Yes, the DMV written test covers traffic signs. In fact, many states have an individual road signs test. If your state doesn’t have an individual test for road sign identification, there will be a section on the learners permit or drivers license written exam about traffic signs.

Traffic signs or road signs are used to help travelers safely reach their destination. Traffic signs are signs placed on the side of the road or above a highway, roadway, pathway, or other route to provide information to road users. Signs help guide and warn us; they regulate the flow of traffic for all travelers.

The color and shape of the sign are very important to determining its meaning. For example, circle signs are exclusively for railroad advance warning signs and pentagons are used for school advance warning and county route marker signs. The color green used as a background color is for guide and information signs, while the color brown used as a background color is for signs related to points of recreational or cultural interest.

Most of us know the majority of road signs because we have had them in our daily lives for so long. Since we were children riding bikes, skating, or walking, we were taught to pay attention to traffic signs. If you need a quick refresher, however, you can usually find a road sign identification practice test in your state's driver manual or on the DMV Web site.
