Question 1Regulatory Signs

In Indiana, a red octagonal sign with the word STOP in white letters requires a driver approaching the intersection to do what?

  1. Come to a complete stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or entering the intersection Correct answer.
  2. Stop only when other vehicles are present
  3. Slow down and proceed if the way looks clear
  4. Yield to traffic on the right before continuing

Explanation

The STOP sign is a regulatory control that requires a full and complete halt, not just a slow roll. The driver must stop at the marked stop line, at the crosswalk, or before entering the intersection when no line exists. A complete stop is required even when no other traffic is visible.

Question 2Regulatory Signs

A driver reaches an intersection where a STOP sign faces them but no stop line or crosswalk is painted. Where must the vehicle stop?

  1. Before entering the intersection, at a point with a clear view of approaching traffic Correct answer.
  2. Wherever the front bumper first crosses the sidewalk
  3. Ten feet back from the corner in all cases
  4. At the curb line of the cross street

Explanation

When no stop line or marked crosswalk is present, Indiana law requires stopping before entering the intersection at a place that gives a clear view of cross traffic. The goal is to position the vehicle so the driver can safely observe and yield. There is no fixed ten-foot setback rule in this situation.

Question 3Regulatory Signs

What does a red-and-white triangular YIELD sign require of an approaching driver?

  1. Maintain speed because the sign applies only to the cross street
  2. Slow down and give the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians before proceeding Correct answer.
  3. Stop only if a vehicle is within 100 feet
  4. A complete stop in every circumstance

Explanation

A YIELD sign directs the driver to slow or stop as needed and let conflicting traffic and pedestrians pass before entering. A full stop is required only when traffic or safety demands it. The sign assigns right-of-way responsibility to the driver facing it.

Question 4Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a four-way intersection where all approaches have STOP signs. Two vehicles arrive at the same time. Who has the right-of-way?

  1. The vehicle traveling fastest
  2. The vehicle that arrived from the larger road
  3. The vehicle on the left
  4. The vehicle on the right Correct answer.

Explanation

At a four-way stop, vehicles that arrive simultaneously yield to the vehicle on the right. Each driver must still come to a complete stop before proceeding. When arrival order is clear, the first vehicle to stop and then proceed goes first.

Question 5Regulatory Signs

A rectangular white sign with black lettering reads SPEED LIMIT 45. What does this sign establish?

  1. A suggested speed for ideal conditions only
  2. The speed required during rain or snow
  3. A minimum speed that must be maintained
  4. The maximum lawful speed under favorable conditions Correct answer.

Explanation

The SPEED LIMIT sign is regulatory and sets the maximum lawful speed in favorable conditions. Drivers must still reduce speed when weather, traffic, or road conditions make the limit unsafe. It is not a target or a minimum.

Question 6Regulatory Signs

A driver is traveling on a road posted at 55 mph when heavy rain reduces visibility and traction. What speed is lawful?

  1. Exactly 55 mph because that is the posted maximum
  2. Any speed below 55 mph, since the limit is only a ceiling
  3. A speed that is reasonable and prudent for the reduced conditions, even if below 55 mph Correct answer.
  4. At least 45 mph to avoid impeding traffic

Explanation

The posted limit is the maximum for favorable conditions, and Indiana's basic speed law requires driving at a speed reasonable for existing hazards. In heavy rain, the safe and lawful speed may be well under the posted number. Driving the posted limit when conditions are poor can still be a violation.

Question 7Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign shows a black arrow curving to the left with the word ONLY beneath it. What does this sign mean?

  1. Traffic in this lane must turn left Correct answer.
  2. Left turns are prohibited at this location
  3. The lane may be used for through traffic or left turns
  4. A left turn is permitted only during certain hours

Explanation

A white regulatory sign combining a directional arrow with ONLY designates a mandatory movement for that lane. Drivers in the lane must make the indicated turn and cannot continue straight. The sign is not a prohibition on turning.

