When Jethro Bodine loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly (Hills, that is), he most likely relied on road signs to keep him safe and informed about road rules and situations. When preparing to take your California driver’s knowledge test, you should take some time to learn how to recognize and interpret these signs. Road signs help drivers follow road rules, warn of upcoming road situations, and provide important information requiring immediate attention. You should use a comprehensive resource to help obtain a firm understanding of them.
Our free California DMV Road Signs practice test can help you develop exceptional recognition and interpretation skills. Questions about road signs make up a significant portion of the official knowledge test. If you are unable to demonstrate a thorough understanding of these signs, it will hurt your chances of earning a passing score. Road signs vary by type and purpose, but each is important to public safety and traffic control. For example, regulatory signs (e.g., No Turns) advise you of traffic rules you must follow. Warning signs (e.g., Slippery When Wet) alert you to be cautious about an upcoming road situation. Construction signs (e.g., Road Closed Ahead) guide you around work zones. Guide signs (e.g., Rest Area) provide information about your current location, directions to destinations, and available services.

The Road Signs practice test is the most effective and time-efficient way to teach you everything you need to know for your official knowledge test. The practice test is based on the most recent California DMV driver’s manual (California DMV Driver's Handbook 2025: Interactive Manual w/Audio) and is up to date as of December 2025. It includes 50 multiple-choice questions, each with three possible answers. Don’t be discouraged by wrong answers. If you submit an incorrect answer, a detailed explanation of the correct one is provided, containing the information for making the correction. Compared to a study guide, this approach delivers results that increase your knowledge and improve your driving habits. Study guides are designed to help you memorize the answers to the questions. The feedback you receive from the practice test helps you make a connection between the question and the answer. This instruction is the key to increasing your confidence and acquiring the skills needed for safe travels.
