Delaware Road Signs & Driver Knowledge Test Exam Guide

The Rules of the Road knowledge test asks a series of questions based on Delaware's rules of the road, motor vehicle laws, and safety practices. Road signs aren't a standalone exam; instead, the Delaware Driver Manual dedicates full sections to Regulatory Signs and Warning Signs, and questions on sign shapes, colors, and meanings are folded directly into the knowledge test.

• Delaware rules of the road and motor vehicle laws
• Safety practices for everyday driving
• Regulatory signs (laws and traffic direction)
• Warning signs (shapes and colors)

The knowledge test itself carries no separate fee — it's included in the $40.00 Class D license application fee, which also covers an eye screening. Motorcycle permit holders who need to extend their permit before it expires pay an additional $5.00. For any other fees not covered here, check the official Delaware DMV fee schedule.

Delaware's DMV does not publish an official total question count or passing score for the Rules of the Road knowledge test, so practicing broadly across signs, laws, and safety topics is the safest way to prepare; consult the Delaware Driver Manual for the exact content areas. If you don't pass, you must wait at least 10 days before retaking the exam. Once you pass the knowledge test, you're eligible to take the road exam 10 days later, and permit holders must log 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night, before that road test.
