Stop and yield signs — Vermont Permit Test
Stop and yield signs on the Vermont permit test — 3 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
This sign means you must stop, scan the intersection, honor the right of way and then proceed.
The stop is only the first half. What the stop is for is the look that comes after it.
It means you must stop scan the intersection, honor the right of way, and then proceed.
At this sign you must stop before the stop line, the crosswalk whether marked or unmarked, or the intersecting road, whichever comes first.
An unmarked crosswalk still exists, and stopping past it puts the car where somebody is walking.
You are required to stop before the stop line, crosswalk (marked or unmarked) or the intersecting road, whichever comes first.
This sign means you should slow down, search, and enter only if the way is clear of pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles.
It asks for a stop only when one is needed, which puts the judgment about the gap onto you.

On the test
What does a driver do at this sign?
Stop, scan the intersection, honor the right of way, then go. The stop is only the first half. What the stop is for is the look that comes after it. 2025 Vermont Driver's Manual, p.32: “It means you must stop scan the intersection, honor the right of way, and then proceed.”
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.
What it costs
- One payment, once — not a subscription. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel, for an exam you sit one time.
- Free to start: a 10-question test and the first section of cards. No sign-up and no account.
- 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.
