Question 1Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

Under Ohio law, what does a steady red octagonal sign require a driver to do at an intersection?

  1. Stop only if a pedestrian is waiting at the corner
  2. Stop only when another vehicle is approaching the intersection
  3. Come to a complete stop before the crosswalk or stop line, then yield to traffic and pedestrians before proceeding Correct answer.
  4. Slow to about 15 mph and continue if no cross traffic is visible

Explanation

A stop sign requires a full stop at the marked stop line, or at the crosswalk or edge of the roadway if no line exists. After stopping, the driver yields the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians already in or approaching the intersection. Rolling slowly past the sign is a violation even if the road appears clear.

Question 2Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

An Ohio driver approaches a red and white triangular sign reading YIELD. What is the correct action?

  1. Come to a full stop in every case before entering the roadway
  2. Stop only if a vehicle is already inside the intersection
  3. Maintain speed because yield signs apply only to turning vehicles
  4. Slow down and be prepared to stop, giving the right-of-way to cross traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

A yield sign does not require a complete stop unless traffic conditions demand it. The driver must slow, check for approaching cross traffic, and stop if necessary to let that traffic pass. Failing to yield when a conflict exists is a violation.

Question 3Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

What does a white rectangular sign with black lettering showing a numeral and the word SPEED LIMIT indicate in Ohio?

  1. The maximum lawful speed under normal conditions Correct answer.
  2. A suggested speed for ideal conditions only
  3. The speed at which enforcement cameras trigger
  4. The minimum speed permitted on the roadway

Explanation

A regulatory speed limit sign sets the maximum lawful speed for that roadway under normal conditions. Drivers must still reduce speed in rain, snow, fog, or heavy traffic when conditions make the posted limit unsafe. The limit is not a target or a suggestion.

Question 4Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

In Ohio, what is the standard posted speed limit on rural interstate freeways unless a different limit is posted?

  1. 70 mph Correct answer.
  2. 65 mph
  3. 55 mph
  4. 75 mph

Explanation

Ohio sets 70 mph as the general maximum on rural interstate freeways where no other limit is posted. Urban interstate segments and other road types carry different limits. Drivers should always watch for posted signs because specific segments can be lowered.

Question 5Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

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

  1. Left turns are permitted for buses only
  2. Left turns are permitted only during green arrow phases
  3. Left turns are allowed after a complete stop
  4. Left turns are prohibited at this location Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash is the universal prohibition symbol. Placed over a turn arrow, it means that turning movement is not allowed. The restriction applies at all times unless a supplemental plaque states specific hours.

Question 6Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

What does a white rectangular sign reading NO RIGHT TURN ON RED indicate?

  1. Right turns are allowed only from the left lane
  2. Right turns on a red signal are prohibited at that intersection Correct answer.
  3. Right turns are allowed after stopping only when no traffic is present
  4. Right turns are prohibited at all times, including on green

Explanation

Ohio generally permits a right turn after a full stop on red unless a sign prohibits it. The NO RIGHT TURN ON RED sign removes that permission at that intersection. Drivers must wait for a green signal before turning right.

Question 7Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign displays a left-turn arrow above the word ONLY. What does this combination require?

  1. Vehicles in that lane must turn left Correct answer.
  2. The lane may be used for through traffic when no turners are present
  3. Left turns are optional from that lane
  4. The lane is reserved for buses making left turns

Explanation

A turn arrow combined with ONLY designates that lane exclusively for the shown movement. A driver who enters the lane must make the indicated turn. Continuing straight from such a lane is a lane-use violation.

Question 8Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

What does a white sign with a red circle and slash over a letter P mean?

  1. Parking is reserved for permit holders
  2. Parking is prohibited at that location Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed for a limited time
  4. Parking is allowed only on weekends

Explanation

The letter P inside a red circle with a slash signals that parking is not permitted. Any time limits or exceptions appear on separate supplemental plaques. Drivers who park there risk a citation or tow.

