The real Alabama knowledge test is the DMV exam used for a learner permit. This page contains one fixed 20 question slice of the full free 180 question bank, with an explanation after each answer.
Sample question from test 1
speed
What does an Alabama school-zone sign indicate during the hours shown on the sign?
- The posted school-zone speed limit applies during those indicated hours
- A statewide 20 mph limit applies at every school
- The ordinary road speed limit applies until children enter the roadway
- Drivers may ignore the sign when its flashing lights are off
Answer: The posted school-zone speed limit applies during those indicated hours. A school-zone sign identifies the speed limit that governs during the hours printed on the sign. The manual also notes that the limit may appear on a lighted sign with flashing amber lights. The statewide 20 mph choice invents a single number that this passage does not establish. Waiting for children to enter the road is unsafe because the restriction is tied to the displayed hours, not to a child’s location. A useful roadside cue is to look for the hours or amber flash before choosing your speed, then obey the posted school-zone limit while it applies.
