Regulatory sign pictures — Alaska Permit Test
Regulatory sign pictures on the Alaska permit test — 5 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
Do not proceed beyond a DO NOT ENTER sign, which faces traffic entering a roadway or ramp in the wrong direction.
Past this sign traffic comes straight at you, and a head-on crash is among the deadliest kind.
Do not proceed beyond this sign which faces traffic entering a roadway or ramp in the wrong direction.
A speed limit sign means do not exceed the posted speed.
The limit is set for that stretch of road and its traffic, and going over it shortens the time you have to stop.
Do not exceed posted speed.
A NO TURN ON RED sign means do not turn right on a red signal.
The sign is posted where a right turn on red is dangerous, often because walkers or cross traffic are hard to see.
Do not turn right on red signal.
This sign means keep to the right of it.
It stands at the start of an island or divider, and passing on its left puts you in the path of oncoming cars.
Keep right of this sign.
A ONE WAY sign means travel only as indicated on the posted street.
Every car on a one-way street expects traffic to move the same way, so going against it means meeting cars head-on.
Travel only as indicated on the posted street.
On the test
What does this sign tell you?
Do not go past it this way. Past this sign traffic comes straight at you, and a head-on crash is among the deadliest kind. Alaska Driver Manual, p.44: “Do not proceed beyond this sign which faces traffic entering a roadway or ramp in the wrong direction.”
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

- Paying opens the rest of the cards, unlimited full-length practice tests, and retests built from exactly the questions you got wrong.
