Mississippi Road Sign Practice Test

How road signs are tested in Mississippi

Road sign questions are part of the Mississippi written knowledge test (30 multiple-choice questions, 24 right to pass). Know the signs well and those questions become easy points.

Signs from the Mississippi Driver's License Manual (Revised December 2024). What every kind of sign means, by shape and color: our road sign guide.

Signs the Mississippi Driver's License Manual adds

• Warning Signs

  Lane Ends signs warn that a lane is ending: when the right lane ends, merge left; when the left lane ends, merge right. p. 30

• Slow-Moving Vehicles

  A reflective orange triangle on the back of a vehicle means it travels under 25 mph, such as farm or construction equipment. p. 34

• Roundabouts

  The Roundabout Ahead sign warns of a roundabout; slow down and follow roundabout rules. p. 57

• Regulatory Signs

  The No U-Turn sign means you may not turn around in the intersection, in the center of the street or in a highway median. p. 28

• Regulatory Signs

  Normally you may turn right on red after a full stop when clear, but a No Turn on Red sign means you must wait for green. p. 28

  A speed limit is the maximum speed in ideal conditions; slow down for hills, curves, bad weather and other hazards. p. 41
