Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a separate official DC DMV road signs test?
DC DMV publishes a driver knowledge examination that tests traffic laws, road signs, and driving safety rules. DC DMV does not publish a separate official road-signs-only exam, so this page is framed as focused practice for the signs, signals, and pavement-markings portion of the broader knowledge test.
What official DC DMV material should I study for road signs?
Study the DC DMV Automobile Driver Manual, especially the sections on Signals, Signs and Markings, Identifying Signs by Colors and Shapes, Regulatory Signs, and Pavement Markings. The manual also includes pedestrian signals, railroad crossings, bus lanes, bicycle markings, school vehicle lights, and work-zone traffic controls.
How long is the official DC DMV knowledge test?
DC DMV's knowledge-test page lists a 60-minute time limit for Non-Commercial knowledge tests and a 75-minute time limit for GRAD or Learner Permit Knowledge tests. This road signs practice set itself is untimed.

Start with the fast-recognition shapes and colors: octagon means STOP, downward triangle means YIELD, pentagon means school area, round black-on-yellow means railroad advance warning, pennant means no passing, diamond means warning, white rectangles give regulations, and orange signs mark work zones.
Why does this practice set include pavement markings and signals?
