Road Signs Test Road Signs Test Traffic Control and Signal Signs 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What does a solid red traffic light signal require a driver to do?
- Slow down and proceed with caution
- Stop completely before the stop line or crosswalk (Correct answer)
- Yield to pedestrians only
- Continue if no other vehicles are present
Correct answer: Stop completely before the stop line or crosswalk
A solid red light requires all drivers to come to a complete stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection.
Question 2: A green arrow traffic signal means:
- Proceed with caution in any direction
- You have a protected turn in the direction the arrow points, oncoming traffic is stopped (Correct answer)
- Oncoming traffic also has a green light
- Yield before turning in the arrow's direction
Correct answer: You have a protected turn in the direction the arrow points, oncoming traffic is stopped
A green arrow indicates a protected turn movement — traffic in the arrow's direction has the right of way and opposing traffic is stopped.
Question 3: What does a flashing yellow traffic light mean?
- Stop — treat as a red light
- Proceed with caution (Correct answer)
- The signal is about to turn red
- You have the right of way
Correct answer: Proceed with caution
A flashing yellow traffic light means proceed with caution — you do not need to stop but must be alert for hazards and cross traffic.
Question 4: When traffic lights are completely out at an intersection, drivers should:
- Proceed without stopping — the road is open
- Treat the intersection as a four-way stop (Correct answer)
- Yield only to drivers on the main road
- Wait for police before proceeding
Correct answer: Treat the intersection as a four-way stop
When traffic signals are dark, treat the intersection as a four-way stop — all drivers must stop and yield in turn.
Question 5: What does a 'Do Not Block Intersection' sign mean?
- Do not park within 30 feet of the intersection
- Do not enter the intersection unless you can clear it before the light changes (Correct answer)
- Do not turn at this intersection
- Pedestrians must not cross here
Correct answer: Do not enter the intersection unless you can clear it before the light changes
This sign prohibits drivers from entering an intersection unless they can fully clear it, preventing gridlock that blocks cross traffic.
Question 6: A 'No Turn on Red' sign at a traffic signal means:
- You may turn right after a brief stop
- Turning right or left on a red light is prohibited at that intersection (Correct answer)
- You must turn on red if traffic allows
- Only left turns on red are prohibited
Correct answer: Turning right or left on a red light is prohibited at that intersection
A 'No Turn on Red' sign overrides the standard right-on-red rule and prohibits any turn while the signal is red.
