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

The numbers to remember

• Restricted (hardship) permit: age 14; regular learner's permit: age 15.
• Intermediate permit hold: at least 6 months (or until age 17); any permit hold before full privileges: 10 days.
• Behind-the-wheel practice: 50 hours, including 10 hours at night.
• Permit driving window: 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
• Class C/permit fee: $45; renewal: $35; Restricted License/Permit: $25, valid 60 days.
• Fail the written test? You get 2 attempts per day, same test.
• Written test is required if never licensed anywhere, or license expired 2+ years.
• Reading trouble? WYDOT's automated phone system reads questions aloud instead of requiring you to read them yourself.
• Study the manual that matches your class: Class C uses Rules of the Road, Commercial A/B/C uses the Heavy Vehicle Manual, Class M uses the Motorcycle manual — the current Class C reference is the 2021 manual.

Sign shapes at a glance

• Octagon, red — Stop. Always a full stop, no rolling through.
• Downward triangle, red/white — Yield. Slow and let others go first.
• Round, yellow/black — Railroad crossing ahead.
• Diamond, yellow — General warning: curves, hazards, crossings.
• Pentagon, yellow — School zone or school crossing.
• Rectangle, white — Regulatory rule: speed limits, turn restrictions, parking.
• Rectangle, green — Guide/direction: exits, distances, destinations.
• Orange — Construction or work zone; expect reduced limits.
• Blue — Motorist services: gas, food, lodging, hospitals.

Right-of-way in one breath

• First to arrive at an uncontrolled intersection or 4-way stop goes first; on a tie, yield to the driver on your right.
• Left turns yield to oncoming traffic going straight or turning right.
• Traffic on a terminating road (a T-intersection) yields to traffic on the through road.
• Always yield to pedestrians in marked and unmarked crosswalks, and to emergency vehicles running lights or siren — pull right and stop.
• Entering a roundabout? Yield to traffic already circulating inside it.

Top traps

• Posted limits are a ceiling for ideal conditions only — slow down further in rain, snow, wind, fog, or heavy traffic, and double your following distance on wet or icy pavement.
• Studying the wrong manual for your license class wastes hours on content that won't appear on your test.
• Assuming right-of-way is something you own rather than something others yield to you — it's never automatically "yours."
• Treating texting-while-driving as low-risk — it removes eyes, hands, and attention from the road all at once, similar in effect to impairment.
• Underestimating retest limits — only 2 tries per day if you fail, so warm up on a full practice set before your appointment, not during it.
