New York Signs & Road Situations Practice Test 2025

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

The New York driver’s license written knowledge test includes four questions that will require you to demonstrate your recognition and understanding of road signs. Your safe travels around and outside the five boroughs will depend on your ability to determine and react to the meanings of various signs. Without a firm grasp of this information, you are putting yourself at risk of failing your knowledge test. In addition, once behind the wheel of a vehicle, you could jeopardize your safety and receive hefty fines for traffic violations.

You’ve certainly seen road signs and may know the meaning of some, but the ones you don’t recognize may be the ones that hurt your chance of passing the New York knowledge test. Our free New York DMV Road Signs practice test lets you leave nothing to chance when it comes to recognizing and reacting to these signs. The purpose of these road signs is to alert you to changing road conditions, potential hazards, and essential services. New York divides its road signs into four categories: Regulation (e.g. yield signs), Warning (e.g. school crossing), Destination (e.g. highway route number), and Service (e.g. gas station).

Our Road Signs practice test will expertly prepare you to breeze through this portion of your official knowledge test. The practice test is based on the most recent New York DMV driver’s manual (New York DMV Handbook (NY Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of October 2025. You will receive invaluable practice identifying road signs and their meanings. The practice test includes 50 multiple-choice questions, each with four possible answers. It is designed to assess your readiness for your official knowledge test. If you get an answer wrong, you will receive a detailed explanation of the correct answer. This type of instruction enables you to thoroughly understand the message the sign is sending. If you choose to use a study guide instead, you will be limited to memorizing the name of the sign. Study guides do not provide the information that needs to be applied to developing your driving skills. Quite simply, the practice test is the premier resource for identifying the road signs that keep you safe.
