Missouri treats road signs as more than a few easy points tucked into the regular written exam. The Class F written knowledge test is 25 multiple-choice questions, with 20 correct answers needed to pass, and it covers the expected mix: traffic laws, safe driving, markings, signals, sharing the road, impaired driving, distracted driving rules, and the material pulled from the Missouri Driver Guide. Then, separately, there is the road sign test. That distinction matters, because plenty of applicants study the written test and assume signs will just sort of take care of themselves. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they absolutely do not. This Missouri DMV permit practice test is designed for that road sign work specifically, with a 20-question format that asks for 16 correct answers to pass. That keeps the rhythm close to Missouri’s 80% passing standard without pretending to be the exact official exam. The point is repetition with enough variation to make it useful. Each session gives you a new mix of questions, so you are not just memorizing where the “yield sign” answer happened to sit last time. You are actually practicing sign shapes, colors, regulatory signs, warning signs, guide signs, signals, and the small visual clues that Missouri expects drivers to know before they are out there making real decisions in traffic. It is useful for first-time Class F applicants, teens starting the Graduated Driver License process at 15, adults applying for a Missouri license, and drivers renewing or refreshing their knowledge. It also makes sense for new Missouri residents, since a valid out-of-state license may waive the written and skills tests in many cases, but Missouri can still require vision and road sign recognition. Small detail, big inconvenience if you did not know it was coming. Use this practice test alongside the Missouri Driver Guide, not instead of it. Testing is handled through the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and after passing the required tests, applicants take the Driver Examination Record to a Missouri license office for the actual permit or license. The practice test will not replace that process, of course, but it can make the road sign portion feel familiar, steady, and far less like a last-minute scramble.

Sample Missouri Permit Test Questions

Question 1

A white KEEP RIGHT sign beside an island or obstruction directs you to:

This white sign means:
  1. A. Pass only on the right side of the feature or obstruction
  2. B. Yield to all vehicles turning right
  3. C. Move slower traffic into the right lane
  4. D. Turn right at the next intersection

Correct answer: A. – Pass only on the right side of the feature or obstruction

A Keep Right sign is used where traffic must pass only to the right side of a roadway feature or obstruction. It does not necessarily require a right turn at the next intersection or serve as a general instruction for slower traffic.

Question 2

You have a circular green light and intend to turn left, but oncoming traffic is heavy. What must be true before you complete the turn?

  1. A. You must use the next intersection instead
  2. B. You must stop on the crosswalk
  3. C. There must be an adequate gap after you yield to oncoming traffic
  4. D. Oncoming traffic must yield because your light is green

Correct answer: C. – There must be an adequate gap after you yield to oncoming traffic

Missouri law requires a driver turning left within an intersection to yield to oncoming vehicles that are in the intersection or close enough to be an immediate hazard. The Driver Guide describes a turn on a circular green as permissive and requires the driver to wait for an adequate gap in opposing traffic. A green light alone does not give the left-turning driver priority.

Question 3

A law enforcement officer directs you through an intersection even though the signal is red. What should you do?

A traffic light is red, but a police officer is telling you to go ahead anyway. What should you do?
  1. A. Remain stopped until the light turns green
  2. B. Change lanes before proceeding slowly
  3. C. Follow the officer’s direction
  4. D. Wait for the officer to approach your vehicle

Correct answer: C. – Follow the officer’s direction

Missouri law requires drivers to obey a reasonable signal or direction given by a law enforcement officer who is directing traffic. The state driver guide instructs drivers to follow an officer’s directions when they conflict with a traffic sign or signal. In this situation, proceed as the officer directs.

Question 4

A yellow warning sign displays a large black arrow pointing sharply to the right. What does it indicate?

When you see this black and yellow sign, it means:
  1. A. The road on the right carries one-way traffic
  2. B. Construction traffic must follow a right-hand detour
  3. C. Slow down for a sharp change in the road’s direction
  4. D. A side road enters from the right

Correct answer: C. – Slow down for a sharp change in the road’s direction

A large arrow sign may be placed on the outside of a turn to emphasize a sharp change in the direction of travel. Reduce speed before reaching the turn and follow the roadway. It is a warning sign, not a one-way or detour sign.

Question 5

When may you cross into the left half of a two-way roadway to pass another vehicle?

On a two-way highway, you are allowed to drive on the left half of the roadway when:
  1. A. Whenever the center is marked by double solid yellow lines
  2. B. When a solid yellow line is on your side of the centerline
  3. C. When passing is permitted and the left side is clear for a sufficient distance
  4. D. When approaching a curve that blocks your view

Correct answer: C. – When passing is permitted and the left side is clear for a sufficient distance

Missouri generally requires vehicles to remain on the right half of the roadway but permits crossing the centerline for a lawful pass. The left side must be visible and free of oncoming traffic far enough ahead to complete the maneuver safely. Do not pass where a solid yellow line is on your side or where a hill or curve obstructs your view.

Question 6

How should you treat an intersection when its traffic signals are dark and not operating?

When a traffic signal light is not working, you should:
  1. A. Stop only when another vehicle is present
  2. B. Slow down but continue without stopping
  3. C. Treat the intersection as a four-way stop
  4. D. Proceed as though you have a green light

Correct answer: C. – Treat the intersection as a four-way stop

The Missouri Driver Guide states that dark or nonworking traffic signals operate as a four-way stop. Come to a complete stop and apply the normal right-of-way rules for an all-way stop. Proceed only when it is your turn and the intersection is clear.
