New Brunswick Road Signs Test
Ninety signs, signals and pavement-marking questions drawn from the 2026 New Brunswick Driver's Handbook. Red regulatory octagons and circles, yellow-diamond warnings, orange construction, green information, fluorescent-yellow-green school zones, covered-bridge warnings — the full catalogue, with per-wrong-option explanations when you miss.
What's in this drill
The road signs drill pulls from the signs portion of the full 240-question bank. Every question cites the New Brunswick Driver's Handbook chapter it comes from, and every wrong option carries its own one-sentence explanation. You see the correct answer plus why the specific option you picked was wrong — not just a generic 'here is the right answer' summary.
- 90 sign and marking questions — regulatory, warning, information, construction, school zone
- Pavement markings — solid and dashed yellow and white lines, crosswalks, HOV diamonds, arrows
- Traffic signals — solid, flashing, protected arrows, pedestrian signals
- Per-wrong-option explanations — pick a wrong answer and see why that specific option is off
- Handbook citations — every answer points back to a chapter in the official 2026 NB Driver's Handbook
Sign colours and shapes — the one-page cheat
- Red octagon — stop. Full halt at the stop line.
- Red circle with slash — prohibition (no entry, no parking, no U-turn, no truck, no bike, no pedestrian).
- White rectangle, black text — regulation (MAXIMUM, MINIMUM, ONE WAY, PASS WITH CARE).
- Yellow diamond — warning of what's ahead on the road (curve, bump, hill, two-way, crossing).
- Yellow pennant on the left — start of a no-passing zone.
- Orange — temporary construction, maintenance or utility work.
- Green rectangle — direction and distance to destinations.
- Blue rectangle — services (food, lodging, fuel, hospital 'H').
- Brown rectangle — parks, recreation, heritage sites — including NB's famous covered bridges.
- Fluorescent yellow-green pentagon or diamond — school zone or crossing (reserved colour).
Sample sign questions
Q1. A fluorescent-yellow-green diamond with a child symbol marks:
- A. A school zone or school crossing ← correct
- B. A daycare parking area
- C. A hospital entrance
- D. A bus-stop zone
Why: Fluorescent-yellow-green is reserved for schools, school zones and school crossings so drivers can spot them quickly. See the NB Driver's Handbook — Chapter 3.
Q2. A solid yellow line to the right of a dashed yellow line means:
- A. Drivers on both sides may pass
- B. Drivers on your side (solid) may not pass; the other side may ← correct
- C. The road is closed to passing in both directions
- D. Passing is only allowed from the shoulder
Why: When the solid yellow is on your side, passing is prohibited; drivers facing the dashed side may still pass when safe. See the handbook — Chapter 3.
Q3. A 'COVERED BRIDGE' advance-warning sign in NB tells drivers to:
- A. Expect a low, narrow bridge; reduce speed and watch clearance height ← correct
- B. Expect a toll
- C. Yield to pedestrians only
- D. Speed up to clear
Why: Covered bridges in NB are low and narrow, with weight and height restrictions. Reduce speed and check clearance before entering. See the handbook — Chapter 3.
Common questions
How many sign questions are on the New Brunswick test?
Roughly a third to half of the 20 questions on the NB Class 7(I) Learner test deal with signs, signals, and pavement markings. Mastering signs is the fastest way to lift a test score.
What sign colours should I memorise?
Red = regulation. Yellow = warning. Orange = construction. Green = direction. Blue = services. Brown = parks and heritage. Fluorescent yellow-green = school zones.
What about pavement markings?
Yellow lines separate opposing traffic. White lines separate same-direction lanes. Solid lines mean do-not-cross; dashed lines mean cross when safe. A solid-on-one-side combination means passing is only legal from the dashed side.