Question 8Regulatory Signs

A white sign displays a black left-turn arrow crossed by a red circle with a diagonal slash. What is the effect of this sign?

  1. Left turns are permitted after a full stop
  2. Left turns are required
  3. Left turns are allowed only for local traffic
  4. Left turns are prohibited Correct answer.

Explanation

The red circle with a diagonal slash is the universal prohibition symbol, so the sign forbids the movement shown in the arrow. Here it means no left turn. Drivers must choose another route or turn.

Question 9Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO U TURN. Under what condition does this restriction apply?

  1. At all times, unless a separate plaque states specific hours Correct answer.
  2. Only during rush hour
  3. Only when a police officer is directing traffic
  4. Only when school is in session

Explanation

A regulatory sign without a supplemental time plaque applies continuously. The NO U TURN sign therefore bars U turns at all times. Any time limit would have to be posted on an additional plaque.

Question 10Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads DO NOT PASS. What does this sign prohibit?

  1. Overtaking and passing another vehicle in the zone where the sign applies Correct answer.
  2. Passing a vehicle that is turning left
  3. Passing a stopped school bus
  4. Passing on the shoulder only

Explanation

The DO NOT PASS sign is a regulatory control that forbids overtaking another vehicle in the posted zone. It typically appears where sight distance or lane configuration makes passing unsafe. Passing a stopped school bus is governed by separate law and signage.

Question 11Regulatory Signs

A yellow pennant-shaped sign with black lettering reading NO PASSING ZONE is placed on the left side of the roadway. What does it indicate?

  1. Passing is prohibited until the zone ends Correct answer.
  2. The roadway ahead becomes one-way
  3. Passing is discouraged but lawful
  4. The left lane is reserved for turning

Explanation

The NO PASSING ZONE pennant marks the start of a segment where overtaking is prohibited. It is the only pennant-shaped sign and is mounted on the left side facing the driver. Passing becomes lawful again only after the zone ends.

Question 12Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a white rectangular sign reading ONE WAY with a black arrow pointing right. What does this sign tell the driver?

  1. The road or lane ahead carries traffic only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  2. The right lane is closed ahead
  3. Traffic on the cross street moves only to the right
  4. A right turn is mandatory at the next intersection

Explanation

The ONE WAY sign informs drivers that traffic on that roadway or lane flows only in the arrow's direction. Entering against the arrow is prohibited and dangerous. The sign describes traffic flow, not a required turn.

Question 13Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads WRONG WAY and is visible to a driver who has just turned onto a ramp. What should the driver do?

  1. Move to the left lane and continue
  2. Continue slowly to the next exit
  3. Flash the headlights and proceed
  4. Stop immediately and back out or turn around when it is safe, because the driver is facing oncoming traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

The WRONG WAY sign warns that the driver is entering a roadway against the flow of traffic. The driver should stop as soon as it is safe and reverse course rather than continue. Continuing risks a head-on collision.

Question 14Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads KEEP RIGHT with an arrow. What does this sign direct the driver to do?

  1. Keep the vehicle to the right of a median, island, or obstruction Correct answer.
  2. Yield to traffic approaching from the right
  3. Turn right at the next intersection
  4. Pass all traffic on the right

Explanation

The KEEP RIGHT sign directs traffic to pass to the right side of a median, traffic island, or other obstruction. It controls the path of travel around the object. It does not order a turn or grant passing privileges.

Question 15Regulatory Signs

A white sign shows a black symbol of a pedestrian with a diagonal red slash through it. What does this sign mean?

  1. Pedestrians must use the crosswalk
  2. Pedestrians have the right-of-way here
  3. A pedestrian crossing is ahead
  4. Pedestrians are prohibited from crossing at this location Correct answer.

Explanation

The red slash converts the pedestrian symbol into a prohibition, meaning pedestrians may not cross at that point. Drivers should still watch for pedestrians who may not comply. A crossing warning would use a yellow diamond without a slash.

