Question 1Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

In Georgia, what does a red octagonal sign always require a driver to do?

  1. Yield to traffic on the right
  2. Sound the horn before proceeding
  3. Come to a complete stop Correct answer.
  4. Reduce speed to 25 mph

Explanation

The octagon shape is reserved exclusively for STOP signs, and its red background reinforces the warning. Georgia law requires a full stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or edge of the intersection before proceeding. Rolling stops do not satisfy this requirement.

Question 2Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A yellow diamond-shaped sign on a Georgia highway generally communicates what type of information?

  1. A warning about a road condition or hazard ahead Correct answer.
  2. A regulatory requirement you must obey
  3. A guide to nearby services
  4. A work-zone restriction

Explanation

Yellow diamonds are the standard shape and color for warning signs, alerting drivers to curves, intersections, hills, and other hazards ahead. Regulatory signs are typically white rectangles or red-and-white, while guide signs are usually green. Recognizing the diamond tells you to slow down and prepare rather than to obey a command.

Question 3Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

What color are construction and maintenance warning signs that Georgia work zones use?

  1. Yellow
  2. White
  3. Orange Correct answer.
  4. Green

Explanation

Orange is reserved for construction and maintenance operations, so drivers instantly recognize an active work zone. A black legend and border appear on the orange background. Yellow warns of permanent hazards, while green guides and white regulates.

Question 4Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A pennant-shaped sign on the left side of a Georgia roadway warns of what?

  1. A no-passing zone Correct answer.
  2. A railroad crossing
  3. A pedestrian crossing
  4. A school crossing ahead

Explanation

The pennant shape, a horizontal triangle with the point to the right, is used only for NO PASSING ZONE signs. It is placed on the left side of the road where the restriction begins. No other sign uses this shape, making it easy to identify at a glance.

Question 5Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A circular yellow sign with a black X and the letters RR marks what?

  1. A railroad crossing ahead Correct answer.
  2. A restricted railroad parking area
  3. A hazardous intersection
  4. A crossing of two state routes

Explanation

The round yellow advance-warning sign with an RR symbol and X-shaped crossbuck graphic alerts drivers that a railroad crossing is ahead. Drivers should slow down, look, and listen before crossing the tracks. The circular shape is reserved for railroad advance warnings.

Question 6Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

In Georgia, a white rectangular sign with black lettering that reads SPEED LIMIT 55 is best classified as which sign type?

  1. Guide
  2. Work zone
  3. Regulatory Correct answer.
  4. Warning

Explanation

Speed limit signs are regulatory because they state a legal requirement that drivers must obey. White rectangular signs with black legends generally convey regulations such as speed limits, lane use, and turn restrictions. Warning signs are yellow, guide signs are green, and work-zone signs are orange.

Question 7Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A green rectangular sign on a Georgia interstate typically provides which information?

  1. A destination and distance Correct answer.
  2. A legal prohibition
  3. A temporary hazard
  4. A railroad warning

Explanation

Green guide signs provide navigational information such as destinations, distances, and exit directions. They help drivers plan routes and do not impose legal commands. Regulatory signs are white or red, warning signs yellow, and work-zone signs orange.

Question 8Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

What does a yellow diamond sign showing a black silhouette of a person walking indicate?

  1. A pedestrian crossing ahead Correct answer.
  2. A no-walking zone
  3. A hiking trail entrance
  4. A school bus stop

Explanation

The pedestrian symbol on a yellow diamond warns drivers that people may be crossing or walking along the road ahead. Drivers should reduce speed and be prepared to stop. A school crossing uses a pentagon-shaped sign instead.

Question 9Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver approaches a YIELD sign at a ramp merge. What is the correct action?

  1. Sound the horn and continue at the same speed
  2. Accelerate to merge ahead of existing traffic
  3. Slow down and give the right-of-way to traffic on the main road Correct answer.
  4. Stop completely before merging in every case

Explanation

A YIELD sign requires the driver to slow down and let cross or merging traffic proceed first. A full stop is required only when necessary to avoid conflict. Yielding does not mean accelerating to beat other vehicles.

