If you’re looking to stay safe and out of trouble on the road, you must learn to recognize and react to road signs. While the teams in Chapel Hill and Durham both wear blue, they are recognized and reacted to differently. This same principle can be applied to road signs. More importantly, failure to demonstrate this ability on your North Carolina road signs test may keep you from getting your driver’s license.

Did you know there is a quick and effective way to learn all you need to know about road signs? Our free North Carolina DMV Road Signs practice test will assist you in integrating your knowledge of road signs with your driving habits. A great way to start your learning is to become familiar with the shape and color of these signs. This knowledge is particularly useful when driving under adverse conditions, such as fog or heavy rain. Road signs serve a variety of purposes: they can alert you to road rules and situations or inform you of directions, distances, and locations of services. As you learn about road signs containing messaging about right-of-way, parking, directions, and service locations, you will become a safer and more responsible driver.

About the North Carolina learner permit

Our Road Signs practice test offers a comprehensive learning strategy that will boost your confidence in passing your official test. The practice test is based on the most recent North Carolina DMV driver’s manual (North Carolina DMV Handbook (NC Driver's Manual) 2025) and is up to date as of December 2025. Once you give this test a try, you will feel any stress about your performance quickly vanishing. The 50 questions included on the practice test are designed to reinforce your current knowledge while teaching you what you don’t already know. Each question has a picture of a road sign and asks you to identify and explain its meaning. If you submit a wrong answer, a detailed explanation of the information needed to make it correct is provided. If you were to use a study guide, this type of instruction would not be provided. Study guides are limited to helping you memorize the answers without giving any further information. Don’t get left in the dark! The practice test is waiting to lead you to a safer and more enjoyable driving experience.
