Free North Carolina DMV Road Signs Permit Practice Test 2025

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

Did you know that North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Parkway is considered one of the most scenic drives in the United States? Spanning 250 miles through the state’s mountains, this famous route offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. As a responsible driver, however, you must remain aware of your environment and keep your eyes focused on the road ahead, occasionally checking the rearview and side mirrors. To safely admire the view, pull over and park your vehicle in viewpoints and designated stops, often marked by informational road signs in advance.

Whether cruising down the highway or navigating the busy streets of Charlotte and Raleigh, it is crucial that every driver follow the indications provided by road signs. The official DMV driver’s manual (North Carolina DMV Handbook (NC Driver's Manual) 2025) describes the most common road signs in detail. Use this valuable resource to memorize their meanings and extend your knowledge of the various aspects of driving theory. Our North Carolina DMV Road Signs practice tests can help you identify these signs and recognize their meanings through repetition and consistent training. Each North Carolina practice test has been updated for November 2025 to ensure consistency with current state laws and the latest information from the DMV.

For your convenience, we have introduced several features and omitted a timer. Pay attention to the detailed explanation provided after selecting an answer. This feedback can help you learn from your mistakes as soon as they occur. Unlike other practice tests, ours doesn’t keep you in the dark until you reach the end. At any point during an active session, you can restart your progress by using the “Restart test” button. This action will begin a new session with a randomized order of questions.

Consistency is always preferred over intensity. To maximize your chances of passing the official written knowledge test on your first attempt, we recommend studying with this tool on a daily basis for several weeks. However, you shouldn’t study North Carolina’s road signs only to pass the official exam. Driving is a lifelong skill, and you should use this knowledge to become a safe and responsible driver.
