Virginia Driver's Manual signs, signals, and markings section

Virginia DMV

Virginia's DMV knowledge exam has a mandatory road signs section: part one has 10 road sign questions and requires a perfect 10 out of 10. This 100-question bank is targeted practice for that signs section and the related signs, signals, and pavement markings content in Section 2 of the Virginia Driver's Manual. It is not a separate Virginia DMV credential; it isolates the road-signs portion because missing one sign question fails part one.

A.8 out of 10
B.9 out of 10
C.All 10 correct
D.24 out of 30

3A red octagon on the road always means:
A.Yield
B.Stop

A.Stop at every intersection
B.Yield the right-of-way and be ready to stop
C.Drive only in the direction of the arrow
D.Enter a no-passing zone
Explanation: The downward-pointing red and white triangle is the YIELD sign. It means slow down, give the right-of-way to traffic or pedestrians who have it, and stop if necessary.
5What does a yellow diamond-shaped sign usually communicate?
A.A traffic law that must always be obeyed
B.A general warning about a condition ahead
C.A nearby hospital or service
D.A historical or cultural site
Explanation: Yellow signs with black symbols or words are warning signs. They alert you to curves, intersections, crossings, roadway changes, or other conditions so you can slow and prepare.
6A white rectangular sign with black lettering is most likely:
A.A recreational guide sign
B.A regulatory sign telling drivers a traffic rule
C.A temporary incident sign
D.A railroad crossing warning
Explanation: Black on white commonly communicates regulatory information such as speed limits, turn restrictions, and lane-use rules. These signs tell drivers what the law or rule requires.

A.Destination, direction, or distance information
B.Warnings about curves and hazards
C.No-turn rules

A.Cultural, historical, or recreational points of interest
B.A lane that is closed
C.A traffic signal ahead
D.A stop requirement
Explanation: Brown and white signs are informational signs for historical, cultural, recreational, and scenic destinations. They are guide signs, not regulatory or warning signs.

A.Construction or maintenance areas
B.Historical sites
C.Hospital services
D.Permanent speed limits only
Explanation: Orange and black signs warn about construction and work-zone conditions. Drivers should slow down, be alert for workers and equipment, and obey any temporary instructions.

Virginia Road Signs Practice Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master sign shapes and colors first: red octagon for stop, red and white triangle for yield, yellow diamond for warnings, pennant for no passing, round yellow for railroad advance warning, orange for work zones, blue for services, green for guide information, brown for cultural or recreational destinations, and fluorescent yellow-green for school, pedestrian, and bicycle warnings.
2Drill Virginia's perfect-score rule: the DMV road signs section has 10 questions and all 10 must be correct, so treat any missed sign as a topic to review immediately.
3Practice the driver action, not just the sign name: stop, yield, slow, merge, keep right, leave a lane, watch for pedestrians, avoid a prohibited turn, or prepare for a crossing.
4Study Section 2 of the Virginia Driver's Manual together: signs, traffic lights, lane-use signals, pedestrian hybrid beacons, pavement markings, railroad crossings, work zones, bicycle markings, and HOV markings are connected in real driving.
5Pay extra attention to Virginia-specific details such as out-of-service signals as all-way stops, right turns prohibited on red arrows, left-on-red only from one-way to one-way, the 150-foot limit in center turn lanes, work-zone fines, and bike-box right-turn-on-red restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Virginia have a separate official road signs exam?

Virginia DMV describes the knowledge exam as a two-part exam, not as a separate credential. Part one is a mandatory 10-question road signs section, and all 10 road sign questions must be answered correctly before the applicant can continue to part two.

How many road sign questions are on the Virginia DMV knowledge exam?

The official Virginia DMV knowledge exam has 10 road sign questions in part one. Part two has 30 general knowledge questions, but applicants reach part two only after passing the signs section.

What score do I need on the Virginia road signs section?

You must answer all 10 road sign questions correctly. A 9 out of 10 is not enough on part one, even though the later general knowledge section uses an 80 percent standard.

What official source should I study for Virginia road signs?

Study Section 2 of the Virginia Driver's Manual, titled Signals, Signs and Pavement Markings. It covers traffic signals, lane-use signals, sign colors, sign shapes, regulatory signs, warning signs, work zones, pavement markings, railroad crossings, bicycle markings, HOV markings, bus-only lanes, toll plaza signs, and painted curbs.

Are traffic signals and pavement markings part of this road signs practice?

Yes. The Virginia manual groups signals, signs, and pavement markings together in Section 2, and DMV states the knowledge exam tests traffic signs, motor vehicle laws, and safe driving techniques. This bank focuses on the signs section plus closely related signals and markings that drivers must recognize.

Why does this practice bank use FHWA MUTCD sources?

The FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices is the national standard for traffic signs, signals, and roadway markings. Virginia's manual teaches the driver-facing meanings, while the MUTCD provides the national traffic-control context for signs, markings, and signals.
