Illinois Road Signs Recognition Test – 15 Questions
#1. What does this sign mean?
Stop sign ahead. When you come to this sign, you should slow down and be ready to stop at the stop sign ahead.
Although the stop sign may not yet be visible, the sign is close enough to require you to start slowing down. Advance warning signs also are used in high-speed areas because of the longer distance needed to slow down or stop.
#2. On what side of the road will a no-passing zone sign be placed?
The sign will appear on the left side of a two-lane, two-way roadway. It is posted at the beginning of a no-passing zone where no-passing pavement markings are also used.
#3. You approach this sign. What should you expect ahead?
Sharp Turn. Road ahead makes a sharp turn in the direction of the arrow (right). Slow down, keep right, and do not pass.
#4. What does this sign mean?
Reduction of lanes (there will be fewer lanes ahead).
These signs are used on multi-lane highways to warn you of a reduction in the number of traffic lanes in the direction you are traveling. Be prepared to change lanes or to allow other vehicles to merge into your lane. Drivers of all vehicles may need to adjust their speed and position to avoid a collision with another vehicle.
#5. What does this sign mean?
The One way sign is used in intersections to indicate streets or roadways upon which traffic is allowed to travel in one direction only. Do not turn against the arrow.
#6. This sign tells you there is an intersection ahead. Which is the best thing to do?
Side Road Ahead. Another road enters the road from the direction shown on the sign.
This type of sign is used in advance of an intersection to indicate the presence of an intersection and the possibility of turning or entering traffic.
#7. What does this sign mean?
Slippery when wet. All roads are slippery and dangerous when wet. This sign warns of conditions that can cause you to lose control of your car. You should slow down because it takes longer to stop on slippery pavement. The road surface of a bridge may be dangerous in winter because it may remain icy after the rest of the roadway is clear.
In wet or cold weather, drive slowly. Do not speed up or brake hard. Make sharp turns at a very slow speed.
#8. This sign means:
Divided highway ahead. The highway ahead is divided into two one-way roadways.
Divided highways have a center strip that separates traffic going in opposite directions. The first sign is posted before a divided highway begins.
#9. What does this sign mean?
This sign tells you that two lanes of traffic going the same direction will soon merge into one lane. Be ready to either change lanes or allow other traffic to merge into your lane. Merge signs appear on expressways just before expressway ramps. The driver on the expressway slows down to let the driver on the ramp merge.
#10. Know signs by their standard colors. Black or white is used for:
Black and white signs are generally regulatory signs and must be obeyed. Other black and white signs are used as route markers.
#11. What does this sign mean?
This sign warns there is a flagger ahead. A driver should use caution when approaching a flagger as the individual will be working close to traffic. A driver should slow down and be prepared to obey the signals of the flagger. A driver must stop if signaled to do so.
#12. A sign with this shape means:
A diamond-shaped sign means warning. It may be yellow, yellow-green or orange with black wording or symbols. This sign warns you about hazards or possible hazards on or near the roadway. Slow down and use caution when you see these signs.
#13. If you see this sign in front of you, it tells you that:
The do not enter sign is posted on one-way streets and other roadways where a driver is not allowed to enter. A driver may see this sign if attempting to enter an expressway ramp in the wrong direction. The sign is an example of a square, red, and white regulatory sign.
#14. This sign tells you that:
This is a regulatory No U-turn sign. It means that you are not allowed to make a U-turn.
#15. You approach this road sign. What must you do ahead?
Pedestrian crossing. This sign tells you that you are near an area where a large number of pedestrians cross the street. Slow down and watch for people crossing the street on foot. Pedestrians in crosswalks must be given the right-of-way at all times.
A separate downward-pointing arrow plaque indicates the actual location of the crosswalk.

Road Sign Identification
For your Illinois knowledge exam, it is essential that you learn all the Illinois road signs described in “Rules of the Road.”
If you haven’t done so already, you should download the latest version from the Illinois website or get a hard copy from one of the service centers.
Reading this manual and taking many practice tests will improve your chances of passing the written exam the first time. But remember, learning the Illinois road signs is just your first step. When you are comfortable with all the signs and their meanings in this test, you should move on to a practice test with the remaining questions.
The test on this page is randomized, meaning it will be slightly different each time you start over by reloading the page.
Aim for a full score on each test.
Illinois Driver’s License Testing
In Illinois, drivers must take a written exam every eight years unless they have no traffic convictions on their driving record.
The written exam is designed to verify your knowledge of standard road rules and traffic laws.
The exam consists of two parts.
The first part asks you to identify traffic signs by shape, color, or symbol (15 questions).
The second part will ask you to identify signals and pavement markings. It will also have multiple-choice and true-or-false questions about traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention, and vehicle equipment.
The Practice Test
The practice supplements reading the handbook (Rules of the Road). They do not replace the handbook. It would be best to start by reading the booklet since it gives you a good idea about what you need to know. The information is never meaningless, it is there for a reason, and questions may be drawn from all parts of it.
When you feel comfortable with the signs part of these practice tests, continue with the remaining 20 questions on the exam: Illinois Road Rules