Question 9Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

In Ohio, when may a driver legally turn right at an intersection displaying a steady red light?

  1. Without stopping if the way is clearly clear
  2. After a complete stop, if no sign prohibits it and the driver yields to traffic and pedestrians Correct answer.
  3. Never, because Ohio prohibits right turns on red
  4. Only when a police officer directs the turn

Explanation

Ohio permits a right turn on red after the driver comes to a full stop, unless a sign prohibits the turn. The driver must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to vehicles approaching on the cross street. Failing to stop first makes the turn illegal.

Question 10Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver on a two-way street wants to turn left into a driveway on the opposite side. In Ohio, where should the vehicle be positioned before the turn?

  1. From the far right lane, swinging wide across traffic
  2. From the lane nearest the center line, yielding to oncoming traffic Correct answer.
  3. From the left shoulder of the roadway
  4. From any lane, as long as the turn signal is on

Explanation

A left turn from a two-way street must be made from the lane closest to the center line. The driver yields to oncoming traffic before crossing. Turning from a right lane or shoulder cuts across other traffic and is unsafe and unlawful.

Question 11Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign shows a bicycle symbol with the word LANE beneath it. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A lane where cyclists must dismount
  2. A lane designated for bicycle use that motor vehicles may not occupy Correct answer.
  3. A lane where bicycles are prohibited
  4. A parking area reserved for bicycles

Explanation

A bike symbol paired with LANE marks a lane set aside for bicycle travel. Motor vehicles generally may not drive in that lane except to cross it when turning or parking where allowed. Drivers should check for cyclists before crossing such a lane.

Question 12Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

What is the meaning of a white diamond symbol painted on an Ohio roadway lane?

  1. The lane is closed ahead for construction
  2. The lane leads only to a parking facility
  3. The lane is reserved for high-occupancy vehicles or other designated users Correct answer.
  4. The lane is reserved for trucks making deliveries

Explanation

A diamond marking identifies a reserved lane, most often a high-occupancy vehicle lane. Signs posted along the lane state the occupancy requirement and operating hours. General traffic entering outside those rules commits a lane-use violation.

Question 13Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver approaches a sign reading DO NOT PASS with a solid yellow line on the driver's side. What restriction applies?

  1. Passing is prohibited only at night
  2. Passing is prohibited in that direction of travel Correct answer.
  3. Passing is allowed only for motorcycles
  4. Passing is permitted if the lead vehicle is moving slowly

Explanation

A solid yellow line on the driver's side marks a no-passing zone for that direction of travel. The DO NOT PASS sign reinforces the same restriction. Passing remains prohibited even if the lead vehicle travels below the speed limit.

Question 14Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

In Ohio, what does a sign reading NO PARKING ANY TIME prohibit?

  1. Standing or leaving a vehicle unattended at the curb at any hour Correct answer.
  2. Parking only on weekdays
  3. Stopping only during posted business hours
  4. Stopping briefly to load passengers

Explanation

NO PARKING ANY TIME bars leaving a vehicle at the curb at all hours. Brief stops to actively load or unload passengers may still be permitted depending on local rules, but unattended parking is prohibited. Drivers should read any supplemental plaques for exceptions.

Question 15Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A green arrow signal points left while the circular signal remains red. What does the green arrow authorize?

  1. A left turn only after yielding to oncoming traffic
  2. A protected left turn while oncoming traffic is stopped Correct answer.
  3. No movement until the circular signal turns green
  4. A left turn only for the first vehicle in line

Explanation

A green arrow gives a protected movement, meaning conflicting traffic faces a red signal. A driver turning left on the arrow need not yield to oncoming traffic. When the arrow ends, the driver must obey the circular signal that remains.

Question 16Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

What does a white sign reading KEEP RIGHT mean when placed at a median or traffic island?

