Road signs get their own section on the Georgia DDS knowledge exam, which is a pretty clear hint that they are not just decorative roadside furniture. Before you can get a Georgia learner’s permit or first driver’s license, you have to pass two separate 20-question tests: one for road rules and one for road signs. This Georgia road signs test is built around that second section, where shapes, symbols, colors, signals, and pavement markers all start doing real work. This GA DDS practice test gives you 20 multiple-choice questions, matching the structure of the official Road Signs Test. On the real exam, you need 15 correct answers out of 20 to pass, so yes, you can miss 5. That sounds roomy until you start mixing up warning signs, regulatory signs, and those oddly specific markers that seem obvious right up until they are not. The point here is to get comfortable with the way Georgia expects you to read the road: quickly, accurately, and without needing to stare at a sign like it owes you an explanation. The official Georgia knowledge exam is based on the Georgia Drivers Manual and covers the larger driving picture, including traffic laws, driver responsibility, safe driving practices, rules of the road, traffic signals, pavement markings, and road signs. But the signs portion is tested separately, so it deserves separate practice. An octagon means stop, a triangle means yield, and rectangular signs usually give rules or guidance, but the test can still get fussy in the small ways tests get fussy. That is where a focused Georgia signs test earns its keep. After you finish this Georgia permit practice test, you will see a summary of your results, including the questions you missed and the correct answers. That review is not there for decoration either. It helps you catch the little mistakes before they become the same little mistakes on the official DDS test. And because the test pulls from a larger question pool, repeat attempts should feel less like memorizing a script and more like actually learning the signs. Whether you are applying for a Class CP learner’s permit at 15, coming in as an adult first-time applicant, or refreshing your knowledge before the Georgia DDS sign test, this practice test gives you a steady, practical way to prepare. Learn the signs, get used to the format, and make the real exam feel a lot less unfamiliar.

Sample Georgia Permit Test Questions

Question 1

You plan to turn left on a steady green light, but approaching traffic is close enough to be a hazard. What must you do?

  1. A Drive to the next intersection instead
  2. B Stop within the pedestrian crosswalk
  3. C Yield until the approaching traffic clears and the turn can be made safely
  4. D Turn immediately because the green light gives you priority

Correct answer: C – Yield until the approaching traffic clears and the turn can be made safely

A steady green light permits movement only when it is safe. Georgia guidance requires a left-turning driver to yield to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction and to pedestrians. Keep the wheels straight while waiting, then complete the turn when traffic and the signal permit it.

Question 2

A yellow diamond sign displaying a black plus symbol warns of:

This sign means:
  1. A A church nearby
  2. B A first-aid station
  3. C A crossroad ahead
  4. D A railroad crossing

Correct answer: C – A crossroad ahead

The plus symbol shows that another road crosses the highway ahead. This is an intersection warning sign, not a guide or service sign. Be alert for cross traffic and any traffic controls at the approaching intersection.

Question 3

On a Georgia limited-access roadway, clear-and-red raised pavement markers face clear toward normal traffic. What does it indicate if their red faces reflect toward you?

  1. A You are approaching a busy intersection
  2. B A STOP sign is ahead
  3. C You are traveling opposite the normal traffic direction
  4. D You are entering a no-passing zone

Correct answer: C – You are traveling opposite the normal traffic direction

GDOT specifies that the clear face of a clear-and-red marker must face normal approaching traffic. Seeing the red face means you are looking at the reverse side of the marker and are oriented against the normal traffic flow. This is a wrong-way indication, not a no-passing message.

Question 4

A traffic signal has lost power. What should you do before entering the intersection?

When a traffic signal light is not working, you should:
  1. A Stop only when another vehicle is present
  2. B Slow down without stopping unless necessary
  3. C Stop, yield as required, and proceed when it is safe
  4. D Continue through at your normal speed

Correct answer: C – Stop, yield as required, and proceed when it is safe

A completely nonfunctioning signal must be treated as an all-way stop. Come to a complete stop and apply the normal right-of-way rules before proceeding. Do not enter without stopping merely because you do not immediately see conflicting traffic.

Question 5

As you approach an intersection, a steady green signal changes to yellow. What should you do?

As you near an intersection, the traffic light changes from green to yellow. Your best action would be to:
  1. A Accelerate to enter before the red light
  2. B Brake sharply regardless of your distance from the intersection
  3. C Plan to stop after entering the intersection
  4. D Slow down and prepare to stop before the intersection

Correct answer: D – Slow down and prepare to stop before the intersection

A steady yellow light warns that the signal is changing from green to red. Slow down and prepare to stop before entering the intersection. Do not accelerate in an attempt to beat the red light.

Question 6

When a traffic signal changes to green, when may you enter the intersection?

  1. A Only after waiting five seconds
  2. B Immediately, even if the intersection is occupied
  3. C After stopping for pedestrians and yielding to vehicles still in the intersection
  4. D Immediately, because green provides an unconditional right-of-way

Correct answer: C – After stopping for pedestrians and yielding to vehicles still in the intersection

A green signal permits you to proceed only when it is safe. The Georgia manual directs drivers to stop for pedestrians and yield to vehicles within the intersection. Wait for the path to clear rather than assuming the green light has removed every conflict.
