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.

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

What does this yellow symbol warn you to watch for?

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

What does this pennant identify?
Correct answer: The start of a no-passing zone.

What does the number on this white sign identify?
Correct answer: The posted speed limit for ordinary driving.
The sign states the posted speed limit, not an advisory curve speed. The pictured 50 is an illustration, not a statewide default. Unsafe conditions can require a lower speed; this recognition question does not address Wyoming's separately qualified passing-speed exception.

A plaque below a railroad crossbuck identifies more than one track. What should that add to your crossing assessment?
Correct answer: Watch for another train on a different track before crossing.
A multiple-track plaque alerts you to additional tracks. Do not assume every track is clear because a train has passed on one of them.

What instruction does this orange DETOUR arrow give?

A two-way road has the single broken yellow center line shown. What does the marking permit?
Correct answer: Passing from either direction when the maneuver is otherwise safe and lawful.
A broken yellow center line identifies a passing-permitted section in both directions. It does not remove the need for a clear view, a safe gap, and compliance with other restrictions.

You are in the lane beside the solid yellow line in this pair. What does that mean for passing a slower car?
Correct answer: You must not cross the center lines for that pass.
The center-line pattern applies according to the line nearest your lane. A solid yellow line on your side prohibits passing across it.