  1. Vehicles must turn right at the next intersection
  2. Vehicles must stop before the island
  3. Vehicles must pass to the right side of the island or divider Correct answer.
  4. Vehicles must merge into the right lane immediately

Explanation

KEEP RIGHT directs traffic to pass on the right side of a median, island, or obstruction. It is a regulatory sign, so ignoring it and passing on the left is a violation. Drivers should adjust position early to follow the required path.

Question 17Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

An Ohio driver sees a sign reading SPEED LIMIT 55 with a plaque beneath reading TRUCKS 50. How should a driver of a passenger car interpret the limit?

  1. The passenger car limit is 50 mph
  2. The passenger car limit is 55 mph while trucks are limited to 50 mph Correct answer.
  3. Both vehicles are limited to 50 mph
  4. The truck limit applies only during daylight hours

Explanation

The main sign sets the limit for general traffic, and the supplemental plaque sets a separate, lower limit for trucks. A passenger car driver follows the 55 mph posting. Truck drivers must observe the 50 mph restriction.

Question 18Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

In Ohio, what is the maximum speed limit on a state route or highway outside a municipal corporation unless otherwise posted?

  1. 65 mph
  2. 45 mph
  3. 55 mph Correct answer.
  4. 60 mph

Explanation

Ohio sets 55 mph as the general maximum on state routes and highways outside municipalities when no other limit is posted. Posted signs can raise or lower that figure for specific segments. Urban streets carry lower default limits.

Question 19Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver wants to make a U-turn on a two-way street in Ohio. Which condition must be met for the turn to be lawful?

  1. The driver must be within 500 feet of an intersection with a green light
  2. The turn must be made only where not prohibited and with enough visibility and clearance to complete it safely Correct answer.
  3. The driver must first stop and sound the horn
  4. U-turns are lawful at any intersection regardless of signs

Explanation

Ohio permits U-turns on two-way streets only where they are not prohibited and can be completed safely. The driver must yield to other traffic and must not create a hazard. Signs or pavement markings can ban the movement at specific locations.

Question 20Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads LEFT LANE MUST TURN LEFT, and a driver in that lane intends to continue straight. What is the lawful course of action?

  1. Stop in the lane and wait for a gap to merge
  2. Proceed straight after signaling the intention
  3. Continue straight because the sign is only advisory
  4. Turn left as the sign requires, or change lanes earlier where permitted Correct answer.

Explanation

The sign makes the left turn mandatory for vehicles in that lane, so a driver bound straight must not remain there. The correct response is to follow the required turn or move to a through lane before reaching the intersection. Signaling does not override a mandatory movement.

Question 21Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver parks at a curb where a sign reads NO PARKING 7 AM TO 9 AM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. The driver arrives at 6:30 AM on a Wednesday. What does the sign permit?

  1. Parking only for commercial vehicles
  2. Parking until 7 AM, after which the vehicle must be moved Correct answer.
  3. Parking all day because the restriction ended earlier
  4. No parking at any time on that day

Explanation

The restriction applies only during the posted window on the listed days. Before 7 AM on a Wednesday, parking is allowed, but the vehicle must be gone once the restriction begins. A driver who remains past 7 AM is parked in violation.

Question 22Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver on a one-way street meets a sign reading WRONG WAY accompanied by a red circle and slash. What does this sign confirm?

  1. The driver has reached a dead end
  2. The driver is entering a roadway against the direction of lawful traffic Correct answer.
  3. The driver may proceed if no vehicles are visible
  4. The driver must turn around only at the next signal

Explanation

The WRONG WAY sign warns that the driver is facing opposing traffic flow, typically after entering a one-way street or freeway ramp incorrectly. The driver should stop and turn around as soon as it is safe. Continuing against traffic risks a head-on collision.

Question 23Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver approaches an intersection where a sign displays a red arrow pointing left. What does the red arrow require?

