Maryland Road Signs for the 25-Question Learner-Permit Test

Recognize shapes before wording

Know stop, yield, warning, railroad, school and regulatory shapes quickly.

Learn sign families by color

Connect regulatory, warning, construction, guide and service colors with their purpose.

Know what the driver must do

For each sign, be ready to explain whether to stop, yield, slow, change position or prepare for a hazard.

Use MVA's timed and untimed official tests

Practice until sign recognition stays accurate even under the 20-minute time limit.

Road signs are a major part of Maryland's 25-question test

The MVA test explicitly covers traffic signs, road rules and safe-driving practices. Use the current Driver's Manual and Maryland's timed 25-question tutorial rather than generic practice banks.

Recognize signs by shape and color

Study the standard shapes and colors used for stop, yield, warning, regulatory, school, railroad, work-zone and guide signs. Visual recognition is faster than trying to read every sign from scratch.

Review signals and lane markings too

The manual's traffic-control material also covers traffic lights, lane-control signals, pavement lines and intersection markings. These concepts often appear in rule-based test questions.
