NL Traffic Signs and Road Situations
A significant part of the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Class 5 Knowledge Exam is traffic signs and road situations. To obtain a Class 5 learnerโs licence in NL, an individual must be at least 16 years old, pass a vision screening and the Class 5 Knowledge Exam, and present valid government-issued identification. If youโre under 18, you must provide written parental or guardian consent to test. If you fail the exam, you must wait one day and pay a fee to retest. Our NL Traffic Signs and Road Situations Practice Test covers everything necessary to pass the knowledge exam on your first attempt.Once the requirements are met and you receive a Class 5 Learnerโs Licence, you must be accompanied by a fully licensed driver with four years of driving experience and may not drive from midnight to 5 a.m. These restrictions are part of NLโs Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) system which reduces restrictions through a three-stage process: Class 5 (Level I: Learnerโs Licence), Class 5 (Level II: Probationary Licence), and the full Class 5 licence. The GDL program and its restrictions and holding periods apply to all new drivers, including adults. In NL, you must display an L on the back of your vehicle if you are in the learnerโs phase or a P if you are in the probationary phase. Each phase requires a 12-month holding period (for those who have completed an approved driver education course, the learnerโs phase is eight months). The NL Knowledge Exam (available in English, French, and Ukrainian) comprises 40 multiple-choice questions covering road rules, traffic control signs, right-of-way rules, and defensive driving strategies. You may take the exam online through the MyGovNL portal or at a Motor Registration Division (MRD) office and must correctly answer at least 34 out of 40 (85%) questions to pass. Our NL Traffic Signs and Road Situations Practice Test is based on the most recent version of the Newfoundland and Labrador Driverโs Handbook. Containing 30 multiple-choice questions to assess your knowledge of traffic signs and road situations, immediate explanations for each response will be provided. With this approach, youโll learn faster and pass this part of the official knowledge test on your first attempt. Traffic signs and road situations are part of your knowledge exam.

At Tests.ca, we understand the importance of reliable and accurate practice tests to help you prepare for your driver's knowledge exam. That's why we've developed a meticulous process to create and continually update our practice questions, ensuring they reflect the most current driving laws and regulations.
Here's an inside look at how we maintain the highest quality in our practice tests.
Content Creation and Verification Process
- Alignment with Official Driving Handbooks:
Every question we develop is based on the most recent version of each province's official driving manual. Our team regularly monitors each province's official website for the latest updates to ensure our practice tests are always aligned with the most current information. - Community Feedback Integration:
We leverage feedback from our vast community of users to understand which topics are most frequently tested. This helps us focus on the areas that are most relevant and beneficial for your preparation. - Expert Content Creation:
Our in-house editor, Steven, who has extensive experience in driver education, crafts each question with precision. He conducts a thorough review of each question against the official manuals to ensure accuracy. - Rigorous Review Process:
Once Steven has finalized a set of questions, our team conducts a joint review session. This second level of scrutiny involves content accuracy, proofreading, and fact-checking to eliminate any errors. - User Feedback Mechanism:
After a question goes live on our site, we keep the lines of communication open. Each question features a feedback button, inviting users to report any issues or errors. This continuous feedback loop allows us to address and rectify any concerns promptly. - Responsive Updates:
In line with our commitment to accuracy, we quickly update our practice questions to reflect any changes in the provincial government manuals. Additionally, we update the free electronic copy of the state's driver's license manuals on our site, typically within a few days after the government publishes them.
Our thorough quality control process ensures that you have access to practice tests that are as accurate and up-to-date as possible. We believe in the power of well-prepared drivers and are dedicated to providing you with the best study tools to help you succeed on your driver's knowledge exam.