  1. Proceed with caution because arrows are advisory
  2. Turn left after a complete stop, as with a right turn on red
  3. Stop and remain stopped until a green arrow or other lawful signal appears Correct answer.
  4. Yield and turn left when oncoming traffic clears

Explanation

A red arrow is a regulatory signal that prohibits the indicated movement. The driver must stop and wait for a green arrow or another signal that permits the turn. Unlike a right turn on red, a left turn on a red arrow is not permitted after stopping.

Question 24Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

What does a white sign reading ONE WAY with an arrow pointing right tell a driver approaching from that direction?

  1. Traffic on that roadway moves only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  2. Traffic must turn right at the next corner
  3. The roadway is closed to through traffic
  4. Parking is permitted only on the right side

Explanation

A ONE WAY sign with an arrow indicates that all traffic on that roadway flows in the arrow's direction. Drivers must enter and travel only in that direction. Entering against the arrow is a serious violation that risks a head-on crash.

Question 25Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

In Ohio, a driver approaches a school zone sign with a flashing yellow light during posted hours. What is the required action?

  1. Maintain the normal speed limit because the light is only cautionary
  2. Stop completely until the light stops flashing
  3. Sound the horn and proceed at the normal limit
  4. Reduce speed to the posted school zone limit and watch for children Correct answer.

Explanation

When a school zone signal is flashing during posted hours, the lower school zone speed limit is in effect. Drivers must slow to that limit and stay alert for children near the roadway. The flashing light marks an active enforcement period, not a mere suggestion.

Question 26Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white rectangular sign with black lettering reads SPEED LIMIT 35. What does this sign establish for the roadway where it is posted?

  1. An advisory speed recommended only in rain or snow
  2. The maximum lawful speed under normal conditions Correct answer.
  3. A speed limit that applies only to commercial trucks
  4. A minimum speed that all traffic must maintain

Explanation

A white SPEED LIMIT sign with black numerals is a regulatory sign that sets the maximum lawful speed for that roadway under normal driving conditions. Drivers may travel slower when conditions require it, but exceeding the posted number is a violation. Advisory speeds, by contrast, appear on yellow warning signs.

Question 27Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A red octagonal sign at an intersection requires a driver to come to a complete stop. What must the driver do before proceeding?

  1. Slow to a rolling pace and continue if the way is clear
  2. Stop and wait for a green signal before moving
  3. Stop only when another vehicle is visible nearby
  4. Come to a full stop and yield to traffic and pedestrians with the right of way Correct answer.

Explanation

The red octagon is the stop sign, and it demands a complete cessation of movement at the marked stop line or before entering the crosswalk. After stopping, the driver yields to pedestrians and to cross traffic that has the right of way. A rolling stop does not satisfy the requirement.

Question 28Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver approaches an intersection controlled by a red and white triangular sign reading YIELD. What action does this sign require?

  1. Maintain speed because cross traffic must stop
  2. Slow down and give the right of way to cross traffic Correct answer.
  3. Stop completely for at least three seconds
  4. Sound the horn before entering the intersection

Explanation

The downward-pointing triangle is the yield sign, which 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 make it necessary. Yielding does not mean the driver automatically has priority.

Question 29Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white rectangular sign displays a red circle with a diagonal slash over a left-turn arrow. What does this sign tell a driver?

  1. Left turns are prohibited at this location Correct answer.
  2. Left turns are allowed after a complete stop
  3. Left turns are permitted only during green arrows
  4. A left turn must be made from the center lane

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash is the universal prohibition symbol, so combined with a left-turn arrow it means left turns are not allowed here. The sign is regulatory and enforceable, not advisory. Drivers must use another route or intersection to turn left.

Question 30Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A sign reads SPEED LIMIT 45 with a smaller plaque below reading NIGHT 35. How should a driver interpret these two numbers?

  1. The limit is 45 by day and 35 during the nighttime hours specified by law Correct answer.
  2. The limit is 45 unless weather is clear, when it becomes 35
  3. Both numbers are advisory and unenforceable
  4. The limit is 35 at all times and 45 only during daylight

Explanation

The primary sign sets the general maximum, and the supplemental plaque lowers it for the stated condition, here nighttime driving. The lower number applies during the night hours defined in law, and the higher number applies at other times. Plaques modify the main sign rather than replace it.

