Question 1Regulatory Signs

In Illinois, a red octagonal sign with the word STOP means the driver must come to a complete stop at which location?

  1. Only when other vehicles are visibly approaching
  2. At the marked stop line, crosswalk, or before entering the intersecting roadway Correct answer.
  3. Only after the front bumper passes the signpost
  4. Anywhere within the intersection itself

Explanation

A STOP sign requires a full halt at the stop line, then at the crosswalk if there is one, and otherwise before entering the cross street. Stopping inside the intersection or past the sign defeats the purpose of the sign. A stop is required regardless of whether traffic is visible.

Question 2Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaching a red octagon with the word STOP who sees no other traffic should treat the sign as which type of requirement?

  1. A suggestion that applies only during rush hours
  2. An advisory sign that may be ignored at low speeds
  3. A full stop required every time regardless of traffic Correct answer.
  4. A yield-only warning when the road is empty

Explanation

STOP signs are regulatory and impose an unconditional full stop. The absence of cross traffic does not convert the sign into a yield or advisory condition. Illinois law requires the complete stop before proceeding.

Question 3Regulatory Signs

A red triangle sign pointing downward with the word YIELD tells an Illinois driver to take which action?

  1. Stop only if a pedestrian is in the crosswalk
  2. Slow down and give the right-of-way to crossing or approaching traffic Correct answer.
  3. Accelerate to merge ahead of cross traffic
  4. Come to a complete stop and wait five seconds

Explanation

A YIELD sign requires the driver to slow and, if necessary, stop to let cross traffic and pedestrians proceed first. A full stop is required only when traffic conditions demand it. Failing to give right-of-way violates the sign's regulatory purpose.

Question 4Regulatory Signs

In Illinois, a rectangular white sign with black lettering that reads SPEED LIMIT 45 is best classified as which type of sign?

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

Explanation

White rectangular signs with black legends that set rules such as speed limits are regulatory signs. They establish enforceable requirements rather than warning of conditions or directing travelers. Warning signs are typically yellow and diamond-shaped.

Question 5Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver passes a white rectangular sign reading DO NOT PASS. What does this sign prohibit?

  1. Passing a stopped school bus
  2. Passing pedestrians on the shoulder
  3. Passing through an intersection
  4. Passing other vehicles in the marked zone Correct answer.

Explanation

DO NOT PASS is a regulatory sign that forbids overtaking other vehicles where sight distance or lane markings make it unsafe. It does not address pedestrians or intersections. Violating it is a moving violation in Illinois.

Question 6Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign with a black left-pointing arrow and the word ONE WAY indicates what to an Illinois driver?

  1. The roadway ahead is closed to through traffic
  2. The driver must turn left at the next intersection
  3. The lane is reserved for left-turning vehicles
  4. Traffic on that roadway moves only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.

Explanation

ONE WAY signs are regulatory and show the sole permitted direction of travel on a roadway. They help drivers avoid entering a street against traffic. They do not require a turn or close the road.

Question 7Regulatory Signs

In Illinois, a white rectangular sign reading NO PARKING ANY TIME prohibits which action?

  1. Turning around in the roadway
  2. Leaving a vehicle stopped or standing along that stretch of curb Correct answer.
  3. Loading passengers briefly at the curb
  4. Driving past the sign without stopping

Explanation

NO PARKING ANY TIME is a regulatory sign that forbids leaving a vehicle along the designated curb at all hours. It restricts parking rather than travel or turning. Loading or standing rules depend on the specific sign wording.

Question 8Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white rectangular sign reading KEEP RIGHT with an arrow. What does the sign require?

  1. Yield to traffic entering from the right
  2. Merge right only when traffic allows
  3. Turn right at the next intersection
  4. Stay to the right of the median or obstacle Correct answer.

Explanation

KEEP RIGHT is a regulatory sign directing drivers to pass to the right side of a median, island, or obstruction. It is not a turn instruction or a yield requirement. Following it keeps opposing traffic separated.

Question 9Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver encounters a white sign marked with a red circle and a diagonal slash over a left-turn arrow. What does this sign mean?