Question 16Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign reads NO PARKING ANY TIME. What does this sign establish?

  1. Stopping to load passengers is permitted indefinitely
  2. Parking is prohibited at all hours in the signed area Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed for up to 15 minutes
  4. Parking is banned only overnight

Explanation

The phrase ANY TIME makes the no-parking restriction continuous, with no hour or duration exception. A driver may not leave a vehicle parked in the signed area at any time. Brief stops for loading may be governed by separate rules, but parking is barred.

Question 17Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO PARKING 8 AM TO 5 PM MON THROUGH FRI. When is parking prohibited?

  1. Only on weekends
  2. Only during school hours on any day
  3. On weekdays between 8 AM and 5 PM Correct answer.
  4. Every day around the clock

Explanation

The sign's time and day plaque limits the restriction to the stated window. Parking is barred Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Outside those hours, parking is not restricted by this sign.

Question 18Regulatory Signs

A white sign displays a black wheelchair symbol. What does this sign indicate?

  1. The parking space or facility is reserved for persons with disabilities who display the required permit Correct answer.
  2. Wheeled vehicles must use this lane
  3. The space is reserved for emergency vehicles
  4. A hospital is located ahead

Explanation

The wheelchair symbol marks parking or access reserved for persons with disabilities. Use requires the permit or plate established by law. Parking there without authorization can result in a citation and towing.

Question 19Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a steady red traffic signal at an intersection and wants to turn right. What is the lawful action in Indiana?

  1. Turn right only after the vehicle behind honks
  2. Turn right without stopping if the way is clear
  3. Come to a complete stop, then turn right after yielding to pedestrians and traffic, unless a sign prohibits the turn Correct answer.
  4. Wait for a green arrow before turning right in all cases

Explanation

A steady red light allows a right turn after a complete stop when no sign forbids it. The driver must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to cross traffic before turning. A NO TURN ON RED sign would override this permission.

Question 20Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads LEFT TURN SIGNAL. What does this sign tell a driver?

  1. Left turns may be made on red without stopping
  2. Left turns are prohibited at the intersection
  3. The left lane is closed ahead
  4. A left-turn arrow signal controls the turn, and the driver must wait for it Correct answer.

Explanation

The LEFT TURN SIGNAL sign alerts drivers that a dedicated left-turn arrow governs the movement. The driver must wait for the arrow before turning. It does not forbid the turn or permit turning on red.

Question 21Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads STOP HERE ON RED. What does this sign require?

  1. Stop at the sign's marked point when the signal is red, rather than rolling forward to the light Correct answer.
  2. Stop for emergency vehicles only
  3. Stop and then proceed through the red light
  4. Stop only when a pedestrian is present

Explanation

The sign designates the precise point where a vehicle must stop when facing a red signal. It is often used where the stop line is set back from the light for visibility or turning radius. It does not authorize proceeding through the red.

Question 22Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO TURN ON RED. What effect does this sign have at the intersection?

  1. Left turns on red become lawful
  2. Right turns on red remain permitted
  3. The signal becomes a four-way stop
  4. Turns on a red light are prohibited, overriding the usual right-on-red allowance Correct answer.

Explanation

The NO TURN ON RED sign removes the standard permission to turn right after stopping at a red light. Drivers must wait for a green signal before turning. The sign does not convert the intersection to a stop-controlled crossing.

Question 23Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads ROAD CLOSED. What should a driver expect beyond the sign?

  1. Only trucks are barred from the road
  2. The road is closed only during overnight hours
  3. The road is open but under construction
  4. The roadway is closed to through traffic ahead and a detour or alternate route is required Correct answer.

Explanation

The ROAD CLOSED sign is regulatory and means the roadway ahead is not available to through traffic. Drivers must use an alternate route or follow a posted detour. It does not mean the road is merely under repair while remaining passable.