Question 31Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign mounted at an intersection reads STOP ALL WAY. What does this sign tell the driver?

  1. Only the driver's approach must stop
  2. Every approach at the intersection is controlled by a stop sign Correct answer.
  3. Traffic on the cross street must yield to the driver
  4. The driver must stop again at the far side of the intersection

Explanation

The ALL WAY plaque indicates that all approaches to the intersection have stop signs, so every driver must stop. Right of way is then resolved by order of arrival, with ties going to the vehicle on the right. The plaque removes any assumption that cross traffic has priority.

Question 32Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign above a lane shows a straight-ahead arrow crossed by a red diagonal slash. What does this mean for drivers in that lane?

  1. Through movement in that lane is prohibited Correct answer.
  2. The lane may be used for passing slower vehicles
  3. The lane is reserved for through traffic only
  4. The lane ends and traffic must merge left

Explanation

A slashed arrow over a lane prohibits that movement from the lane, so continuing straight is not allowed. Drivers in such a lane must turn as the remaining permitted arrow indicates or change lanes lawfully. The sign is regulatory and posted overhead or beside the lane it governs.

Question 33Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads NO PARKING with arrows pointing both left and right beneath the text. What does this sign indicate?

  1. Parking is prohibited in both directions along the curb from the sign Correct answer.
  2. Parking is banned on the opposite side of the street only
  3. Parking is allowed for loading only in both directions
  4. Parking is banned only directly in front of the sign

Explanation

Arrows on a no-parking sign extend the restriction along the curb in the directions shown, so parking is prohibited on both sides of the sign's location. The restriction applies to the curb length indicated, not merely the sign's footprint. Drivers should look for the arrows to know how far the ban reaches.

Question 34Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads NO STANDING. What does this restriction prohibit?

  1. Parking for longer than one hour
  2. Any stopping of the vehicle, including to drop off a passenger
  3. Waiting in the vehicle, whether occupied or not Correct answer.
  4. Backing into the space

Explanation

No standing prohibits a vehicle from remaining in place waiting, even with a driver present, though a brief stop to actively load or unload a passenger may be allowed depending on local rules. It is stricter than a no-parking restriction because it bars waiting itself. Drivers should not idle in a no-standing zone.

Question 35Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver sees a white sign reading NO TURN ON RED at an intersection. What does this sign change about the driver's normal right-turn-on-red privilege?

  1. It removes the right-turn-on-red privilege at that intersection Correct answer.
  2. It requires a left turn on red instead
  3. It permits a right turn on red only after yielding twice
  4. It allows a right turn on red only for buses

Explanation

Ohio generally allows a right turn on red after a full stop and yield, but a NO TURN ON RED sign withdraws that privilege at the posted location. The driver must wait for a green signal before turning. The sign is regulatory and enforceable.

Question 36Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads DO NOT ENTER, and the driver is about to turn onto a roadway posted with it. What does this sign mean?

  1. Entry is prohibited because traffic on that road moves toward the driver Correct answer.
  2. Entry is allowed for local traffic only
  3. Entry is allowed after stopping and yielding
  4. Entry is prohibited only for trucks and buses

Explanation

DO NOT ENTER marks a roadway where traffic flows toward the driver, such as an exit ramp or one-way street, so entering would put the driver against traffic. It is often paired with a red circle and slash or a WRONG WAY sign. The prohibition applies to all vehicles.

Question 37Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign shows a left-turn arrow with the word ONLY beneath it, and the driver is in that lane but wants to go straight. What is the lawful action?

