Review all 8 questions with answers
  1. At the junction warned about by this sign, what happens to the road you are following?

    Correct answer: It ends; you must turn left or right.

    The stem of the T ends at the crossbar. Prepare to choose a turn, slow down and obey the actual controls and right-of-way rules at the junction.

  2. What feature should you watch for on the side indicated by this sign?

    Correct answer: A side road joining from the right.

    The branch indicates a side-road intersection. Watch for traffic entering or crossing your path; this symbol does not order you to turn.

  3. Which type of intersection is this sign warning you to approach?

    Correct answer: A roundabout or circular intersection.

  4. What does this round sign tell you before you reach the marked location?

    Correct answer: A railroad crossing is ahead; watch for trains and crossing controls.

    The round sign is advance warning of a railroad crossing. It is different from the crossbuck at the tracks and does not give traffic priority over trains.

  5. What should the school-related symbol on this sign prompt you to watch for?

    Correct answer: Children walking or crossing near the school area.

    The five-sided school sign calls attention to children. Slow down and watch carefully; any separate speed or crossing-location plaque adds its own information.

  6. What does this yellow symbol warn you to watch for?

    Correct answer: Pedestrians near or crossing the roadway.

    The walking figure is a warning of pedestrian activity. A red circle and slash would indicate a prohibition instead.

  7. Which service is identified by the white letter on this blue sign?

    Correct answer: A hospital.

    The H identifies hospital service. Accompanying direction signs show how to reach it; it does not assign a traffic lane.

  8. What does this pennant identify?

    Correct answer: The start of a no-passing zone.

    The pennant marks a no-passing zone. It does not provide permission to overtake merely because the view beyond it appears open.
