Road warning sign pictures — Alaska Permit Test
Road warning 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
This sign means merge left: the road narrows ahead.
The lane you are in is about to run out, and waiting until the last moment forces a squeeze with the car beside you.
Merge left. Road narrows ahead
This sign means keep to the right of the divided highway ahead.
A divider is starting, and drifting left of it puts you on the side meant for oncoming traffic.
Keep to the right of divided highway
This sign means a two-way road: keep right of approaching traffic.
After a stretch of one-way or divided road it is easy to forget that cars will now come toward you in the next lane.
Two-way road. Keep right of approaching traffic.
This sign means reduce speed for a slippery roadway after rains, frost and the like.
Tires grip a wet or frosty road far less, so a speed that is fine when dry can send you into a skid.
Reduce speed for slippery roadway after rains, frost, etc.
This sign means prepare to stop at a traffic signal ahead.
The signal may be hidden by a curve or hill, and coming on it fast leaves no room to stop if it changes.
Prepare to stop at traffic signal ahead.
On the test
What should you do when you see this sign?
Merge left; the road narrows. The lane you are in is about to run out, and waiting until the last moment forces a squeeze with the car beside you. Alaska Driver Manual, p.45: “Merge left. Road narrows 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.
