New Mexico driver applicants study signs, signals, and pavement markings from the New Mexico Driver Manual as part of the MVD knowledge test. Official MVD materials require a 70% or better score on Class D and Class M written tests and list a $10.00 instructional permit fee, but they do not publish a separate signs-only exam with its own question count or time limit. This 100-question bank focuses on the Manual's traffic-control-device content: steady and flashing signals, red and green arrows, stop and yield signs, railroad crossbucks, orange work area signs, regulatory signs, guide and service signs, white and yellow pavement markings, reversible lanes, reserved lanes, HOV signs, and shared center turn lanes. FHWA's MUTCD is used as the national traffic-control-device reference behind signs, signals, and markings.

Is there a separate official New Mexico road signs exam?
Official New Mexico MVD sources describe the Class D and Class M written knowledge tests and the driver manual topics, but they do not publish a separate signs-only official exam with its own question count or time limit. This page is focused practice for signs, signals, and pavement markings within New Mexico knowledge-test preparation.
What score is required on the New Mexico MVD written knowledge test?
New Mexico MVD Chapter 11 states that all Class D and Class M written test scores must be 70% or better. This signs practice is designed to strengthen one major content area from the New Mexico Driver Manual before you take the knowledge test.

Use the current New Mexico Driver Manual from the Motor Vehicle Division. The manual's opening traffic-control-device section covers traffic signals, traffic signs, railroad warnings, work area signs, regulatory signs, guide signs, service signs, route-number signs, and pavement markings.
Does this practice bank include traffic signals and pavement markings?
Yes. The New Mexico Driver Manual groups traffic control devices as traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings, so this focused practice includes signal lights, arrows, lane-use signals, crosswalks, stop lines, yellow and white lane markings, and shared center lanes.