  1. Left turns are prohibited at this location Correct answer.
  2. Left turns are permitted only for buses
  3. A left turn lane begins ahead
  4. Left turns must be made from the right lane

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash over a symbol is the universal regulatory prohibition format. Applied to a left-turn arrow, it forbids left turns at that location. The symbol inside the circle identifies the prohibited action.

Question 10Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white rectangular sign reading LEFT TURN ONLY. What maneuver is required?

  1. Turn left at the intersection Correct answer.
  2. Turn left only if traffic is clear
  3. Merge left into the adjacent lane
  4. Continue straight through the intersection

Explanation

A mandatory movement sign such as LEFT TURN ONLY requires the driver to execute that movement. It is regulatory, so continuing straight would violate the sign. The turn must be made when it is safe, but it is not optional.

Question 11Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign in Illinois reading NO U-TURN prohibits which maneuver?

  1. Backing into a driveway
  2. Changing lanes to the left
  3. Reversing direction within the roadway to travel the opposite way Correct answer.
  4. Turning left across oncoming traffic

Explanation

A U-turn reverses the vehicle's direction of travel within the roadway. The NO U-TURN sign forbids that maneuver at the posted location. Left turns and lane changes are separate movements not covered by the sign.

Question 12Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO RIGHT TURN ON RED. What does this sign change about normal right-turn-on-red rules?

  1. It allows a right turn on red only after a full stop
  2. It permits right turns on red only for trucks
  3. It forbids turning right while the signal is red at that intersection Correct answer.
  4. It requires a right turn whenever the light is red

Explanation

Illinois generally allows a right turn on red after stopping, but this regulatory sign removes that permission at the specific location. The driver must wait for a green signal. The sign restricts rather than expands turning privileges.

Question 13Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reading PEDESTRIAN CROSSING with a walking symbol is regulatory in nature. What duty does it reinforce for an Illinois driver?

  1. Proceed at the posted speed without slowing
  2. Stop only when a crossing guard is present
  3. Sound the horn before proceeding through the crossing
  4. Yield to pedestrians within the marked crossing Correct answer.

Explanation

Signs marking pedestrian crossings reinforce the driver's duty to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Drivers should slow and be prepared to stop. Horn use and speed maintenance do not satisfy the yielding obligation.

Question 14Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO TRUCKS. Which vehicles does this regulatory sign exclude?

  1. All passenger cars towing trailers
  2. Motorcycles and mopeds
  3. All vehicles over 5,000 pounds regardless of type
  4. Trucks as defined by the posted restriction Correct answer.

Explanation

NO TRUCKS is a regulatory sign excluding trucks from the designated route, typically as defined by the accompanying restriction. Passenger vehicles and motorcycles are not trucks. The sign targets truck traffic specifically.

Question 15Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaching a white sign reading STOP HERE ON RED at an intersection should stop at which point?

  1. Anywhere past the signal head
  2. Only after entering the cross street
  3. At the far side of the intersection
  4. At the marked stop line before the signal Correct answer.

Explanation

STOP HERE ON RED directs drivers to stop at the designated line when the signal is red, keeping the stop position clear of crosswalks and cross traffic. Stopping past the signal or inside the intersection defeats the sign's purpose. The instruction applies specifically during the red phase.

Question 16Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reading NO LEFT TURN appears at an Illinois intersection with a one-way street to the left. What does the sign require?

  1. Turn left only if driving a commercial vehicle
  2. Turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic
  3. Do not turn left into that street from this approach Correct answer.
  4. Turn left only during daylight hours

Explanation

NO LEFT TURN is an unconditional regulatory prohibition at the posted location, even where a left turn might otherwise seem convenient. Time-of-day or vehicle-type exceptions would be stated separately. The driver must choose another route.

Question 17Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT. What does this sign require of a driver in that lane?

  1. Complete a right turn from that lane at the intersection Correct answer.
  2. Merge left before reaching the intersection
  3. Stop and wait for a green arrow
  4. Continue straight if no turn is desired

Explanation

A MUST TURN sign designates a mandatory movement for the marked lane. Drivers in that lane are required to turn right rather than continue straight. Drivers who intend to go straight should have chosen a different lane earlier.

