FL Road Signs Cheat Sheet.
The night-before summary, built like the exam.

The bar

50 questions. 40 correct to pass. 80 percent. Ten wrong answers of margin — spend none of them on signs and markings, which are national and stable.

Three named areas: traffic laws, safe driving practices, identifying traffic controls. Learner's licence from age 15, with a vision and hearing exam and the required education course.

Move Over — two rules, not one

• Move over a lane for emergency, service, utility and disabled vehicles stopped on the roadside.
• Can't move over safely? Slow to 20 mph below the posted limit. Posted 55 → 35. Posted 70 → 50.
• Posted 20 mph or less? Slow to 5 mph. This second branch is the one candidates miss — subtracting 20 from 20 gives no workable answer.
• Since January 1, 2025: covers any roadside vehicle with hazard lights, flares, or visible emergency signage. An ordinary driver changing a tyre now gets the same protection as a patrol car.

School buses — paint is not a barrier

Opposite-direction traffic may continue only where the highway is divided by a raised barrier or an unpaved median at least 5 feet wide.

• Painted lines and pavement markings are explicitly not barriers. A double yellow divides nothing here.
• Lane count is irrelevant — three lanes each way with no physical median still requires the stop.
• Even where the exception applies, slow and watch for students.

Minimum fine $265; $465 minimum if you pass on the side where children enter and exit. These are floors, not ceilings, and the escalation is about which side you passed — not how many times you've offended.

Under 21 — three parts

• 0.02 or more → licence immediately suspended six months. Administrative; does not wait on a court outcome.
• Second offence → one year (a flat period, not tied to turning 21).
• A Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course must be completed before hardship reinstatement. Serving the time alone does not restore driving.

Underneath: 0.08 adult, 0.04 commercial (attaches to the vehicle, not the licence). Implied consent applies throughout. Only time lowers BAC.

Right-of-way and signals

1. Four-way stop: arrival order; right-hand rule breaks ties only.
2. Left on a green ball: yield to oncoming.
3. Flashing red = stop sign. Flashing yellow = caution. Opposite instructions.
4. Steady yellow: stop if you safely can; too close means continue through.

Identifying traffic controls

• Octagon stop · downward triangle yield · diamond warning · pentagon school · circle railroad.
• Orange work zone · blue motorist services · brown recreational and cultural.
• Line colour tells you direction (white same way, yellow opposing); whether the line is solid or broken tells you permission (solid yellow on your side means no passing on your side).
• Following distance: three seconds good conditions.
