Sample Utah CDL Test Questions - General Knowledge

Question 1

Traffic is moving steadily at 35 mph in a 55 mph zone. Under normal conditions, which speed is generally safest for your lightly loaded vehicle?

  1. A 30 mph
  2. B 35 mph
  3. C 50 mph
  4. D 25 mph

Correct answer: B – 35 mph

In heavy traffic, traveling at the speed of surrounding vehicles is generally safer when that speed is legal and appropriate for conditions. Driving significantly faster requires repeated passing and increases conflict with other vehicles. Maintain a safe following distance and never use traffic flow as a reason to exceed a lawful or safe speed.

Question 2

A sign showing a U-shaped arrow inside a red circle with a slash means:

This sign indicates that ______________.
  1. A No turns are permitted
  2. B U-turns are prohibited
  3. C The roadway is closed ahead
  4. D Traffic travels in one direction

Correct answer: B – U-turns are prohibited

This regulatory sign prohibits making a U-turn at the posted location. In Utah, drivers must obey properly placed traffic-control devices and may not make a turn that violates one. The sign does not prohibit every type of turn or indicate that the entire roadway is closed.

Question 3

A yellow diamond-shaped sign displaying a continuous series of bends warns of:

This sign warns drivers to ____________.
  1. A A winding road ahead
  2. B A highway work zone
  3. C One reverse curve only
  4. D Two sharp turns only

Correct answer: A – A winding road ahead

A winding-road sign warns that the roadway contains a series of curves. It differs from signs showing a single curve, turn, or reverse curve. Reduce speed as needed before entering the winding section and maintain a speed that allows the vehicle to remain controlled and within its lane.

Question 4

What should you do before driving if you are drowsy?

  1. A Eat a large meal
  2. B Sleep before beginning the trip
  3. C Rely on coffee to remain alert
  4. D Exercise briefly and begin driving

Correct answer: B – Sleep before beginning the trip

The Utah CDL handbook instructs a drowsy driver to sleep before driving. Coffee and similar short-term measures do not replace adequate rest. If signs of fatigue develop after the trip begins, stop driving and sleep for the night or take a short nap before continuing.

Question 5

In a parking area, a sign displaying the International Symbol of Accessibility marks:

This sign indicates ___________.
  1. A Parking reserved for a properly marked vehicle transporting a qualifying person with a disability
  2. B An area where all parking is prohibited
  3. C Parking available to any vehicle
  4. D A short-term loading space

Correct answer: A – Parking reserved for a properly marked vehicle transporting a qualifying person with a disability

In Utah, vertical signage displaying the International Symbol of Accessibility identifies an accessible parking space. A vehicle may use the space only when it displays the required disability plate or placard and is transporting a qualifying person. The symbol does not indicate unrestricted or merely time-limited parking.

Source: Utah Code § 41-1a-414(1)(a), (3)(a) – Parking privileges for persons with disabilities.

Question 6

A yellow diamond-shaped sign showing a black cross warns of:

This sign indicates _________________.
  1. A A pedestrian crossing ahead
  2. B A railroad crossing ahead
  3. C A rest area ahead
  4. D A crossroad intersection ahead

Correct answer: D – A crossroad intersection ahead

The Cross Road warning sign is placed in advance of an intersection. It alerts drivers to the possibility of vehicles turning or entering from the intersecting roadway. It is not a railroad, pedestrian-crossing, or service-area sign.