Question 10Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver sees a yellow diamond sign with a black curved arrow pointing left. What should the driver do?

  1. Anticipate a divided highway ending
  2. Expect a left-turn-only lane
  3. Watch for a left lane closure
  4. Prepare for a left curve and reduce speed Correct answer.

Explanation

A curved arrow on a yellow diamond warns of a curve ahead in the direction the arrow points. Drivers should slow to a safe speed before entering the curve. Lane-use and turn restrictions appear on white regulatory signs instead.

Question 11Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

On a Georgia road, a white rectangular sign with a red circle and a diagonal slash over a symbol means what?

  1. The action shown is optional
  2. The action shown is recommended
  3. The action shown is required
  4. The action shown is prohibited Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash is the universal prohibition symbol, so the pictured action is forbidden. These signs are regulatory and legally enforceable. Drivers must not perform the action shown.

Question 12Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver in a Georgia work zone sees an orange sign reading ROAD WORK AHEAD. What is the safest response?

  1. Maintain speed and stay in the current lane
  2. Slow down and prepare for workers, equipment, or lane changes Correct answer.
  3. Change lanes without signaling to avoid the zone
  4. Stop immediately in the travel lane

Explanation

Orange work-zone signs warn of construction activity, so drivers should reduce speed and stay alert for workers, equipment, and shifted lanes. Stopping abruptly in a travel lane creates a rear-end hazard. Georgia law imposes higher penalties for speeding in active work zones.

Question 13Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A yellow diamond sign shows a black arrow curving to the right and then back to the left. What does this indicate?

  1. A reverse curve ahead Correct answer.
  2. A lane merge from the right
  3. A roundabout ahead
  4. A right-turn-only lane

Explanation

Two successive curves in opposite directions are shown with an S-shaped arrow on a yellow diamond, warning of a reverse curve. Drivers should reduce speed before the first curve. A single arrow indicates only one curve.

Question 14Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver approaches a school zone in Georgia with a yellow pentagon-shaped sign. What does the pentagon shape signify?

  1. A pedestrian mall
  2. A playground only
  3. A hospital zone
  4. A school crossing or school zone ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

The pentagon shape is used exclusively for school advance warning signs. Drivers should slow down and watch for children, crossing guards, and reduced speed limits during school hours. No other sign type uses the pentagon shape.

Question 15Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver sees a white rectangular sign reading LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT. This sign is best described as which type?

  1. Guide
  2. Recreational
  3. Warning
  4. Regulatory Correct answer.

Explanation

Lane-use signs are regulatory because they impose a legal requirement on drivers in that lane. White rectangular signs with black legends typically regulate traffic movements. Warning signs are yellow, and guide signs are green.

Question 16Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A brown rectangular sign on a Georgia highway most likely indicates what?

  1. A construction zone
  2. A regulatory restriction
  3. A railroad crossing
  4. A recreational area or point of interest Correct answer.

Explanation

Brown guide signs direct travelers to parks, historic sites, and other recreational or cultural attractions. They provide information rather than commands. Orange marks work zones, white regulates, and yellow warns.

Question 17Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver sees a yellow diamond sign depicting a black car with squiggly skid marks behind it. What hazard does this warn of?

  1. A car wash ahead
  2. A steep downgrade
  3. A slippery when wet road surface Correct answer.
  4. A vehicle inspection station

Explanation

The skidding-car symbol warns that the pavement may be slippery, especially when wet. Drivers should reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or steering. A steep downgrade is shown with a different symbol showing a truck on a slope.

Question 18Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver encounters a yellow diamond sign reading TWO-WAY TRAFFIC AHEAD. What should the driver expect?

  1. The road will become one-way
  2. A divided highway will begin
  3. A toll booth is ahead
  4. Oncoming traffic will share the roadway after the sign Correct answer.

Explanation

This warning tells drivers that a one-way road is about to become a two-way road, so oncoming vehicles will share the roadway. Drivers should keep to the right and avoid passing where prohibited. A divided highway is a different condition.

Question 19Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A white rectangular sign with a red border reading DO NOT ENTER is placed at what location?