Question 18Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver parks at a curb where a white sign reads NO PARKING 7 AM TO 4 PM. What does this sign mean?

  1. Parking is prohibited during the posted hours only Correct answer.
  2. Parking is permitted during the posted hours only
  3. Parking is allowed only for commercial vehicles
  4. Parking is prohibited at all times

Explanation

A time-limited NO PARKING sign restricts parking only during the hours shown. Outside those hours, parking is generally allowed unless another restriction applies. Reading the posted times correctly prevents unnecessary citations.

Question 19Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading DO NOT ENTER at a roadway entrance. What does the sign indicate about that roadway?

  1. The roadway is a one-way street in the driver's direction
  2. The roadway is under construction
  3. The roadway is reserved for emergency vehicles
  4. Traffic moves toward the driver, so entry is prohibited Correct answer.

Explanation

DO NOT ENTER marks the exit end of a one-way road or an off-limits entrance, warning that traffic approaches head-on. Entering would put the driver against the flow of traffic. The sign is regulatory and enforceable.

Question 20Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading WRONG WAY mounted facing oncoming traffic at a freeway ramp. What situation does this sign address?

  1. The driver is approaching a work zone
  2. The driver is approaching a detour route
  3. The driver is entering a toll plaza
  4. The driver is entering a roadway against the intended direction of travel Correct answer.

Explanation

WRONG WAY signs are placed to alert drivers who have turned into a lane or ramp against the flow of traffic. The correct response is to stop and back out safely or follow directions to re-enter properly. Detours and work zones use different signage.

Question 21Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches an intersection where a white sign reads NO TURN ON RED beneath the signal. How should the driver respond when the light is red and a right turn is desired?

  1. Remain stopped until the signal turns green Correct answer.
  2. Turn right if no police officer is present
  3. Stop and then turn right when clear
  4. Turn right after yielding to pedestrians only

Explanation

NO TURN ON RED removes the usual permission to turn right after stopping. The driver must wait for a green indication before turning. Yielding to pedestrians does not restore the right to turn during red.

Question 22Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO PARKING BUS STOP. What does this sign protect?

  1. The shoulder reserved for emergency stopping
  2. The curb space needed for buses to load and unload passengers Correct answer.
  3. The lane reserved for bicycle travel
  4. The area reserved for delivery trucks

Explanation

A bus stop parking prohibition keeps the curb clear so transit vehicles can safely pick up and drop off riders. Parking there forces buses to stop in the travel lane, endangering passengers. The restriction is regulatory and enforced by citation.

Question 23Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white sign reading LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT at a signalized intersection and intends to continue straight. What is the proper action?

  1. Turn left and then make a U-turn to return
  2. Stop in the lane and wait for a gap to merge
  3. Change to a through lane before reaching the intersection Correct answer.
  4. Remain in the lane and proceed straight when the light turns green

Explanation

A must-turn designation makes the marked movement mandatory for that lane, so a driver who wants to go straight must move to a through lane beforehand. Proceeding straight from a left-turn-only lane is both illegal and hazardous. The maneuver should be planned well before the intersection.

Question 24Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO PEDESTRIANS on a limited-access highway segment. What does this regulatory sign establish?

  1. Pedestrians must use the shoulder
  2. Pedestrians must walk facing traffic
  3. Pedestrians may cross only at marked locations
  4. Pedestrians are prohibited from that roadway Correct answer.

Explanation

NO PEDESTRIANS is a regulatory sign excluding foot traffic from a roadway where pedestrians would be unsafe, such as a freeway. It is not a directional instruction for pedestrians. Violations expose the pedestrian to serious risk and legal penalty.

Question 25Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white sign reading STOP ALL WAY at a four-way intersection. What does this sign tell the driver about the intersection?

  1. Every approach is controlled by a stop sign Correct answer.
  2. Only the driver's approach requires a stop
  3. Cross traffic has the right-of-way without stopping
  4. The intersection is controlled by a flashing yellow signal

Explanation

STOP ALL WAY indicates that all approaches to the intersection carry stop signs, so right-of-way follows the standard first-arrival and yield-to-the-right rules. It is not a one-way stop. Understanding this prevents confusion about who proceeds first.