Question 24Regulatory Signs

A driver passes a white sign reading DO NOT ENTER and realizes the roadway is one-way toward them. What is the safest immediate response?

  1. Continue forward and flash headlights to warn oncoming drivers
  2. Pull to the right edge, stop, and reverse or turn around as soon as it is safe Correct answer.
  3. Move to the center line and proceed cautiously
  4. Speed up to reach the end of the block quickly

Explanation

The DO NOT ENTER sign marks a roadway where travel is prohibited in that direction. The driver should stop and correct the error rather than proceed into oncoming traffic. Continuing forward, even cautiously, risks a head-on crash.

Question 25Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads MINIMUM SPEED 40. What does this sign require?

  1. The road is closed to slow vehicles
  2. Drivers must travel at least 40 mph under normal conditions Correct answer.
  3. Drivers should aim for 40 mph as a target
  4. Drivers may not exceed 40 mph

Explanation

A MINIMUM SPEED sign sets a floor speed for the roadway under normal conditions, typically on freeways. Traveling substantially slower can impede traffic and be a violation. Drivers must still slow when conditions require it.

Question 26Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign with black lettering reads SPEED LIMIT 45. What does this sign establish for the roadway ahead?

  1. The minimum lawful speed is 45 mph at all times
  2. The maximum lawful speed is 45 mph under normal conditions Correct answer.
  3. A suggested advisory speed of 45 mph for curves
  4. A speed limit of 45 mph that applies only to trucks

Explanation

A white rectangular sign with black SPEED LIMIT and a number is a regulatory sign that sets the maximum lawful speed on that roadway. The limit reflects ideal conditions, so drivers must slow below it when weather, traffic, or road surface require. It is not advisory and does not apply to only one vehicle class.

Question 27Regulatory Signs

A white sign shows a black arrow pointing straight ahead with the word ONLY beneath it at an intersection. What does this sign require of a driver in that lane?

  1. The driver may go straight or turn if no traffic is present
  2. The driver must stop and wait for a green arrow signal
  3. The driver must proceed straight through the intersection Correct answer.
  4. The driver must turn before reaching the intersection

Explanation

An arrow combined with ONLY is a lane-use regulatory sign, meaning the lane is reserved for that single movement. A straight-ahead arrow with ONLY obligates the driver to continue straight through the intersection. Turning from that lane would violate the lane assignment.

Question 28Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign with black text reads NO PARKING. What does this sign prohibit along the roadway it faces?

  1. Standing a vehicle with the engine running
  2. Backing a vehicle into the space
  3. Leaving a vehicle unattended at the curb Correct answer.
  4. Stopping briefly to load or unload passengers

Explanation

NO PARKING prohibits leaving a vehicle parked along the curb or edge of the roadway where the sign applies. Many states still allow a driver to stop temporarily to pick up or drop off passengers unless the sign says NO STANDING or NO STOPPING. The restriction is about parking, not about momentary stopping.

Question 29Regulatory Signs

A white sign displays a black symbol of a bicycle with a diagonal red slash through it. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A bicycle lane begins at the sign and continues ahead
  2. Bicycles must yield to motor vehicles at the crossing
  3. Bicycles must use the shoulder rather than the travel lane
  4. Bicycles are prohibited from the roadway or path ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

A black symbol inside a red circle with a diagonal slash is the standard regulatory prohibition format. A bicycle symbol treated this way means bicyclists are not allowed on the roadway or path beyond the sign. The slash marks a prohibition, not a lane designation or a yield rule.

Question 30Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads NO RIGHT TURN. What does this sign prohibit at the intersection?

  1. Turning right during the hours listed on the sign
  2. Turning right after coming to a complete stop
  3. Turning right only when a pedestrian is present
  4. Turning right at any time from that approach Correct answer.