  1. At the exit of a one-way road where drivers must not proceed Correct answer.
  2. At a school bus stop
  3. At the entrance to a parking lot
  4. At a pedestrian crosswalk

Explanation

DO NOT ENTER signs mark the wrong-way entrance to one-way roads such as freeway off-ramps. Drivers who see one are facing traffic and must not proceed. The sign is regulatory and legally enforceable.

Question 20Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver sees a yellow diamond sign reading LANE ENDS MERGE LEFT. Which action is most appropriate?

  1. Continue at the same speed and merge at the last moment
  2. Merge left early after checking mirrors and blind spots Correct answer.
  3. Stop in the ending lane and wait
  4. Move right into the shoulder

Explanation

The sign warns that the right lane is ending, so drivers should merge left smoothly after checking mirrors and blind spots. Late or abrupt merging increases collision risk. Stopping in a live lane is dangerous and usually illegal.

Question 21Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

In Georgia, an active work zone with a posted reduced speed limit is in effect. A driver who exceeds the limit by 15 mph faces what consequence compared with a normal speeding ticket?

  1. Enhanced penalties because the violation occurred in a work zone Correct answer.
  2. No penalty if no workers are visible
  3. The same penalty as a normal speeding ticket
  4. A warning only

Explanation

Georgia law provides enhanced penalties for speeding and other moving violations committed in active work zones. The higher fines apply whether or not workers are immediately visible, because the zone is still active. Drivers should always obey the posted work-zone limit.

Question 22Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver sees a yellow diamond sign showing a black arrow splitting into two arrows, one straight and one curving right. What does this signify?

  1. A right turn only lane
  2. A divided highway begins and traffic may pass on either side Correct answer.
  3. A lane closure ahead
  4. A roundabout

Explanation

The splitting-arrow symbol warns that a divided highway is beginning, so traffic will separate around a median. Drivers should choose the appropriate side and not cross the median. A single arrow would indicate a simple turn or curve.

Question 23Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver approaches a railroad crossing with a crossbuck sign and flashing red lights. What is the required action?

  1. Proceed if no train is visible
  2. Sound the horn and continue
  3. Stop and remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the way is clear Correct answer.
  4. Slow down and cross quickly

Explanation

Flashing red lights at a railroad crossing require drivers to stop and remain stopped until the lights stop and the tracks are clear. A crossbuck alone indicates a yield requirement, but active lights impose a stop. Proceeding on sight alone is dangerous because trains approach faster than they appear.

Question 24Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver sees a white rectangular sign reading NO TURN ON RED at an intersection. How does this change the general Georgia rule?

  1. It applies only to trucks
  2. It permits a left turn on red
  3. It confirms that right turns on red are allowed everywhere
  4. It prohibits a right turn on red at this intersection Correct answer.

Explanation

Georgia generally allows a right turn on red after a full stop unless a sign prohibits it. A NO TURN ON RED sign overrides that default and makes the turn illegal at that location. Drivers must obey the posted restriction regardless of vehicle type.

Question 25Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A driver sees an orange sign reading FLAGGER AHEAD in a Georgia work zone. What does this require?

  1. Expect a police escort
  2. Anticipate a lane closure with no personnel
  3. Prepare to stop or slow for a person directing traffic Correct answer.
  4. Ignore the sign if no flagger is visible

Explanation

A FLAGGER AHEAD sign warns that a person will be controlling traffic, so drivers must be ready to stop or slow as directed. The flagger's signals take precedence over normal traffic flow. Ignoring the sign because no flagger is visible is unsafe and unlawful.

Question 26Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a yellow diamond sign with a black symbol of a truck tilted on a slope beside a percentage figure. What does this sign warn of?

  1. A steep grade ahead where heavy vehicles may lose speed Correct answer.
  2. A lane reserved for commercial vehicles only
  3. A truck route that ends at the next interchange
  4. A weigh station requiring all trucks to stop

Explanation

Yellow diamond signs are warning signs, and a truck on an incline paired with a percentage tells drivers that a steep downgrade or upgrade lies ahead. The percentage shows the grade, alerting drivers, especially those with heavy loads, to adjust speed and gearing.