Question 26Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white rectangular sign reading YIELD. What action does this regulatory sign require?

  1. Slow or stop as needed and give the right-of-way to traffic on the intersecting road Correct answer.
  2. Maintain speed because traffic on the other road must wait for you
  3. Come to a complete stop and remain stopped until the intersection is completely clear
  4. Sound the horn before entering the intersection

Explanation

A YIELD sign requires the driver to slow down and, if necessary, stop to let cross traffic proceed before entering or crossing the roadway. A full stop is not mandatory when the way is clearly safe, but yielding the right-of-way always is.

Question 27Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white rectangular sign reading SPEED LIMIT 45. What does this regulatory sign establish?

  1. A minimum speed that all traffic must maintain
  2. The speed required when passing another vehicle
  3. A recommended speed for ideal conditions only
  4. The maximum lawful speed under favorable conditions Correct answer.

Explanation

A white SPEED LIMIT sign is regulatory and sets the maximum lawful speed for that roadway when conditions are favorable. Driving faster than the posted number is a violation, and lower speeds may still be required by weather or traffic.

Question 28Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white sign reading ROAD CLOSED. What does this regulatory sign tell the driver?

  1. Only trucks are prohibited beyond the sign
  2. The road ahead is open but under construction
  3. The roadway ahead is closed to all traffic at that point Correct answer.
  4. The road is closed only during nighttime hours

Explanation

A ROAD CLOSED sign means the roadway is not open to traffic beyond the sign, so the driver must use another route. Proceeding past it is unlawful and may put the driver in a work zone or an incomplete roadway.

Question 29Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading ONE WAY with a right-pointing arrow. What does this sign indicate about the street?

  1. The right lane ends ahead
  2. The street carries two-way traffic with a passing lane
  3. Traffic on the street moves only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  4. Parking is permitted only on the right side

Explanation

A ONE WAY sign with an arrow shows that all traffic on that roadway travels only in the direction the arrow points. Entering against the arrow would place the driver in opposing traffic.

Question 30Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver encounters a white sign reading NO PARKING ANY TIME. What does this regulatory sign mean?

  1. Parking is prohibited only on weekdays
  2. Parking is prohibited at all hours Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed briefly to load passengers
  4. Parking is allowed if the driver stays in the vehicle

Explanation

NO PARKING ANY TIME prohibits parking at every hour of every day, with no grace period for loading or waiting. A driver may stop only where stopping is separately permitted and only long enough to comply with traffic rules.

Question 31Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white sign reading KEEP RIGHT with an arrow. What does this sign require?

  1. Pass other vehicles on the right side
  2. Keep to the right of the median or obstruction Correct answer.
  3. Turn right at the next intersection
  4. Move to the right lane only when turning

Explanation

A KEEP RIGHT sign directs traffic to pass to the right of a median, island, or other obstruction. It is a regulatory instruction about the path of travel, not a turn or passing command.

Question 32Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign displaying a red circle with a diagonal slash over a left-turn arrow. What does this sign mean?

  1. Left turns are allowed only on green arrows
  2. Left turns are prohibited Correct answer.
  3. Left turns are permitted with caution
  4. A left-turn lane opens ahead

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash means the maneuver pictured is prohibited. Over a left-turn arrow, the sign forbids left turns at that location.

Question 33Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white sign reading LEFT TURN ONLY. What maneuver does this sign require?

  1. Turn left only after stopping completely
  2. Merge left into the adjacent lane
  3. Continue straight while signaling left
  4. Turn left from the designated lane Correct answer.

Explanation

LEFT TURN ONLY is a mandatory movement sign: a driver in that lane must turn left. Continuing straight or merging from that lane would violate the sign's instruction.

Question 34Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO U-TURN. What maneuver does this sign prohibit?

  1. Backing into a parking space
  2. Changing lanes to the left
  3. Turning left into a driveway
  4. Reversing direction within the roadway Correct answer.

Explanation

A U-turn reverses the vehicle's direction of travel within the roadway. A NO U-TURN sign prohibits that maneuver at the location where it is posted.

Question 35Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO RIGHT TURN ON RED. How does this sign change the normal right-turn-on-red rule?

