Hazard warning sign pictures — Alaska Permit Test
Hazard warning sign pictures on the Alaska permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
This sign warns of a steep downgrade ahead.
On a long steep hill, brakes used the whole way down can overheat and fade, so trucks shift to a lower gear first.
Steep downgrade ahead
This sign means be alert for deer crossing unexpectedly.
Hitting a large animal can wreck a car and hurt the people inside, and they step out with no warning.
Be alert for deer crossing unexpectedly.
A speed plate posted with a curve sign gives the advisory speed for taking the curve.
The plate shows how fast the curve can be taken safely in good conditions, which may be well below the speed limit.
Take curve to the right at advisory speed.
Five-sided school signs warn of school areas and school crosswalks requiring reduced speed; prepare to stop for pedestrians.
Children near a school may run into the road without looking, so you need to be slow enough to stop.
Five-sided signs warn of school areas and school crosswalks requiring reduced speed.
On the test
What does this sign warn of?
A steep downgrade ahead. On a long steep hill, brakes used the whole way down can overheat and fade, so trucks shift to a lower gear first. Alaska Driver Manual, p.46: “Steep downgrade ahead”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
What it costs
- One payment, once — not a subscription. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel, for an exam you sit one time.
- Free to start: a 10-question test and the first section of cards. No sign-up and no account.
- Paying opens the rest of the cards, unlimited full-length practice tests, and retests built from exactly the questions you got wrong.
- Every level up to Prepared — 3 tests passed in a row.
- Do the work, fail the real exam, and we refund you.