Question 27Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

On a Georgia roadway, a yellow diamond sign showing a black bicycle symbol warns the driver to expect which condition?

  1. A path where bicycles are prohibited
  2. Cyclists crossing or sharing the roadway ahead Correct answer.
  3. A bicycle rental station at the next exit
  4. A bike lane that is closed for construction

Explanation

A yellow diamond is a warning sign, and the bicycle symbol alerts motorists that cyclists may be crossing or sharing the road ahead. Drivers should slow down and watch for riders entering their path.

Question 28Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a yellow diamond sign bearing a black cross symbol. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A cemetery boundary begins here
  2. A hospital emergency entrance is ahead
  3. A four-way intersection is approaching Correct answer.
  4. A church or place of worship is nearby

Explanation

A cross-shaped symbol on a yellow warning diamond indicates a crossroad intersection ahead, where traffic may enter from side roads. Drivers should be prepared to yield or stop as required.

Question 29Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver approaches an intersection where a yellow diamond sign shows a black arrow forming a circle with a slash through part of it. This sign is best understood as warning of what?

  1. A U-turn permitted only for emergency vehicles
  2. A one-way street entering from the right
  3. A roundabout ahead where traffic circulates counterclockwise Correct answer.
  4. A dead-end street requiring a turnaround

Explanation

The circular arrow warning symbol announces a roundabout ahead, where entering drivers yield to circulating traffic and travel counterclockwise in the United States. The sign prepares drivers to slow and choose the correct lane.

Question 30Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a yellow diamond sign showing a black arrow bending sharply to the left with a smaller speed plate reading 25 MPH beneath it. What does the advisory speed mean?

  1. The maximum safe speed for the curve is about 25 mph in good conditions Correct answer.
  2. The curve length is 25 miles
  3. All traffic must stop within 25 feet of the curve
  4. The legal minimum speed through the curve is 25 mph

Explanation

An advisory speed plate under a curve warning sign recommends the maximum speed that is reasonable for the curve under favorable conditions. It is not the posted regulatory limit, but exceeding it increases rollover and runoff risk.

Question 31Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver encounters a yellow diamond sign depicting a black traffic signal with a red light illuminated. What should the driver anticipate?

  1. A railroad crossing with flashing lights
  2. A pedestrian signal that never turns green
  3. A traffic signal ahead that may require a stop Correct answer.
  4. A signal that is permanently out of service

Explanation

The traffic-signal-ahead warning tells drivers that a signalized intersection is coming and the light may be red, requiring a stop. Because the signal may be around a curve or over a hill, drivers should reduce speed and be ready to brake.

Question 32Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

On a Georgia highway, a yellow diamond sign shows a black symbol of a deer. What is the most appropriate driver response?

  1. Sound the horn continuously to scare animals away
  2. Watch the shoulders and reduce speed, especially at dawn and dusk Correct answer.
  3. Speed up to pass through the area before dusk
  4. Stop and wait for a guide vehicle to lead the way

Explanation

The deer crossing warning alerts drivers that animals may enter the roadway, and deer are most active near dawn and dusk. Reducing speed and scanning the shoulders gives drivers more time to react.

Question 33Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a yellow diamond sign with the word BUMP beneath a black symbol of a raised road surface. What does this sign tell the driver?

  1. The shoulder is paved for bicycle use
  2. A toll booth raises a barrier ahead
  3. A pavement drop-off or bump ahead may require reduced speed Correct answer.
  4. The road surface is being repaved today

Explanation

The bump warning sign alerts drivers to a raised or uneven pavement section that can jolt the vehicle or affect steering. Slowing down protects the suspension and keeps control, especially for motorcycles and trucks.

Question 34Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a yellow diamond sign reading SLIPPERY WHEN WET. What driving adjustment does this warning call for?

  1. Pump the brakes firmly on every curve
  2. Increase following distance and reduce speed in rain Correct answer.
  3. Turn on hazard flashers and maintain the posted limit
  4. Shift into neutral while crossing bridges

Explanation

The slippery-when-wet warning tells drivers that pavement traction drops sharply in rain, so speed should be reduced and following distance increased. Gentle steering and braking help prevent skids on the slick surface.