  1. It allows the turn only from the left lane
  2. It forbids turning right while the signal is red Correct answer.
  3. It permits the turn after yielding to pedestrians
  4. It requires a full stop before any right turn on red

Explanation

Illinois generally allows a right turn after stopping at a red light, but a NO RIGHT TURN ON RED sign removes that permission at that intersection. The driver must wait for a green signal before turning right.

Question 36Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading WRONG WAY mounted at a freeway ramp entrance. What situation does this sign address?

  1. The driver must merge left immediately
  2. The driver has entered a lane traveling against the intended direction Correct answer.
  3. The driver is approaching a mandatory exit
  4. The driver is entering a construction zone

Explanation

A WRONG WAY sign faces drivers who are traveling against the flow of a one-way roadway or ramp. Seeing it means the driver has entered incorrectly and should stop and turn around safely.

Question 37Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches an intersection where a white sign reads NO TURN ON RED beneath the signal. How should the driver proceed?

  1. Wait for a green signal before making any turn Correct answer.
  2. Treat the intersection as a four-way stop
  3. Turn only after yielding to cross traffic
  4. Turn after stopping if no traffic is present

Explanation

NO TURN ON RED prohibits turning while the signal is red, regardless of whether traffic is present. The driver must wait for a green indication before turning.

Question 38Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white sign reading LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT at a signalized intersection and wants to continue straight. What should the driver do?

  1. Change to a lane designated for through travel before the intersection Correct answer.
  2. Turn left and then make a U-turn to return
  3. Wait through the signal cycle and then go straight
  4. Stay in the left lane and proceed straight when the light turns green

Explanation

A mandatory turn sign applies to the designated lane, so a driver who intends to go straight must move to a through lane beforehand. Proceeding straight from a must-turn lane is unlawful and can cause a collision.

Question 39Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO PEDESTRIANS on a limited-access highway segment. What does this regulatory sign mean?

  1. Pedestrians must cross at the next overpass
  2. Pedestrians are prohibited from the roadway Correct answer.
  3. Pedestrians may walk only on the shoulder
  4. Pedestrians may use the road during daylight

Explanation

A NO PEDESTRIANS sign bars people on foot from the roadway where high-speed or limited-access traffic makes walking unsafe. The restriction applies regardless of time of day or shoulder availability.

Question 40Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading PEDESTRIAN CROSSING with a walking symbol. What duty does this regulatory sign impose?

  1. Require pedestrians to wait for a signal
  2. Yield to pedestrians in or entering the marked crossing Correct answer.
  3. Prohibit pedestrians from crossing at that location
  4. Sound the horn to warn pedestrians before proceeding

Explanation

A pedestrian crossing sign warns drivers that people may be crossing and requires them to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Illinois law also requires drivers to stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks.

Question 41Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO LEFT TURN at an intersection where a one-way street runs to the left. What does the sign prohibit?

  1. Entering the left-turn lane
  2. Turning right onto the cross street
  3. Turning into the one-way street to the left Correct answer.
  4. Proceeding straight through the intersection

Explanation

NO LEFT TURN prohibits the left-turn maneuver regardless of whether the receiving street is one-way. The driver must choose another route or turn direction permitted at that intersection.

Question 42Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT but intends to continue straight for several blocks. What is the safest lawful action?

  1. Stop in the right lane and wait for the lane to reopen
  2. Merge left into a through lane before reaching the intersection Correct answer.
  3. Remain in the right lane and go straight when the light changes
  4. Drive onto the shoulder to bypass the turn requirement

Explanation

Because the right lane is committed to a mandatory right turn, a driver who wants to continue straight must move to a through lane in advance. Waiting or using the shoulder creates a hazard and does not satisfy the sign.

Question 43Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver is traveling on a rural two-lane highway and passes a white rectangular sign reading DO NOT PASS. What does this regulatory sign require of the driver?

  1. Reduce speed to the posted minimum before continuing
  2. Sound the horn before overtaking a slower vehicle
  3. Refrain from overtaking any vehicle traveling in the same direction Correct answer.
  4. Move into the left lane to give oncoming traffic room

Explanation

A DO NOT PASS sign is a regulatory sign that forbids overtaking vehicles traveling in the same direction, typically because sight distance ahead is limited. It remains in force until a PASS WITH CARE or similar sign ends the restriction.

