A 3-minute lesson from the Indiana course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Regulation signs tell you what you must or must not do: speed, turns, lanes, and parking. Guidance and service signs help you find routes, exits, distances, and amenities.
Turn and lane regulation signs:
No Left Turn, No Right Turn, No U-Turn, No Turn on Red
Left on Green Arrow Only, Left Turn Signal, Left Turn Yield on Green
Left Lane Must Turn Left, Right Lane Must Turn Right, Right Lane Only
Turn Left or Go Through, Turn Right or Go Through, Multiple Turns
Two-Way Left Turn (Center Lane Only), Keep Right, Restricted Lane
Do Not Enter, One Way, Wrong Way, Do Not Pass
Stop, Yield, Stop Here on Red, Do Not Block Intersection
Driver services and recreation signs show nearby amenities, parks, and recreation areas, such as fuel, food, lodging, hospital, rest area, camping, state park, and historical marker.
You stop at a stop sign with a plaque reading CROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP. Drivers on the cross street won't be stopping for you. Wait for a safe gap in both directions before you go.
