Regulatory sign pictures — Mississippi Permit Test
Regulatory sign pictures on the Mississippi permit test — 12 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
At a STOP sign you must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection, then yield to any traffic close enough to be a hazard.
A rolling stop gives you no time to see the car that is about to cross in front of you.
It requires you to come to a COMPLETE STOP before entering an intersection. After stopping, you MUST yield to any traffic close enough to be a hazard.
A YIELD sign means you must let other vehicles on the roadway have the right-of-way.
The road you are joining has the right-of-way, so its drivers will not slow down for you.
It means you MUST let other vehicles on the roadway have the right-of-way.
A DO NOT ENTER sign, with or without the words, means you may not enter that lane of travel.
Past this sign, traffic comes toward you, so going in puts you face to face with it.
Either way, it means you may not enter this lane of travel.
A WRONG WAY sign means you are driving against the traffic in your lane; you must leave the roadway and turn around as soon as possible.
Every second you stay in the lane, you risk a head-on crash with a car that does not expect you.
You must leave the roadway and turn around as soon as possible.
This sign means no left turns are allowed at the intersection.
Left turns may be banned where there is no safe gap in oncoming cars.
This sign means no LEFT turns are allowed at this intersection.
This sign means no right turns are allowed at the intersection.
A right turn here may cross a busy path or a street that is closed to you.
This sign means no RIGHT turns are allowed at this intersection.
This sign means you may not turn around in an intersection, in the center of a street, or in a highway median.
A car swinging around in the road blocks lanes in both directions at once.
This sign means YOU MAY NOT TURN AROUND in an intersection, in the center of a street, or in a highway median.
Signs like this mean right turns are never allowed while the signal is red; you must wait for the green light to turn right.
These signs go where people cross or cars come fast, so a turn on red there is a real danger.
signs like these mean RIGHT TURNS ARE NEVER ALLOWED while the traffic signal is red. You must wait for the green light to turn right.
This sign means keep right.
Passing on the wrong side of a divider can put you in the lane of cars coming at you.

All cars on that street go one way, so driving the other way meets them head on.
This sign means you may ONLY TRAVEL IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROW.
This sign shows the maximum speed allowed.
The posted figure is the top speed for a dry, clear day; rain or fog calls for less.
This sign indicates the MAXIUM SPEED ALLOWED under ideal driving conditions.
This sign means that crossing into another lane to pass a vehicle is prohibited.
Hills and curves hide oncoming cars there, so a pass could end in a head-on crash.
This sign means that crossing into another lane to pass a vehicle is PROHIBITED.
On the test
What must you do at this sign?
Stop fully, then yield to near traffic. A rolling stop gives you no time to see the car that is about to cross in front of you. Mississippi Driver's License Manual, p.28: “It requires you to come to a COMPLETE STOP before entering an intersection. After stopping, you MUST yield to any traffic close enough to be a hazard.”
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.