Question 44Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading PASS WITH CARE placed after a stretch of highway. How does this sign differ from the DO NOT PASS restriction it replaces?

  1. It permits overtaking when the driver judges it safe to do so Correct answer.
  2. It requires a complete stop before any overtaking maneuver
  3. It allows overtaking only by vehicles carrying passengers
  4. It limits overtaking to the right shoulder of the roadway

Explanation

PASS WITH CARE lifts the absolute prohibition and returns discretion to the driver, who may overtake only after confirming clear sight distance and no oncoming traffic. It is a regulatory sign but conditions the permission on the driver's judgment of safety.

Question 45Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white rectangular sign reading KEEP OFF MEDIAN mounted beside a raised concrete median. What does this sign mean for the driver?

  1. The median is reserved for emergency vehicles only
  2. Driving across or parking on the median is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. The median may be crossed only to reach a left-turn lane
  4. The median lane is open to traffic during rush hours

Explanation

KEEP OFF MEDIAN is a regulatory sign prohibiting vehicles from driving over, stopping on, or parking on the raised median. It protects the physical barrier and separates opposing traffic streams.

Question 46Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver on a city street encounters a white sign reading NO STANDING. How does this restriction differ from a NO PARKING restriction?

  1. It applies only to commercial delivery vehicles
  2. It forbids stopping only while the engine is running
  3. It prohibits waiting but still allows brief stops to load or unload passengers Correct answer.
  4. It bans all stopping, including brief passenger pickups

Explanation

NO STANDING forbids a vehicle from remaining stationary to wait, but a brief stop to pick up or drop off a passenger is still allowed. NO PARKING is stricter in that it forbids leaving the vehicle parked, while NO STANDING targets waiting rather than momentary stops.

Question 47Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO TRUCKS with a symbol of a truck. What does this regulatory sign mean?

  1. Trucks must reduce speed on this roadway
  2. Trucks must use the left lane on this roadway
  3. Trucks may proceed only during daylight hours
  4. Trucks are prohibited from using this roadway Correct answer.

Explanation

NO TRUCKS is a regulatory sign that excludes trucks from the roadway or route where it is posted, often because of weight limits, steep grades, or residential character. The prohibition is not a speed or lane requirement.

Question 48Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches a white sign reading RIGHT TURN SIGNAL with a symbol of a signal arrow. What does this regulatory sign require?

  1. Yield to traffic before signaling a right turn
  2. Signal before making a right turn at this location Correct answer.
  3. Activate the hazard flashers before turning right
  4. Come to a full stop before signaling a right turn

Explanation

The sign reminds drivers that a turn signal must be given before turning right, consistent with Illinois law requiring signals before turns. It does not change the right-of-way rules or require a stop.

Question 49Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver sees a white sign reading NO PARKING 7 AM TO 9 AM placed along a curb near a school. What does this regulatory sign establish?

  1. Parking is banned along the curb only during the stated hours Correct answer.
  2. Parking is banned only on school days during the stated hours
  3. Parking is allowed only for school buses during the stated hours
  4. Parking is banned along the curb for the entire day

Explanation

A NO PARKING sign with posted hours restricts parking only during the times shown and permits parking at all other times. The sign does not create an all-day ban or a school-day exception unless one is stated.

Question 50Regulatory Signs

An Illinois driver approaches an intersection where a white sign reading TWO-WAY TRAFFIC AHEAD is posted. How should the driver adjust, given that the cross street carries traffic in both directions?

  1. Treat the intersection as an all-way stop
  2. Expect oncoming vehicles in the lane ahead and yield as required before proceeding Correct answer.
  3. Proceed without checking for traffic from the right
  4. Assume cross traffic comes only from the left

Explanation

TWO-WAY TRAFFIC AHEAD warns that the roadway or cross street carries traffic in both directions, so drivers must watch for oncoming vehicles and yield when required. The sign does not convert the intersection into an all-way stop or change right-of-way rules.
