Free California DMV Road Signs Permit Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for learner’s permit, driver’s license, and senior refresher test.

In California, complex highway systems may overwhelm beginner drivers who lack behind-the-wheel experience. Cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco often see congestion, especially during rush hours. Before you venture out onto the Golden State’s roads, you must arm yourself with patience and recall the knowledge gained during your learning phase. Those who are just getting started with learning driving theory should read the official DMV driver’s manual (California DMV Driver's Handbook 2025: Interactive Manual w/Audio). Use this resource to learn and memorize the most common road signs found in California and their meanings.

Our California DMV Road Signs practice tests can help you pass the official written knowledge exam on your first attempt. The most determined students should practice with this tool on a daily basis. Through repetition, you increase your knowledge and develop a better understanding of the road signs described in the official driver’s manual. Each practice test has been updated for October 2025 and comes with several features. The most notable feature is the immediate feedback provided for each question.

We know how Driver's Ed goes

The material is dry. Studying it is tedious. And you don't want to step foot inside the DMV. So you dread it, avoid it, pretend it doesn't exist. Or you go to the DMV and shoot your shot. You walk in. Take a number. Then the number takes your soul.

Noses sneeze. Babies cry. Frustration groans. And when it's finally time to take your test, you're sweating. Thirty minutes later, you're crying. Because despite your best efforts. You failed. Next thing you know, you're chasing a Waymo in circles to get home (embarrassing!).
That ends here.
At Driving Tests, we know emotions can get in the way of doing what you need to do. So we deliver Driver's Ed that makes it easy to start, and even easier to finish. We get you DMV Smart ASAP. Testing you with real, up-to-date questions. Backing up tricky driving situations with easy-to-grasp visuals & engaging practice tests that reaffirm what you know, and test you again on what you don't. So by the time test day comes - you *own* the DMV. Your only worry? Convincing the proctor you didn't cheat ;)
