Signs Recognition Test No. 3

Recognizing some of the most common road signs you see on North Carolina highways is an important part of your driver’s license test in North Carolina.

On the exam, an DMV examiner will ask you to identify 12 road signs by shape, color, and symbols. You must correctly answer at least 9 of the signs recognition questions.

It is a good idea to get the latest version of the NCDOT driver’s handbook and study the chapter with traffic signs extra carefully.
