    • The car on your right
    • The car going straight
    • The largest vehicle

    • The car on your right

  3. Sample 3 · National standard

    Red octagon STOP sign

    What does this sign require you to do? (Red octagon STOP sign)

    • Slow down and continue if no one is coming
    • Come to a full stop, then go only when it is safe
    • Stop only if other vehicles are at the intersection
    • Stop only when turning
    Show answer

    Come to a full stop, then go only when it is safe. An octagon is used for STOP and nothing else. It is placed where a full stop is always required, so you stop completely every time, then proceed only when you can do so safely.

What does the Texas test cover?

Every state tests road signs, signals and pavement markings (a national standard), right-of-way, and safe-driving practice, plus its own laws — parking distances, alcohol limits, school-bus and emergency-vehicle rules. The Texas Driver Handbook (DL-7, revised January 2026) is the source of truth.
