Warning signs — Indiana Permit Test

This sign warns of an intersection ahead where a crossroad meets your road.

Cars may enter from either side, so slow down and look both ways as you get near.

Intersection Ahead

This sign marks a no-passing zone, and it is posted on the left side of the road.

It is placed where you would look as you pull out to pass, so you see it in time to stay in your lane.

A yellow, pennant-shaped “No Passing Zone” is posted on the left-hand side of the road,

This sign warns of a curve ahead in the road.

Taking a curve too fast can push the car off the road, so slow down before it, not in it.

Curve Ahead

This sign warns of a sharp turn ahead and tells you to slow down.

A sharp turn is much tighter than a curve and cannot be taken at normal speed.

Sharp Turn Slow Down

This sign warns that deer may cross the road ahead.

Deer move in groups and freeze in headlights. Hitting one at speed can kill the people in the car.

This sign warns that a divided highway begins ahead.

A median will soon separate the two directions, so stay on the right side of it.

Divided Highway Begins

This sign warns of a steep downgrade ahead.

Going downhill your speed builds up, and trucks need extra room to stop.

Steep Downgrade

This sign warns of a stop sign ahead.

The stop sign may be hidden by a hill or curve, so begin slowing before you see it.

Stop Ahead

This sign warns that traffic merges into your lane ahead.

Be ready to adjust your speed so the merging driver can fit in safely.

Merging Traffic

This sign warns of two-way traffic ahead.

Oncoming cars will now share the road with you, so stay right and do not pass carelessly.

Two-Way Traffic

This sign warns that the road ahead is slippery when wet.

Water on the road cuts your tires' grip, so slow down and brake gently.

Slippery When Wet

This sign warns of a traffic signal ahead.

The signal may be hard to see in time, so be ready to stop if the light changes.

Traffic Signal

This sign warns that the lane ahead ends.

When a lane ends you must find a gap and merge before it runs out.

Lane Ends

This sign warns that bicyclists may be on the road ahead.

Bicycles are slow and easy to miss, so watch for them and give them room.