  1. Change lanes immediately within the intersection
  2. Turn left as the lane requires Correct answer.
  3. Stop and wait for a police officer's direction
  4. Proceed straight if no traffic is present

Explanation

A turn-only lane sign requires the driver to make the indicated movement, so the vehicle must turn left. Continuing straight from a turn-only lane is unsafe and a violation. A driver who intended to go straight should have chosen a through lane before reaching the intersection.

Question 38Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT, and a driver in the right lane wishes to continue straight through the intersection. What should the driver do?

  1. Continue straight because through movement is always allowed
  2. Stop in the lane and wait for the next cycle
  3. Turn right as the lane requires Correct answer.
  4. Change lanes within the intersection to continue straight

Explanation

The MUST TURN RIGHT sign assigns the right lane exclusively to right-turning traffic, so a driver in that lane must turn. A driver who needs to go straight should merge into an adjacent through lane before the intersection. Stopping in a turn-only lane obstructs traffic and does not change the requirement.

Question 39Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver approaches a sign reading REDUCED SPEED AHEAD with a posted lower limit. What is the correct response?

  1. Speed up to pass the sign before the limit changes
  2. Begin slowing before the new limit takes effect so the lower speed is reached by the sign Correct answer.
  3. Ignore the sign because it is advisory only
  4. Maintain the current speed until reaching the new sign

Explanation

A reduced speed ahead sign warns that a lower regulatory limit is coming, so drivers should adjust speed before reaching the new limit sign. Being at or below the new limit when passing the sign is the safe and lawful approach. The sign itself is a warning, but the limit it announces is enforceable.

Question 40Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

In Ohio, a driver on a road with a posted speed limit of 55 mph is passing a school zone sign with a flashing yellow light during restricted hours. What speed applies?

  1. The normal 55 mph limit because school is not in session
  2. The normal limit, since flashing yellow means caution only
  3. The posted school zone speed, which is lower than the normal limit Correct answer.
  4. Whatever speed surrounding traffic is traveling

Explanation

When the school zone signal is flashing during restricted hours, the lower posted school speed applies and is enforceable. The flashing light means the reduced limit is in effect, not merely a suggestion. Drivers must slow to the posted school zone speed regardless of surrounding traffic.

Question 41Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads NO U-TURN. What restriction does it impose on the driver?

  1. U-turns are allowed only at intersections
  2. U-turns are allowed only during daylight
  3. U-turns are prohibited at this location Correct answer.
  4. U-turns are allowed for passenger cars only

Explanation

The NO U-TURN sign prohibits making a U-turn at the posted location because sight distance, traffic flow, or geometry makes the maneuver unsafe. The restriction applies to all vehicles at all hours. A driver needing to reverse direction should use a permitted intersection or roadway.

Question 42Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign shows a symbol of a bicycle with the word LANE below it. What does this sign indicate to a motorist?

  1. Motorists may park in the bicycle area
  2. A lane is designated for bicycle use Correct answer.
  3. Bicycles are prohibited on this road
  4. Bicycles must ride on the sidewalk

Explanation

The bicycle-lane sign marks a lane set aside for bicyclists, and motor vehicles should not occupy it except when crossing lawfully. Drivers should check for cyclists before turning across the lane. The sign is regulatory in marking the lane assignment.

Question 43Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads KEEP RIGHT with an arrow pointing to the right, placed at a traffic island. What does the sign require?

  1. Turn right at the next intersection
  2. Pass to the right side of the island Correct answer.
  3. Yield to traffic entering from the right
  4. Stop before the island

Explanation

KEEP RIGHT directs traffic to pass on the right side of the island or obstruction, keeping opposing flows separated. It is a regulatory sign about positioning, not a turn instruction. Drivers should follow the indicated side rather than cutting across the island.

Question 44Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads DO NOT PASS with a solid yellow line on the driver's side. What restriction applies to the driver?

