The real Rhode Island 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 5
signs
At an uncontrolled intersection, how should a driver approach?
- Treat the intersection as if a yield sign were present
- Assume the vehicle on the wider road always goes first
- Accelerate through before another vehicle arrives
- Stop only if a pedestrian is visible
Answer: Treat the intersection as if a yield sign were present. An uncontrolled intersection has no sign or signal assigning the right-of-way, so Rhode Island guidance says to treat it as if a yield sign were present. Slow down, scan in every direction, and yield when another road user has priority or the situation is uncertain. Road width does not automatically decide who proceeds, and accelerating removes reaction time. Waiting for a visible pedestrian is also too narrow because vehicles and bicycles may cross your path. The practical cue is absence of control, which means extra caution and yielding judgment.