Explanation

A NO RIGHT TURN sign is a regulatory sign that forbids right turns from that approach whenever the sign is in effect. Because no hours or conditions are posted, the prohibition applies at all times. Drivers must choose another route or movement.

Question 31Regulatory Signs

A white rectangular sign with black text reads PEDESTRIANS PROHIBITED. What does this sign mean for the roadway ahead?

  1. Pedestrians are not allowed on the roadway or facility Correct answer.
  2. Pedestrians must walk facing traffic on the shoulder
  3. Pedestrians must yield to vehicles before entering
  4. Pedestrians may cross only at marked crosswalks

Explanation

PEDESTRIANS PROHIBITED is a regulatory sign that bars pedestrians from the roadway or facility it governs, common on freeways and in tunnels. Drivers should not expect pedestrians there, but they still must avoid striking anyone who appears. The sign creates an exclusion rather than a crossing rule.

Question 32Regulatory Signs

A driver on a two-lane road sees a white sign reading KEEP RIGHT OF MEDIAN with a black arrow. What action does the sign direct?

  1. Turn around at the median opening
  2. Stop before the median and wait for a gap
  3. Merge into the left lane before the median
  4. Pass to the right side of the raised median ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

A KEEP RIGHT sign with an arrow is a regulatory sign directing traffic to pass on the right side of a median, island, or obstruction. It tells the driver which side of the physical feature is the legal travel path. The instruction is about positioning, not about merging or stopping.

Question 33Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads TRUCKS USE LOW GEAR. What is the purpose of this regulatory message on a downgrade?

  1. To direct heavy vehicles to reduce speed by engine braking on the grade Correct answer.
  2. To prohibit trucks from using the grade during wet weather
  3. To require trucks to stop and check brakes before descending
  4. To limit trucks to the right lane for the entire route

Explanation

On steep descents, signs telling trucks to use a low gear warn that engine braking is needed to control speed and prevent brake fade. The sign is regulatory guidance for heavy vehicles, not a stop requirement or a lane assignment. Passenger cars should also use lower gears on such grades.

Question 34Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO PARKING 7 AM TO 9 AM TUESDAY FOR STREET CLEANING. A driver parks at 8:30 AM on Tuesday. What is the status of that parking?

  1. Lawful, because street cleaning rarely occurs on schedule
  2. Unlawful, because the posted restriction is in effect Correct answer.
  3. Lawful, because the driver stays with the vehicle
  4. Unlawful only if a sweeper is visible approaching

Explanation

The sign creates a specific time-limited parking prohibition, and 8:30 AM Tuesday falls inside the posted window. Parking during that period violates the restriction whether or not a sweeper is in sight. Drivers must read the days and hours carefully rather than assume the restriction is advisory.

Question 35Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT. What does this sign require of a driver in the left lane?

  1. The driver must yield to oncoming traffic before proceeding
  2. The driver must merge right before the intersection
  3. The driver must turn left from that lane at the intersection Correct answer.
  4. The driver may continue straight if the lane is clear

Explanation

A MUST TURN sign makes the lane assignment mandatory, so a driver in the left lane has to execute the left turn. Continuing straight from that lane would violate the regulatory instruction. Drivers who want to go straight should change lanes before the intersection.

Question 36Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black lettering reads BRIDGE FREEZES BEFORE ROADWAY. How should a driver apply this regulatory warning when temperatures are near freezing?

  1. Maintain speed because the sign applies only to trucks
  2. Stop before the bridge and inspect the deck
  3. Shift into neutral to reduce wheel spin on the bridge
  4. Slow down and expect ice on the bridge surface first Correct answer.

Explanation

Bridge decks lose heat faster than adjacent pavement, so ice can form there while the approach road is still clear. The sign alerts drivers to reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or steering on the span. Treating the warning as applying only to heavy vehicles or ignoring it invites loss of control.

Question 37Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads RIGHT LANE ENDS MERGE LEFT. What does this sign tell a driver traveling in the right lane?

