1. What action does a red, eight-sided (octagonal) sign require of a motorcyclist?
Correct answer: Make a complete stop before proceeding
A red octagon is always a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk and proceed only when the way is clear and it is safe to go.

2. What does a round highway sign warn a motorcyclist about?
Correct answer: A set of railroad tracks is coming up
Circular signs are used for one thing only: a railroad crossing coming up. Posted well ahead of the rails, it is your cue to ease off, look and listen for a train, and be ready to halt. If one is coming, wait for it rather than gambling on beating it.

3. On a regulatory sign, a red circle with a red slash running through it means:
Correct answer: Whatever is pictured inside the circle is not permitted
The slashed circle is the standard symbol for a prohibition. Whatever is drawn inside it is the movement or vehicle type banned at that spot, and regulatory signs must be obeyed exactly as if they were written traffic laws.

4. What does an orange, diamond-shaped sign tell a motorcyclist?
Correct answer: There is construction or a work zone ahead
Orange signs mark construction and work zones, warning of workers, equipment, lane closures, or changed conditions ahead. Slow down and watch for uneven pavement, loose debris, and sudden stops that are especially hazardous on a motorcycle.

5. A traffic sign shaped like a downward-pointing triangle tells a rider to do what?
Correct answer: Reduce speed, be ready to stop, and let other traffic go first
The triangle is the yield sign. Ease your speed down to whatever suits the conditions, stop if that is what safety takes, and let vehicles already in the intersection or closing in on the main road go ahead of you.

6. What do white, rectangular regulatory signs tell drivers and riders?
Correct answer: Laws you must obey, such as speed limits or turn restrictions
White rectangular signs are regulatory signs. They state laws you must obey, such as speed limits, turn restrictions, and one-way designations, and violating them is against the law.

7. A five-sided sign along the roadway means you are coming up on:
Correct answer: A school zone or a school crossing
Pentagon-shaped signs mark school areas and school crossings. Georgia posts them a set distance ahead of the school grounds or crossing so riders have time to slow down and look for children. Signs of this warning family are sometimes fluorescent green rather than yellow.

8. Along a Georgia highway you pass a series of blue signs with white lettering. What do they point you toward?
Correct answer: Service facilities for travelers
Blue-and-white signs are service signs. Rather than warning you of a hazard or stating a rule, they simply direct travelers to facilities available along the route.

9. A sign on the left-hand side of a two-lane highway marks where a no-passing zone begins. What does that mean for a pass you have already started?
Correct answer: You must be back in your own lane before you reach it
That sign is the start of the restricted stretch. Any pass has to be wrapped up, with your motorcycle settled back in the proper lane, before you get to it.

10. A diamond-shaped yellow sign is used to warn a rider about:
Correct answer: A possible hazard or change in the road ahead
Yellow diamond signs are warning signs. They alert you to a possible hazard or a change in the road ahead, such as a curve, intersection, or narrowing roadway.

11. Georgia requires certain vehicles to display an emblem warning that they travel slowly. A slow-moving vehicle is one that moves at less than:
Correct answer: 25 miles per hour
State law defines a slow-moving vehicle as one traveling under twenty-five miles per hour, and those vehicles must carry the warning emblem. Closing on one quickly is a genuine hazard on two wheels, so scan far ahead and set your pass up early.
