  1. Q1Road signs

    STOP

    What must you do when approaching a red octagonal STOP sign?

    1. AStop only if pedestrians are in the crosswalk
    2. BCome to a complete stop and yield to all traffic and pedestrians
    3. CSlow down and proceed if no opposing traffic is within sight
    4. DYield the right-of-way without coming to a complete stop
    Show answer

    B. Come to a complete stop and yield to all traffic and pedestrians An octagonal STOP sign always requires a complete stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection. Under Oregon law, you must yield the right-of-way to all approaching vehicles and stop and stay stopped for pedestrians crossing the roadway before proceeding safely into the intersection. Never roll through a stop sign without stopping, even if the road appears completely clear of cross-traffic.

  2. Q2Road signs

    YIELD

    What does a triangular red-and-white YIELD sign require you to do?

    1. AAccelerate rapidly to merge ahead of any approaching highway traffic
    2. BSlow down and yield right-of-way to approaching vehicles and pedestrians
    3. CCome to a complete stop at all times before entering the roadway
    4. DMaintain your speed because cross-traffic must yield to your vehicle to prevent potential conflicts with oncoming traffic or pedestrians
    Show answer

    B. Slow down and yield right-of-way to approaching vehicles and pedestrians A triangular red-and-white YIELD sign indicates that you must slow down and give the right-of-way to all vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians on the roadway you are entering or crossing. You must stop completely if necessary to prevent an immediate collision or hazard. You may proceed without stopping only if the crossing roadway is entirely clear of approaching vehicles and pedestrians.

  3. Q3Intersections and turns

    Under Oregon law, how far in advance must you signal before making a turn or changing lanes?

    1. AAt least 100 feet continuously before the turn or lane change
    2. BAt least 50 feet continuously before the maneuver
    3. CA distance of At least 200 feet on city streets and 300 feet on freeways under normal road conditions
    4. DOnly when another vehicle is directly behind your car to ensure adequate clearance and maintain overall traffic flow
    Show answer

    A. At least 100 feet continuously before the turn or lane change Oregon law requires drivers to signal continuously for at least 100 feet before turning or changing lanes. Signaling alerts pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers of your intention so they can adjust their speed and position safely. Check your side mirrors and blind spots carefully before beginning the turn or moving into the adjacent travel lane.

You must be at least 15 years old to obtain an instruction permit in Oregon. You must pass the knowledge test and vision screening, have parent or legal guardian consent if under 18, and pay the required fee.

Yes. Open the exam simulator and sit a timed mock test of 20 questions built from the free questions, once, with no signup. Unlocking the exam adds full-length runs of 35 questions in 35 minutes (a practice clock), as many as you like, each a new draw from the whole bank.

The exam's agency publishes no topic weights, so it mixes topics in proportion to the question bank, favouring questions you missed before and never repeating one within a run. A retake is a new draw, so you will meet different questions. It is a practice mock test, not an official replica of the real exam.
