Regulatory sign pictures — Montana Permit Test

Regulatory sign pictures on the Montana permit test — 9 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

This sign means you must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection, and yield to traffic close enough to be an immediate hazard.

A rolling stop gives you no time to see the car that is about to cross in front of you.

It means that you must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection ahead and yield to traffic close enough to be an immediate hazard.

Montana Driver Manual, p.23

This sign means slow down to a reasonable speed and yield the right-of-way to all vehicles on the roadway you are entering.

Pulling out at full speed onto a busy road puts you in front of a driver who cannot brake in time.

Montana Driver Manual, p.23

This sign means the road ahead is a one-way roadway or all vehicle traffic is prohibited, so you must not enter.

A sign with a circle and slash across an arrow means do not do what the arrow shows; this one means no right turn.

A right turn here can put you into a street that is closed or into people crossing.

When you see a sign with a red circle and a red slash mark across a black arrow or symbol, it means don’t do whatever is shown.

On the test

What does this sign require you to do?

Stop fully, then yield to nearby traffic. A rolling stop gives you no time to see the car that is about to cross in front of you. Montana Driver Manual, p.23: “It means that you must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection ahead and yield to traffic close enough to be an immediate 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.
