Georgia Road Signs Quiz – The Road Signs You Must Know

An octagon (eight-sided shape) always means stop.

When you come to it, you must make a complete stop at a marked stop line. If there is no stop line, stop before the crosswalk on your side of the intersection. If there is no crosswalk, stop at a point from which you can best see oncoming traffic.

Flaggers are used to direct traffic through and around work zones. A flagger has the same authority as a regulatory sign in a work zone. Obey a flagger's traffic control directions.

Pedestrian crossing.

Just ahead is where people on foot often cross. Use caution as you approach and drive more slowly and carefully, watching both sides of the street for pedestrians.

When pedestrians are in the crosswalks, they must be given the right-of-way.

Lane-use control signals are special signals posted by the side of the road or overhead. They indicate whether you should or should not drive in a specific lane. A green arrow means you can use the lane. A red X means you cannot.

A flashing yellow X means the lane is only for turning. A steady yellow X means that the use of the lane is changing, and you should move out of it when it is safe to do so.

The one-way sign indicates streets or roadways where traffic can only travel in one direction. You may travel only in the direction of the arrow.