Question 35Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver on a rural road sees a yellow diamond sign with a black symbol of a tractor. What does this sign indicate?

  1. Slow-moving farm vehicles may be on or crossing the road Correct answer.
  2. Agricultural vehicles are banned from this route
  3. A livestock auction is open to the public
  4. A farm equipment dealership is at the next exit

Explanation

The farm equipment warning sign tells drivers that slow-moving tractors or implements may share or cross the roadway. Drivers should slow down and pass only when it is clearly safe, since these vehicles travel well below highway speeds.

Question 36Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a white rectangular sign with black text reading BRIDGE FREEZES BEFORE ROADWAY. This sign is best classified as which type?

  1. A warning sign alerting to a localized hazard Correct answer.
  2. A recreation sign showing a point of interest
  3. A guide sign giving route information
  4. A regulatory sign imposing a legal requirement

Explanation

Although it is white rather than yellow, this sign warns of a specific hazard: bridges and overpasses lose heat faster and can ice before the rest of the road. Warning signs alert drivers to conditions requiring extra caution.

Question 37Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver approaches a white rectangular sign with black text reading KEEP RIGHT OF MEDIAN. What does this sign require?

  1. Travel to the right side of the raised median Correct answer.
  2. Yield only to vehicles exiting driveways
  3. Travel to the left side of the raised median
  4. Stop before entering the median area

Explanation

This regulatory sign directs traffic to pass on the right side of a raised or painted median, often at an intersection or channelized turn. Following the arrow keeps drivers in the correct lane and prevents wrong-way movements.

Question 38Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a white rectangular sign with black text reading ONE WAY and a right-pointing arrow. What does this sign indicate about the road?

  1. Traffic on that roadway moves only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  2. The road becomes a divided highway after the arrow
  3. Only right turns are permitted at the next intersection
  4. Traffic may travel in either direction on alternating days

Explanation

The ONE WAY sign indicates that all traffic on that roadway or lane flows in the direction of the arrow. Drivers must not enter against the arrow, which would create a head-on conflict.

Question 39Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a white rectangular sign with a red circle and slash over a black left-turn arrow. What does this sign mean?

  1. Left turns are permitted only during green arrows
  2. Left turns must be made from the right lane
  3. A left-turn lane is opening ahead
  4. Left turns are prohibited at this location Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash over a maneuver symbol means that maneuver is prohibited. Here, drivers may not turn left at this location, regardless of the signal indication.

Question 40Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a white rectangular sign reading RIGHT TURN ONLY mounted beside a lane. What does this sign require of drivers in that lane?

  1. They must merge left before the intersection
  2. They must stop and wait for a green arrow
  3. They must turn right at the intersection Correct answer.
  4. They may continue straight if no traffic is present

Explanation

A RIGHT TURN ONLY sign is regulatory: vehicles in that lane are required to turn right at the intersection. Drivers who intend to continue straight must choose a different lane earlier.

Question 41Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

In Georgia, a white rectangular sign with black text reading TRUCKS USE LOW GEAR is placed on a downgrade. What is the purpose of this regulatory sign?

  1. To require trucks to stop for a brake inspection
  2. To help heavy vehicles control speed using engine braking on a steep descent Correct answer.
  3. To limit trucks to the right lane for the next mile
  4. To require trucks to reduce engine wear on long climbs

Explanation

On steep downgrades, heavy vehicles can overheat their service brakes, so the sign directs truck drivers to use a low gear for engine braking. This regulatory instruction helps prevent runaway vehicles and brake fade.

Question 42Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a white rectangular sign reading NO PARKING ANY TIME along a roadway. What does this sign mean?

  1. Parking is allowed only for delivery vehicles
  2. Parking is prohibited at all hours Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed for up to 15 minutes
  4. Parking is banned only during rush hour

Explanation

NO PARKING ANY TIME is a regulatory sign prohibiting parking at all hours, regardless of day or time. Drivers may generally stop briefly to load or unload passengers where it is safe, but may not leave the vehicle parked.

