Warning signs text — Mississippi Permit Test
Warning signs text on the Mississippi permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
A NEW LANE ENTERS ROADWAY sign means a lane is being added; no merging is necessary.
Mixing it up with a lane-ends sign can make a driver force a merge that was never needed.
NEW LANE ENTERS ROADWAY. (No merging necessary.)
A school crossing sign warns that children must cross the street on their way to and from school, and it is sometimes several blocks from the school.
Children may be crossing well before you can see the school, so slow down at the sign.
SCHOOL CROSSING: This sign warns that children must cross the street on their way to and from school. The sign is sometimes located several blocks from the school.
A CROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP sign under your STOP sign means it is not a four-way stop: the other lanes have the right of way and will not stop.
If you think the cross traffic must stop too, you may pull out in front of a car that never slows.
It tells you that although you must stop for your stop sign, this is NOT a four-way stop. Other traffic lanes have the right of way and will not stop.
If you travel in a lane marked EXIT ONLY, you must continue onto the exit.
A late swerve out of an exit lane cuts off the cars still on the main road.
If traveling in a lane marked with this sign you MUST CONTINUE ONTO THE EXIT.
On the test
A sign warns NEW LANE ENTERS ROADWAY. Must the cars in the new lane merge?
No, no merging is needed. Mixing it up with a lane-ends sign can make a driver force a merge that was never needed. Mississippi Driver's License Manual, p.30: “NEW LANE ENTERS ROADWAY. (No merging necessary.)”
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.

- Paying opens the rest of the cards, unlimited full-length practice tests, and retests built from exactly the questions you got wrong.
- Every level up to Prepared — 3 tests passed in a row.
- Do the work, fail the real exam, and we refund you.
