Traffic Signs Quiz: Do You Know What Those Traffic Signs Really Mean?

That's a lot of questions! I got 93.33% total... guess I'm not too much of a menace on the roads. Besides... who cares if it's a deer or an elk? If it jumps out onto the road, I'm going to try to avoid it no matter what!

I scored a 93%. Missed the Advanced School Zone and the 50 Speed Limit sign... conditions conditions...

Wouldn't let me see what I missed, but I got a 90%. I'm kinda pissed about it, actually.

I renewed my license and here in Virginia the renewing applicant cannot answer incorrectly on the sign test. Just one wrong answer and the applicant has to wait 24 hours and take the test again.

It was the "winding road" vs "slippery when wet" that got me. Only two trips to DMV to get something accomplished, I think I got off lightly!

Wahey, 73% which I'm glad about considering I don't drive, and never have :)

Edit: After completing the quiz, I've found out a way to cheat! Tut tut, naughty. In Firefox, Right click the road sign image. choose open in new tab, then look at the filename for quite an obvious clue to the answer... ;)

Score -- 100% As a former professional driver, I am not terribly shocked.

97% and I'm a UK driver who's never been to the US!

Considering I'm Canadian(in regards to the route signs), I think I did pretty good. 100% on part one and 1 wrong on part 2. It all seems to be basic common sense. Lets see how I do on the other parts.

I did the whole 5 sections, and got answers ranging from 83% to 96%. Pretty good - specially considering I am both a non-driver and English!

A lot were common sense, though. It was the State/Interstate/County stuff got me, everytime.

I got 97%

Signs must be the same almost everywhere.

^--C'mon Jesus, you should've gotten 100%!--^

Dang. 150 signs. I started to glaze over at one point...95.2% overall 143/150 (kept getting my school vs. pedestrian crossings mixed up).

I found it interesting in light of this article from the Atlantic magazine about how too much reliance on signs causes inattentional blindness in drivers. Yikes!

Very interesting...I scored 98.8 all together (missed 2 questions total). The first speed limit question got me because in Texas you are not required to drive slower during inclement weather. The TX driver's handbook states that speed must be adjusted so accidents are avoided, but it is implied that if you can drive the posted limit and avoid an accident you are driving legally. Also down here instead of "Hazardous Material" signs we have "HC" aka "Hazardous Cargo". That one had me confuzzled but I still got it right.

The other one I got wrong was the "forward traffic can go on either side of the obstruction" with two arrows pointing at a right and left angle but no image of an obstruction. I've never seen a sign like that before...the ones I've seen have a black "obstruction" between the arrows.

Much like Courageous Grace, I too got the "forward traffic can go on either side of the obstruction” sign wrong, as I've seen it with an actual obstruction depicted.

Another Canadian taking an American test and getting 94% overall. I had to puzzle over the US/State/Interstate/County route signs. but overall, it's mainly common sense.

If you really want to trip people up, post a quiz on European road signs, those would be interesting results indeed!

I got 87% on part one (only part I did). And I don't even drive! Never drove, never looked at a driver hand book. Plus, I'm not in America either. Funny.
