As most aspiring drivers already recognize some of the more common road signs and pavement markings before they embark on their driver’s ed journey, they often make the mistake of assuming they can squeeze in a little study time before the assessment and scrape through with a pass. This is very rarely the way it pans out. Get ahead of the game and make sure you are ready for any road sign or pavement marking question that comes up during the Vermont DMV test, using the information and free resources provided here.
You may think your knowledge of road signs and pavement markings is up-to-scratch already. This is unlikely to be the case, even if you can identify many of the common road signs like “STOP”, “YIELD” and “WRONG WAY”. Anybody who understands English can figure out what these signs mean, but keep in mind that not all road signs use letters or words to convey their message. Most road signs are considerably more obscure than those mentioned above, relying primarily on a code of shapes, colors and symbols to communicate with motorists. Plus, there are literally dozens of different regulatory signs, warning signs, guide signs and work zone signs in the DMV database, any of which could be addressed during the VT permit test. If you are keen to earn your learner’s permit and get on the road as soon as possible, it is important to understand that you cannot cut corners where road signs and pavement markings are concerned.
