Nevada DMV Road Sign Colors & Shapes Practice Test

Nevada DMV Road Sign Colors & Shapes Practice Test Quiz 2025. When the Nevada test drills you on signs, it’s testing whether you can read a sign at a glance without the words. Shape tells you the type of message.

Color tells you the tone of the message (order, warning, guidance). Memorize those two layers, and you’ll decode almost anything the road throws at you. Don’t memorize dozens of individual signs. Lock in the shape and color language, and you’ll read any sign—even a new one—at full speed.
