Sample Florida permit-test questions
Below are 4 sample questions from the Florida question bank. The interactive practice test above randomizes from the same pool.
A steady red arrow pointing right means
- you must stop and you cannot go in the direction of the arrow.
- you must slow down and yield to approaching traffic before you turn.
- you must stop and yield to approaching traffic before you turn.
- you may turn in the direction of the arrow.
Correct answer: C
Explanation: In Florida, unlike many other states, you may make the same kinds of turns at
a steady red arrow that you can make at a steady red light. That is, at a red
arrow pointing right, you may turn right; at a red arrow pointing left, you may
turn left but only from a one-way street onto another one-way street. You
must still come to a complete stop and then yield to traffic and pedestrians
before you turn.
You have entered an intersection to turn left on a green arrow signal. Then the arrow signal turns yellow. What should you do?
- Slow down.
- Make a U-turn.
- Turn left.
- Stop.
Correct answer: C
Explanation: Don't block an intersection. If you have already entered the intersection when
the green light or green arrow changes to yellow or red, you must follow
through. Perform the maneuver that you planned to make and clear the
intersection.
What does this sign mean?
- Vehicles must not make U-turns at the sign.
- Trucks are not allowed to make U-turns.
- All vehicles must make U-turns at the sign.
- It means none of the above.
Correct answer: A
Explanation: This sign indicates that U-turns are prohibited here.
When you're riding a bicycle on a one-way street with two or more traffic lanes, you may ride
- (a) on the left-hand side of the roadway.
- (b) near the right edge of the roadway.
- (a) or (b)
- (c) in the center of the roadway.
Correct answer: C
Explanation: On most roads, you must ride a bicycle near the right edge of the roadway.
However, on a one-way street with at least two lanes, you may also ride on
the left side of the roadway. [FL Stat § 316.2065]