Question 43Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a green guide sign listing three destinations with mileage figures beside each. What is the primary purpose of this sign?

  1. To warn of hazards at each destination
  2. To list the speed limits of each town
  3. To identify work zones along the route
  4. To show distances to upcoming destinations Correct answer.

Explanation

Green guide signs on highways provide navigational information, and mileage figures tell drivers how far away each listed destination is. This helps drivers plan lane changes and exits well in advance.

Question 44Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a blue rectangular sign with a white symbol of a fuel pump and a gas station name. This sign is best classified as which type?

  1. A warning sign for flammable cargo
  2. A recreation sign for a state park
  3. A service guide sign showing available amenities Correct answer.
  4. A regulatory sign requiring a stop for fuel

Explanation

Blue signs provide traveler services such as fuel, food, lodging, and hospitals. They help drivers locate amenities ahead without implying any requirement or hazard.

Question 45Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees an orange rectangular sign reading DETOUR with an arrow pointing right. What should the driver do?

  1. Follow the marked alternate route to the right Correct answer.
  2. Ignore the sign and continue on the closed route
  3. Stop and wait for a pilot car before proceeding
  4. Turn right only if a flagger signals approval

Explanation

Orange signs mark temporary traffic control in work zones, and a DETOUR sign with an arrow directs drivers onto a marked alternate route. Drivers should follow the detour markers until they rejoin the normal route.

Question 46Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees an orange sign reading LANE CLOSED AHEAD with a symbol of a right lane ending. What is the appropriate action?

  1. Move into the closing lane to pass slower traffic
  2. Drive onto the shoulder to bypass the closure
  3. Stop in the current lane until the lane reopens
  4. Merge left early and adjust speed smoothly Correct answer.

Explanation

The lane-closure warning tells drivers which lane will end so they can merge early and smoothly. Early merging reduces sudden lane changes near workers and equipment.

Question 47Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees an orange sign reading END ROAD WORK. What does this sign indicate?

  1. The work zone has ended and normal traffic patterns resume Correct answer.
  2. Work is beginning a short distance ahead
  3. All workers have left for the day but lanes remain closed
  4. A new permanent speed limit takes effect here

Explanation

The END ROAD WORK sign marks the termination of the temporary traffic control zone. Drivers may resume normal speeds and lane use, though they should still watch for equipment leaving the area.

Question 48Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

In a Georgia work zone, a driver sees an orange sign showing a black symbol of a worker with a shovel beside the words ROAD CONSTRUCTION NEXT 2 MILES. How should the driver interpret the distance?

  1. The road will close in two miles
  2. The construction zone extends for the next two miles Correct answer.
  3. A detour begins exactly two miles ahead
  4. Workers are present only at the two-mile marker

Explanation

The distance on an orange work-zone sign tells drivers how far the construction zone extends, not where a single crew stands. Drivers should expect narrowed lanes, equipment, and workers throughout that stretch.

Question 49Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a yellow diamond sign showing a black symbol of a pedestrian with a diagonal slash through it. What does this sign mean?

  1. A pedestrian overpass is closed for repairs
  2. Pedestrians are prohibited from crossing here Correct answer.
  3. A school crossing guard is absent today
  4. Pedestrians are known to cross here frequently

Explanation

A diagonal slash across a symbol indicates prohibition, so this sign tells drivers and pedestrians that crossing is not permitted at that location. Drivers should still stay alert, but they are not expected to yield to a marked crossing there.

Question 50Road Signs (regulatory, warning, guide, and work-zone signs)

A Georgia driver sees a yellow diamond sign reading HILL BLOCKS VIEW. What does this warning tell the driver?

  1. The hill is closed to trucks over a certain weight
  2. A scenic overlook is located at the hilltop
  3. The road climbs steeply for several miles
  4. A hill ahead limits sight distance, so proceed with caution Correct answer.

Explanation

The HILL BLOCKS VIEW warning tells drivers that the crest of a hill hides oncoming traffic, driveways, or intersections beyond it. Drivers should slow down and avoid passing until they can see clearly.
