Regulatory signs — Georgia Permit Test

This sign means you are headed into a one-way highway or ramp against the traffic, and driving that way is not allowed.

Everything on that road is coming at you at full speed, and neither side has room to swerve.

You are approaching a one-way highway or ramp. Driving on the highway or ramp in the direction you are traveling is not allowed.

A do not enter sign marks a one-way road: if you are facing it, the traffic on that road is coming toward you and you may not drive down it.

Drivers on that road have no reason to expect anyone coming the other way, so nobody looks.

This marks a one-way road. If you are facing this sign traffic is coming toward you. You must not continue down the road.

A one-way sign means traffic on that street runs in the direction of the arrow, and you may travel only that way.

Turning the wrong way puts you nose to nose with a whole street of drivers who never look for you.

You may travel only in the direction of the arrow.

This sign means no right turn at this intersection, whether or not the way looks clear.

A turn is banned here because of something you cannot see from the line, like a hidden one-way street.

You cannot make a right turn at this intersection.

This sign means you may not turn around to go back the other way at this intersection.

Turning back across the whole road takes longer than any gap a following driver expects to leave.

You cannot turn around to go in the opposite direction at this intersection.

A circle with a slash through it means no, and the picture inside the circle is the thing that is not allowed; here it is a turn to the left.

Once you know what the slash means, a sign you have never met before still tells you its rule.

Remember, a red circle with a red slash from upper left to lower right means "No." The picture within the circle shows what is prohibited.

Where this sign is posted, a right turn on a stop light is banned even after you have made a complete stop.

Stopping first is what usually earns the turn, and here the state has taken that away for a reason.

A right turn on red is prohibited, even after coming to a complete stop.

A keep right sign means traffic has to pass on the right of the median or the obstruction the sign stands in front of.

Something solid is in the road just past the sign, and the arrow is telling you which way it is safe.

Traffic is required to keep to the right of medians or obstructions.

A speed limit sign states the maximum speed the law allows on that stretch of road, so the figure on it is a ceiling and not a target.

The figure changes from road to road, and treating whichever one you meet as a target leaves you nothing in hand.

55 miles per hour is the maximum speed limit permitted in this area.

A DO NOT PASS sign marks a stretch of two-lane road where passing is against the law, the same as a solid line on your side of the center line.

Passing is banned here because the road hides whatever is coming until it is too close to matter.

In area marked by a solid yellow line on the right of the center line, or a "Do Not Pass" sign, or double yellow lines

You see this sign facing you on a ramp. What has happened?

You are about to drive against one-way traffic. Everything on that road is coming at you at full speed, and neither side has room to swerve.
