Regulatory signs are the traffic-law signs the NJ knowledge test expects you to read instantly. They are usually white rectangles with black legends; the octagonal STOP and triangular YIELD are the shape exceptions.
337 words, about 2 min02Warning Signs
Warning signs alert you to a change ahead; they do not grant right-of-way or set a legal speed limit unless a regulatory sign does. NJ test items emphasize yellow diamonds, fluorescent yellow-green school signs, orange work-zone signs, and the difference between an advisory speed plaque and a posted limit.

Right-of-way rules decide who goes first when paths cross; they are yield duties, not a license to proceed blindly. NJ tests common intersections, four-way stops, left turns, pedestrians, and passing restrictions.

Speed must always be reasonable for conditions, even below the posted limit. The NJ exam pairs the basic speed law with following distance and vulnerable-road-user rules.
