Regulatory signs — Florida Permit Test

This sign means a complete halt, stopping before the stop line, or before the crosswalk or intersection where you have a clear view of approaching traffic.

Rolling through takes away the one second you had to look for what is coming.

Stop Sign. You must bring your vehicle to a complete halt. Stop before the stop line, or if there is no stop line, before the crosswalk or intersection at a point near the intersecting roadway where you have a clear view of approaching traffic.

This sign means slow down and give vehicles crossing your path the right-of-way, moving forward slowly without stopping only if the way is clear.

You cannot judge a gap in traffic at full speed, so the sign asks you to slow until you can.

Yield. Slow down. Give vehicles crossing your path the right-of-way. If the way is clear, you may move forward slowly without stopping.

This sign is posted on one-way streets and roadways you may not enter.

Behind it is traffic coming straight at you, which is why it is posted at the mouth.

Do Not Enter. On one-way streets and roadways where you may not enter.

This sign means you are going the wrong way and must turn around immediately.

Seeing it means the next set of headlights is coming straight down your lane.

Wrong Way. You are going the wrong way. Turn around immediately.

This sign sets the maximum speed for the stretch of road it is posted on, and your speed must not exceed it.

The number posted is a ceiling in good conditions, not a target in bad ones.

Speed Limit. Your speed must not exceed the posted speed in this area.

This sign means you must not make a complete turn to go in the opposite direction.

Turning back across traffic here is the movement that takes longest and is seen least.

No U-Turn. You must not make a complete turn to go in the opposite direction.

This sign means you must not make a right turn at this intersection.

Something you cannot see from the stop line makes that turn unsafe, so the state removed it.

No Right Turn. You must not make a right turn at this intersection (also No Left Turn).

This sign means you must not make a left turn at this intersection.

A left turn crosses everything coming the other way, which is what makes it the one to ban.

No Right Turn. You must not make a right turn at this intersection (also No Left Turn).

This sign means you must not turn right or left while the light is showing stop, and must wait for the green signal.

The crossing is busy enough that even a careful turn on stop is one movement too many.

No Turn on Red. You must not turn right or left during the red light. You must wait for the green signal.

This sign means you must travel only in the direction it points.

One-way streets only work while every car on them agrees which way is forward.

One Way. You must travel only in the direction of the arrow.

This sign means stay to the right of the divider it marks.

The divider has traffic on the far side of it, and the sign is the last warning before you meet it.

Keep Right. Stay to the right of the divider.

This sign means you may not pass another vehicle.

It is the long yellow triangle that points down the stretch you may not pass on.

No Passing. You may not pass another vehicle.

What must you do at this sign?

Come to a complete halt before the line. Rolling through takes away the one second you had to look for what is coming. Official Florida Driver License Handbook, p.47: “Stop Sign. You must bring your vehicle to a complete halt. Stop before the stop line, or if there is no stop line, before the crosswalk or intersection at a point near the intersecting roadway where you have a clear view of approaching traffic.”