  1. The right lane will terminate and traffic must merge left Correct answer.
  2. The right lane becomes a turn lane at the next intersection
  3. The right lane will widen into a shoulder for parking
  4. The right lane is reserved for exiting traffic only

Explanation

This regulatory sign announces that the right lane terminates ahead, so drivers in it must merge into the continuing lane. The driver should adjust speed and find a gap rather than wait until the lane runs out. It is a lane-drop notice, not a turn-lane or parking designation.

Question 38Regulatory Signs

A white sign displays a black arrow curving right with a red circle and slash over the arrow. A driver intends to turn right at that corner. What is the lawful action?

  1. Turn right after stopping and signaling
  2. Turn right after yielding to cross traffic
  3. Turn right only when the light is green
  4. Continue without turning right at that location Correct answer.

Explanation

A movement arrow inside a red circle with a diagonal slash is a prohibition sign, so the right turn is not permitted at that location. The driver must choose a different route or make the turn elsewhere. Stopping, signaling, or waiting for a particular signal does not make a prohibited turn lawful.

Question 39Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads NO PARKING ANY TIME EXCEPT SUNDAYS. On which day is parking along that curb permitted?

  1. Any day before 6 PM
  2. No day, because the sign is absolute
  3. Sunday only Correct answer.
  4. Saturday and Sunday

Explanation

The phrase EXCEPT SUNDAYS carves out a specific exception to an otherwise continuous parking ban. Parking is therefore allowed only on Sunday, subject to any other posted rules. Reading the exception correctly prevents both unnecessary avoidance and unlawful parking on other days.

Question 40Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION. A driver enters the intersection on a green light but traffic ahead is stopped. What should the driver do?

  1. Sound the horn and proceed through slowly
  2. Enter and use the shoulder to pass the queue
  3. Wait behind the stop line until there is room beyond Correct answer.
  4. Enter and stop in the intersection until traffic moves

Explanation

The sign reinforces the rule that a driver may not enter an intersection without room to clear it, even on a green light. Waiting behind the stop line keeps cross traffic and crosswalks open. Blocking the box is a violation and creates gridlock.

Question 41Regulatory Signs

A white sign shows a black arrow pointing left with the word ONLY, and the lane also has a painted left-turn arrow. A driver in this lane wants to continue straight. What is the correct action?

  1. Stop in the lane and wait for the arrow to change
  2. Continue straight because the painted arrow is advisory
  3. Change lanes before the intersection if it is safe Correct answer.
  4. Turn left and then make a U-turn to return

Explanation

The sign and pavement marking agree that the lane is a mandatory left-turn lane, so a driver who wants to go straight must leave it. The lane change should be made early, with signals and mirror checks, when a safe gap exists. Neither the sign nor the marking is advisory.

Question 42Regulatory Signs

A white sign reads WEIGHT LIMIT 10 TONS. A driver of a loaded truck rated at 12 tons approaches the bridge. What is the proper response?

  1. Take an alternate route that avoids the bridge Correct answer.
  2. Cross slowly to reduce stress on the span
  3. Split the load and make two crossings
  4. Cross only if no other vehicles are on the bridge

Explanation

A posted weight limit is a regulatory maximum, and a vehicle exceeding it may not cross even at reduced speed. The driver must find a route that complies with the limit. Slowing down or crossing alone does not change the vehicle's actual weight.

Question 43Regulatory Signs

A white sign with black text reads NO LEFT TURN 4 PM TO 6 PM MON THROUGH FRI. A driver reaches the intersection at 5:30 PM on Wednesday. What does the sign require?

  1. The driver may turn left because rush hour is ending
  2. The driver must turn left to relieve congestion
  3. The driver must not turn left at that time Correct answer.
  4. The driver may turn left after stopping completely

Explanation

The sign prohibits left turns during a specific weekday window, and 5:30 PM Wednesday falls within it. The restriction exists to keep peak-hour traffic moving, so the driver must use another route or movement. Stopping first does not create an exception.

