Drivers depend on road signs for vitally important information that makes travel safe. You’re likely familiar with most of them. After all, you’ve seen them as you’ve traveled the roads in and around the Windy City your entire life. You can expect to be asked numerous questions about road signs on your Illinois driver’s license written knowledge test. Therefore, it would be wise for you to study them carefully, learning how to recognize and react to each one. Failure to thoroughly learn about road signs places you at risk of failing your knowledge test.
Road signs demand your immediate attention because they are intended to make you aware of existing road rules and situations. Our free Illinois DMV Road Signs practice test will help you improve your recognition and interpretation skills. Failure to heed the messages of these signs places you in potentially dangerous and costly situations. Road sign shapes and colors are designed to provide clues about their meaning and provide a foundation for learning them. Their meanings may be regulatory (e.g., Wrong Way), meant to keep you in compliance with traffic laws, warning (e.g., Slippery When Wet), advising you of a road situation, or guidance (e.g., Rest Area).

Our Road Signs practice test is a dependable resource for helping you understand the signs’ attributes and messaging. The practice test is based on the most recent Illinois DMV driver’s manual (Illinois DMV Handbook (IL Driver's Manual) 2026) and is up to date as of February 2026. It is interactive and provides valuable feedback to advance your learning. The practice test includes 50 multiple-choice questions with pictures of various road signs to assess your ability to identify and understand them. If you miss a question, a detailed explanation of the correct answer is provided. This information is valuable because it increases your knowledge and boosts your confidence. If you were to use a study guide, you would merely be memorizing the answers to the questions without understanding the reasoning behind them. This method would be equivalent to solving a mathematical equation without showing how you arrived at your conclusion. If you are not prepared to answer difficult questions, you will be relying on guesswork. The practice test is your way to expert instruction.
