USVI Driver License Test cheat sheet

Octagonal red STOP sign: come to a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk, then proceed only when clear.

Inverted red-and-white triangle: YIELD means slow down, be ready to stop, and give way to traffic and pedestrians.

Yellow diamond signs warn of hazards, curves, or intersections ahead; reduce speed and scan for the condition.

White rectangular signs usually regulate (speed, lane use); green signs guide; blue signs show services; brown signs show recreation.

Flashing red signal = stop, yield, then proceed; flashing yellow = slow and proceed with caution.

A solid yellow center line beside your lane prohibits passing; a broken yellow line permits passing when safe.

White crosswalk and stop lines mark pedestrian paths and stopping points; stop before the line, never on it.

Railroad crossbuck: yield to trains, look and listen, and never stop on the tracks.

School zone signs and flashing lights require reduced speed and extra scanning for children.

USVI traffic keeps left: your lane is on the left, and oncoming traffic is on your right.

Pass slower vehicles on the right when safe and legal; never pass when a solid line or sign prohibits it.

Roundabouts circulate clockwise; entering drivers yield to vehicles already in the circle.

Stop for pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks and wait until they clear your path.

When an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and siren, pull as far left as safe and stop; clear intersections.

At an all-way stop, first arrival proceeds first; if simultaneous, yield to the vehicle on your right.

Phone use and texting divert eyes and mind; at highway speed, a few seconds covers a long distance.

Yawning, drifting, and heavy eyelids are fatigue signs; stop safely and rest.
