Nevada Road Sign Practice Test

How road signs are tested in Nevada

Road sign questions are part of the Nevada written knowledge test (25 multiple-choice questions, 20 right to pass). Know the signs well and those questions become easy points.

Signs from the Nevada Driver Handbook (DMV 700 (March 2024)). What every kind of sign means, by shape and color: our road sign guide.

Signs the Nevada Driver Handbook adds

• Signs

  At a yield sign, slow down, give way to pedestrians, through traffic and vehicles already on the road, check all directions for cross traffic, and yield to vehicles making a U-turn at the intersection. p. 29

• Signals

  A green light means you may go straight, turn right or turn left, unless a sign forbids that turn. p. 30

• Controlling Speed

  A speed limit is the maximum speed in ideal conditions; slow down for hills, curves, bad weather and other hazards. p. 35

• High-Occupancy Vehicle Lanes

  Nevada HOV lanes, meant to encourage ridesharing and ease congestion, require two or more people per vehicle; their hours vary by segment (see the regulatory signs), motorcycles are eligible, and emergency vehicles responding to an emergency may use them. p. 39

• Signs

  Construction and maintenance signs, mostly diamond-shaped, warn of danger near work areas; cones, drums and barricades (lit at night) guide you through. Slow down and obey the signs and any flaggers; traffic fines are higher for violations in work zones. p. 30

• Signs

  Blue signs mean: motorist services. p. 28

• Signs

  Brown signs mean: recreation and cultural places. p. 28

• Signs

  Route signs and markers are usually shield-shaped, though shapes and colors vary, and show U.S., Interstate and state route numbers. p. 29

• International Symbol of Access

  Spaces marked with the International Symbol of Access may be used only when the person issued the disabled placard or plate is driving or riding in the vehicle; anyone else who parks there faces a minimum fine of 250 dollars. p. 50

• Signs

  A round sign warns that a railroad crossing is ahead, while the crossbuck (X-shaped) sign marks the crossing itself. p. 28

• Railroad Crossings

  At a crossing with more than one set of tracks, a stopped driver must wait until the view is clear in both directions before starting across. p. 33

• School Areas

  A school crossing sign means slow down and watch for children crossing the road. p. 33

• Signs

  A pennant-shaped sign (a sideways triangle) marks a no-passing zone. p. 28

• Signs

  An eight-sided (octagon) sign always means stop. p. 28

• Signs

  A downward-pointing triangle sign means yield. p. 28
