DO NOT ENTER. It warns that your direction of travel conflicts with the direction allowed on the roadway.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.47, printed page 110 (physical PDF 151). ↗

  101. Which maneuver is prohibited by the arrow and red slash in this sign?

    Correct answer: Turning around to travel in the opposite direction.

    The curved arrow that doubles back, crossed by a red circle and slash, means No U-Turn. Do not confuse it with the angled arrow on a No Left Turn sign.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.26, printed page 89 (physical PDF 130). ↗

  102. At an intersection with this sign and no exception plaque, which choice is prohibited?

    Correct answer: Making a right turn from this approach.

    The red slash crosses a right-turn arrow. It prohibits that turn from the approach; waiting for a gap does not remove the restriction.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.26, printed page 89 (physical PDF 130). ↗

  103. The sign shown applies to your intersection approach. What is its message?

    Correct answer: Do not make a left turn here.

    A left-turn arrow under a red circle and slash prohibits a left turn. A required-turn sign instead shows an uncrossed arrow and the word ONLY.

  104. What does this plain rectangular sign prohibit at the intersection?

    Correct answer: Turning movements from this approach.

    NO TURNS is a movement-prohibition sign. It is not an instruction to stop and then turn, and it is not limited to a particular one-way destination.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.26, printed page 89 (physical PDF 130). ↗

  105. The pictured arrow and ONLY sign is above your lane. Which movement is required from that lane?

    Correct answer: Turn left through the intersection.

    A mandatory lane-control sign specifies one required movement. The left arrow with ONLY designates a left-turn-only lane, not an optional through lane.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.28, printed page 92 (physical PDF 133). ↗

  106. An upward arrow with ONLY is posted over your lane. How must that lane be used?

    Correct answer: Proceed straight through the intersection.

    The straight arrow with ONLY designates a through-only lane. It does not grant permission to make a turn from that lane.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.28, printed page 93 (physical PDF 134). ↗

  107. This sign is above a single approach lane. Which movements does it allow from that lane?

    Correct answer: Straight ahead or left.

    The two arrow branches indicate the permitted movements: straight and left. It is an optional-movement sign, so the lane is not restricted to only a left turn.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.29, printed page 93 (physical PDF 134). ↗

  108. You are in the left lane as you reach the intersection governed by this sign. What must that lane do?

    Correct answer: Make the indicated left turn.

    LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT designates the required movement for the left lane. A green signal does not turn it into a through lane.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.28, printed page 92 (physical PDF 133). ↗

  109. What does the number on this white SPEED LIMIT sign represent?

    Correct answer: The posted maximum speed in miles per hour.

    A SPEED LIMIT sign states the legal speed limit, not a curve advisory or a route distance. The number shown is an example of a posted limit, not an Indiana statewide default.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.21, printed page 85 (physical PDF 126). ↗

  110. This MINIMUM SPEED 40 plaque is mounted beneath a speed-limit sign. What does the 40 identify?

    Correct answer: The posted minimum legal speed in mph.

    A MINIMUM SPEED plaque identifies the posted minimum legal speed and is used with a maximum-speed sign. It is not a night limit or a curve advisory. The illustration shows only the plaque.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2B.24, printed page 87 (physical PDF 128). ↗

  111. What should you expect beyond the pictured warning sign on the main road?

    Correct answer: Traffic from the right joins a shared lane.

    The branch joining the main arrow indicates a merge from the right. Unlike an Added Lane sign, it warns that the converging traffic will share a lane.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.45, printed page 183 (physical PDF 224). ↗

  112. How does this sign differ from a merge warning?

    Correct answer: The entering roadway adds a separate lane.

    The two distinct arrows separated by a dashed line indicate an added lane. The roadways converge without requiring a merge at that point.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.46, printed page 183 (physical PDF 224). ↗

  113. You are traveling in the right lane when this sign appears. What roadway change does it warn of?

    Correct answer: The right lane ends ahead.

    The right-side line bends toward the continuing lane, indicating a reduction in lanes. This is a lane-ending warning, not traffic entering from a separate roadway.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.47, printed page 183 (physical PDF 224). ↗

  114. What does the pair of arrows pointing in opposite directions warn you about?

    Correct answer: Traffic moving in both directions on the roadway.

