A vehicle ahead shows a reflective orange triangle with a red border. What does this tell you?
- A It is carrying hazardous materials
- B It moves slower than normal traffic
- C It is an emergency vehicle on a call
- D It is about to stop at a railroad crossing
Show answer
B. It moves slower than normal traffic
The orange triangle bordered in red is the slow-moving vehicle emblem. Farm tractors, animal-drawn vehicles and maintenance vehicles that usually travel 25 mph or less display it, so slow down early when you see it.

What does this white regulatory sign mean?
- A A U-turn lane begins ahead
- B U-turns are not allowed here
- C U-turns are allowed only when yielding
- D The road ahead curves sharply back
Show answer
B. U-turns are not allowed here
A red circle with a red slash over a symbol on a white regulatory sign means that maneuver is prohibited. Here the symbol is a U-turn arrow, so you may not make a U-turn.

You approach an intersection and this sign faces you. What must you do?
- A Slow down and stop only if cross traffic is close
- B Stop only when a pedestrian is waiting at the corner
- C Get ready, because you will need to stop farther ahead
- D Come to a full stop, then go only when the way is clear
Show answer
D. Come to a full stop, then go only when the way is clear
The red octagon is used for one sign only, and it means a full stop is always required. After stopping, yield to cross traffic and pedestrians and go only when it is safe. Because no other sign shares this shape, you can recognize it even when you cannot read the word.
