Signals and signs apply — Delaware Permit Test

Signals and signs apply on the Delaware permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

In Delaware, traffic signals and signs apply to everyone on a street or highway: people walking, driving or riding a bike.

A cyclist who thinks a red light is only for cars rides straight into cross traffic.

Traffic signals and signs apply to every person walking, driving, or riding a bike on a street or highway.

Delaware Driver Manual, p.69

Delaware's Red Light Reinforcement Program photographs drivers who run red lights, records their tag numbers, and mails them a citation.

A driver who thinks no officer means no ticket learns otherwise when the camera's letter arrives.

Drivers who run red lights are photographed, their vehicle tag numbers are recorded, and citations are automatically sent via the U.S. Postal Service.

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.