    The downward and upward arrows identify two-way traffic. Do not interpret them as two same-direction lanes or a turn-choice sign.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.51, printed page 189 (physical PDF 230). ↗

  115. What restriction begins where this yellow pennant is installed?

    Correct answer: A no-passing zone.

    The pennant-shaped NO PASSING ZONE sign marks the beginning of a no-passing zone. Its shape and message are different from a lane-ending or one-way sign.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.53, printed page 190 (physical PDF 231). ↗

  116. What does this word-message warning tell a driver in the right lane?

    Correct answer: The right traffic lane ends ahead.

    RIGHT LANE ENDS warns of a reduction in the number of traffic lanes. It does not mean merely a shoulder closure or a mandatory freeway exit.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.47, printed page 183 (physical PDF 224). ↗

  117. What does the small red octagon inside this yellow diamond mean?

    Correct answer: A stop sign controls the road farther ahead.

    This is Stop Ahead, an advance warning. It prepares you for the actual STOP control ahead; the yellow warning sign is not itself the stop location.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.35, printed page 177 (physical PDF 218). ↗

  118. Why is a yield-shaped symbol shown inside this yellow warning sign?

    Correct answer: A yield control is located ahead.

    Yield Ahead warns you to prepare for the yield control farther along your approach. It does not give your vehicle priority over crossing traffic.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.35, printed page 177 (physical PDF 218). ↗

  119. The sign in the image warns of which feature farther along the road?

    Correct answer: A traffic signal controlling the road ahead.

    Signal Ahead gives advance notice of traffic lights. It does not tell you which light will be showing when you arrive; respond to the actual signal.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.35, printed page 177 (physical PDF 218). ↗

  120. Which surface change is this sign warning you to expect?

    Correct answer: The road has a sharp rise ahead.

    BUMP warns of a sharp rise in the roadway profile. A DIP sign warns of a depression; PAVEMENT ENDS describes a surface-material change.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.26, printed page 173 (physical PDF 214). ↗

  121. What road shape does the pictured sign identify?

    Correct answer: A sharp depression in the roadway.

    DIP warns of a depression in the road profile. It is a surface warning rather than a lane-use instruction or a speed-limit sign.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.26, printed page 173 (physical PDF 214). ↗

  122. What change should you expect after this sign?

    Correct answer: The paved road changes to an unpaved surface.

    PAVEMENT ENDS warns that the paved surface changes to gravel-treated or earth roadway. It does not necessarily mean the road itself terminates.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.28, printed page 173 (physical PDF 214). ↗

  123. Which area and condition does the pictured sign warn about?

    Correct answer: Soft ground on the road shoulder.

    SOFT SHOULDER identifies a shoulder condition. It is not a statement that every traffic lane is unpaved or that a new numerical speed limit begins.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.29, printed page 173 (physical PDF 214). ↗

  124. What hazard is represented by the car and winding tracks on this sign?

    Correct answer: Unexpected slippery roadway conditions.

    The skidding-car symbol warns of slippery conditions, commonly when wet. Its winding tracks do not represent a curving route or lane-change arrows.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.30, printed page 175 (physical PDF 216). ↗

  125. What is the message of this yellow ROAD MAY FLOOD sign?

    Correct answer: The road ahead is subject to flooding.

    ROAD MAY FLOOD warns that a roadway section is subject to frequent flooding. The sign is a hazard warning, not permission or assurance that standing water is safe to cross.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 2C.34, printed page 176 (physical PDF 217). ↗

  126. What does the 1000 FT on this orange sign tell you?

    Correct answer: Road work is approximately 1,000 feet ahead.

    ROAD WORK with a distance is an advance warning of work-related obstructions or restrictions ahead. The distance is not the length of the work zone or a speed limit.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 6H.03, printed page 802 (physical PDF 843). ↗

  127. You see the pictured orange sign before a work area. What should you expect?

    Correct answer: A flagger controlling traffic ahead.

    The flag-holding figure indicates a flagger ahead who controls traffic through the work area. The warning is not itself a command to pass another vehicle.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 6H.15, printed page 806 (physical PDF 847). ↗

  128. What does this round yellow sign identify?

    Correct answer: A railroad grade crossing farther ahead.

    The round yellow sign with an X and two Rs warns of a grade crossing ahead. It is different from the crossbuck located at the crossing and does not indicate that the tracks are unused.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD, 11th Edition with Revision 1 (December 2025), Section 8B.06, printed page 1001 (physical PDF 1042). ↗