Question 44Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a white rectangular sign with black text that reads ONE WAY, accompanied by a black arrow pointing to the left. What does this sign tell the driver about the road ahead?

  1. The left lane is reserved for turning vehicles and through traffic must stay right
  2. Traffic on that road moves only in the direction the arrow points, so the driver may travel that way but not against it Correct answer.
  3. The road ahead is closed to through traffic and only local vehicles may enter it
  4. The driver must turn left at the next intersection regardless of lane markings or signals

Explanation

A ONE WAY sign marks a roadway where all traffic is permitted to travel in only one direction, and the arrow shows that direction. A driver may enter and travel with the arrow but must never drive against it, because opposing traffic is not expected. The sign is informational about traffic flow, not a command to turn.

Question 45Warning Signs

A yellow diamond-shaped sign with a black symbol of a car with curved skid marks behind it is posted before a curve. What hazard does this sign warn Indiana drivers about?

  1. Uneven pavement ahead
  2. Slippery when wet Correct answer.
  3. Steep downgrade with a truck ramp
  4. Loose gravel on the shoulder

Explanation

The yellow diamond with a car and wavy skid trails is the slippery-when-wet warning. It alerts drivers that the pavement loses traction in rain, so they should slow down before reaching the curve. The symbol depicts skidding, not gravel, potholes, or a hill.

Question 46Warning Signs

An Indiana warning sign shows a black pedestrian figure inside a yellow diamond. What should a driver expect in this area?

  1. A school crossing only during posted hours
  2. Pedestrians crossing or walking along the road ahead Correct answer.
  3. A hiking trail that crosses the highway
  4. A hospital zone with no pedestrian traffic

Explanation

The pedestrian warning sign indicates people may be crossing or walking near the roadway ahead. Drivers should reduce speed and scan both sides of the road. It is a general pedestrian warning, not limited to school hours or a trail crossing.

Question 47Warning Signs

You see a yellow diamond sign with a black arrow curving to the left. What does this sign tell you?

  1. A left-turn lane begins ahead
  2. The road curves to the left ahead Correct answer.
  3. Traffic must turn left at the next intersection
  4. Left lane ends and merges right

Explanation

A yellow diamond with a single curving arrow is a curve warning. It shows the direction the road bends so drivers can adjust speed before entering the curve. It does not require a turn or announce a lane change.

Question 48Warning Signs

An Indiana warning sign with a black crossbuck-style X and the letters RR means what?

  1. A crossroad with a stop sign is ahead
  2. A railroad crossing is ahead Correct answer.
  3. A four-way intersection is ahead
  4. A divided highway begins ahead

Explanation

The round yellow sign with an X and the letters RR warns of a railroad crossing ahead. Drivers should slow down, look and listen for trains, and be ready to stop. It is not an intersection or divided-highway sign.

Question 49Warning Signs

A yellow diamond sign shows a black tractor symbol. What hazard should an Indiana driver anticipate?

  1. A weigh station for commercial trucks
  2. Slow-moving farm vehicles on or near the road Correct answer.
  3. A construction zone with heavy equipment
  4. A livestock auction with trucks entering

Explanation

The tractor symbol warns that slow-moving farm equipment may be operating on or crossing the road. Drivers should slow down and be prepared to pass safely when clear. It does not mark a construction zone, auction, or weigh station.

Question 50Warning Signs

What does a yellow diamond warning sign with a black deer silhouette indicate to Indiana drivers?

  1. Deer may cross the road in this area Correct answer.
  2. A zoo or animal park is nearby
  3. Hunting is permitted along the road
  4. A wildlife refuge entrance

Explanation

The deer silhouette warns that deer frequently cross the roadway in this area. Drivers should slow down and watch the shoulders, especially at dawn and dusk. The sign marks a crossing hazard, not a refuge, hunting area, or attraction.
