Texas Driver's License Knowledge Test

A. Wait for the green light before making a right turn.

In Texas, a right turn on red is generally permitted after stopping and yielding, unless a sign explicitly states 'NO TURN ON RED'. This sign overrides the general rule, requiring the driver to wait for a green light before making the turn.

D. Vehicles traveling below the normal speed of traffic should use the right lane.

The 'SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT' sign is a regulatory sign that instructs drivers of vehicles traveling slower than the general flow of traffic to use the right-hand lane. This promotes smoother traffic flow and reduces congestion.

C. The driver must yield to the oncoming vehicle before completing the turn.

When making a left turn on a steady green light, the driver must yield the right-of-way to all oncoming traffic. The turn can only be completed safely after oncoming vehicles have passed or have stopped.

D. 20 mph

In Texas, when a flashing yellow school zone signal is active during school hours, the speed limit is 20 mph, unless a different speed is clearly posted. Drivers must reduce speed to ensure the safety of children.

D. Guide sign.

Green rectangular signs displaying information about destinations, directions, distances, and route numbers are classified as guide signs. Their purpose is to provide navigational assistance to drivers.

A. Treat the intersection as a four-way stop, yielding to vehicles already in the intersection or approaching from the right.

When a traffic signal is completely out, it is legally treated as a four-way stop. All drivers approaching the intersection must stop and then proceed when it is safe, following the right-of-way rules for a four-way stop.

C. This lane is reserved for specific vehicles, such as HOVs or buses.

A white diamond symbol painted on the pavement indicates a preferential lane, meaning it is reserved for specific types of vehicles, commonly High-Occupancy Vehicles (HOV), buses, or bicycles. Drivers should only use such a lane if their vehicle meets the specified criteria.

B. Lane changes are permitted when safe to do so.

Broken white lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. They indicate that drivers may change lanes when it is safe to do so, unlike solid white lines which discourage or prohibit lane changes.

A. Follow the directions given by the police officer.

When a police officer is present and directing traffic, their instructions always override any traffic signals, signs, or pavement markings. Drivers must obey the officer's commands for safety and efficient traffic flow.

B. Slow down, check for traffic, and proceed without stopping if the way is clear.

A 'YIELD' sign requires a driver to slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary to allow other vehicles or pedestrians to proceed. If the way is clear and no traffic is approaching, a stop is not legally required.

C. The driver on the right, as they typically have the right-of-way when arriving simultaneously.

When two vehicles arrive at a two-way stop intersection at approximately the same time, the driver on the right has the right-of-way. This rule helps prevent collisions by establishing a clear order of precedence.

D. A sharp right turn is ahead, requiring a significant speed reduction.

A diamond-shaped yellow sign with a black symbol is a warning sign. An arrow bending sharply (a 'hairpin' or 'chevron' symbol) indicates a sharp turn in the direction of the arrow, requiring a significant reduction in speed for safe negotiation.

B. No vehicles allowed.

A white sign with a red circle and a diagonal line through it generally indicates 'NO' to whatever image is inside the circle. If the image is a car, it means 'No Vehicles Allowed', often seen restricting certain types of traffic or entry points.

A. A railroad crossing is ahead, and drivers should prepare to stop.

The round yellow sign with a black 'X' and two 'R's is an advance warning sign for a railroad crossing. It alerts drivers to the presence of tracks ahead and advises them to look, listen, and prepare to stop if a train is approaching.

D. 35 MPH, as indicated by the work zone speed limit sign.

Work zone speed limits, indicated by orange signs, are enforceable whether workers are present or not. The 35 MPH sign establishes the new legal speed limit for that section of the roadway. Failure to comply can result in fines and penalties.

D. To emphasize that violations in the work zone will result in higher penalties.

Orange signs denote temporary traffic control for construction or maintenance zones. The 'FINES DOUBLED' sign is a regulatory sign within a work zone, explicitly stating that any traffic violations committed in that area will incur double the standard monetary penalty, serving as a deterrent.

C. Stop at least 15 feet but no more than 50 feet from the nearest rail, and wait until the lights stop flashing.

When flashing red lights are active at a railroad crossing, it indicates an approaching train. Drivers must stop within the specified distance and remain stopped until the lights cease flashing, regardless of whether a train is immediately visible.

A. A guide sign, providing information about an upcoming highway exit.

Green signs are typically guide signs, providing directional information and indicating destinations or services. An 'EXIT' sign with an arrow is a guide sign that informs drivers about an upcoming highway exit and the direction to take.

B. Passing is permitted for oncoming traffic, but not for the driver.

When a solid yellow line is on a driver's side and a broken yellow line is on the opposite side, it means the driver may not pass. However, oncoming traffic, which has the broken yellow line on their side, is permitted to pass when safe.

A. Before entering the intersection, at the nearest edge of the intersecting roadway.

When there is no marked stop line or crosswalk at a 'STOP' sign, drivers must stop before entering the intersection, at the nearest point that allows them to safely see traffic on the intersecting roadway without obstructing it. This is typically at the edge of the roadway.

C. It is a stop line, indicating where the driver must stop before the intersection.

A wide white line painted across a traffic lane, especially when accompanied by a 'STOP' sign, is a stop line. Drivers are legally required to stop completely before this line, not on it or after it, to ensure they do not enter the intersection or crosswalk prematurely.

B. The right lane ends ahead, and traffic must merge left.

This sign, known as a 'Right Lane Ends' or 'Merge Left' sign, warns drivers that the rightmost lane will soon terminate, and traffic in that lane must merge into the adjacent left lane.

B. Reduce speed to the posted school zone limit and be prepared to stop.

Flashing yellow signals in a school zone indicate that the school zone speed limit is in effect. Drivers must reduce their speed to this limit and exercise extra caution for children.

B. A U.S. Interstate Highway.

The white shield symbol containing a number is the distinctive marker for a U.S. Interstate Highway. Guide signs (large green rectangular signs) often display these shields to direct drivers to specific interstates.

A. The driver may not pass, but oncoming traffic may pass if the way is clear.

A solid yellow line on a driver's side of the center line prohibits passing for that driver. A broken yellow line on the opposite side indicates that oncoming traffic is permitted to pass if it is safe to do so.
