Guide signs — New Hampshire Permit Test

Guide signs on the New Hampshire permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

This sign gives information on intersecting roads and helps direct a driver to cities and towns.

Guide signs are the only ones on the road that answer where you are going rather than how you must drive.

This sign helps a driver find services such as hospitals, service stations, restaurants and hotels.

These signs appear where a driver has to decide to leave the road, so they are put far enough ahead to act on.

Guide signs can also help drivers find hospitals, service stations, restaurants, and hotels.

This sign shows points of interest along the roadway.

Separating places to visit from places to turn keeps a driver from reading the wrong sign at a decision point.

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.