  1. Passing is allowed only for slow-moving farm equipment
  2. Passing is prohibited in the driver's direction of travel Correct answer.
  3. Passing is prohibited only for trucks
  4. Passing is allowed if the oncoming lane is clear

Explanation

A DO NOT PASS sign combined with a solid yellow line on the driver's side prohibits passing in that direction, because sight distance or roadway geometry makes it unsafe. The restriction applies regardless of whether oncoming traffic is momentarily visible. Drivers must wait for a passing zone marked by broken lines.

Question 45Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver parks at a curb where a sign reads NO PARKING 7 AM TO 9 AM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. The driver arrives at 8 AM on Wednesday. What is the status of parking there?

  1. Parking is prohibited during the posted window Correct answer.
  2. Parking is prohibited only on holidays
  3. Parking is permitted for up to 30 minutes
  4. Parking is permitted because the driver will leave before 9 AM

Explanation

The sign prohibits parking during the stated hours on the stated days, and 8 AM Wednesday falls inside that window. The driver's intended departure time does not create an exception. Parking enforcement applies for the full posted period.

Question 46Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign reads ONE WAY with an arrow pointing left. What does this tell a driver approaching from that direction?

  1. The driver must turn left at the next corner
  2. Left turns are prohibited from the cross street
  3. Traffic on the road moves only to the left as indicated Correct answer.
  4. The road ahead is closed to all traffic

Explanation

The ONE WAY sign indicates that all traffic on that roadway travels in the direction of the arrow, so entering against it is prohibited. It describes the flow of the road, not a required turn at a corner. Drivers should align with the indicated direction before entering.

Question 47Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A white sign displays a red arrow pointing left at an intersection. What does the red arrow require of a driver intending to turn left?

  1. Wait until a green arrow or green light permits the left turn Correct answer.
  2. Proceed with caution because red arrows are advisory
  3. Turn left only if no pedestrians are present
  4. Turn left after yielding to oncoming traffic

Explanation

A red arrow is a regulatory signal that prohibits the indicated movement, so the driver must wait until a green arrow or other permissive green indication allows the left turn. Yielding to oncoming traffic does not permit turning against a red arrow. Red arrows carry the same force as a steady red circular signal for that movement.

Question 48Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver sees a white sign reading WRONG WAY accompanied by a red circle and slash. What situation does this sign indicate?

  1. The driver must turn around immediately in the lane
  2. The road ahead has a dead end
  3. The driver is entering a toll road
  4. The driver is about to enter a roadway against the direction of traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

WRONG WAY with the prohibition symbol warns that the driver is facing or entering a roadway against the flow of traffic, often at a one-way street or freeway ramp. The correct response is to stop and back out or turn around safely before proceeding. Continuing forward would create a head-on hazard.

Question 49Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver on a two-way street wants to make a left turn into a driveway on the opposite side. In Ohio, where should the vehicle be positioned before turning?

  1. On the shoulder to the right of the travel lane
  2. In the oncoming lane before beginning the turn
  3. In the lane nearest the center line, yielding to oncoming traffic Correct answer.
  4. In the rightmost lane before crossing all lanes at once

Explanation

A left turn is made from the lane closest to the center line, with the driver yielding to oncoming traffic before crossing. Approaching from the rightmost lane would require cutting across other lanes and is unsafe and generally unlawful. The turn should be completed into the first available lane of the driveway or cross street.

Question 50Regulatory Signs (speed limits, stop/yield, lane use, turn and parking controls)

A driver approaches an intersection with a white sign reading NO RIGHT TURN. What does this sign prohibit, and what should the driver do if a right turn was planned?

  1. It prohibits right turns only during rush hour
  2. It prohibits right turns at all times, so the driver should choose another route Correct answer.
  3. It prohibits right turns only for trucks
  4. It prohibits right turns only when pedestrians are present

Explanation

NO RIGHT TURN is a regulatory sign that bans the right turn at that location at all times, so a driver who planned to turn right must use a different route. The restriction is not tied to time of day, pedestrian presence, or vehicle type. Ignoring it is a violation and may create a conflict with traffic or sight lines the sign was posted to address.
