Virginia CDL Traffic Signals & Road Markings Test 2026

Beyond static signs, a Virginia CDL signals and markings test covers the traffic lights, lane markings, and pavement symbols the 2026 general knowledge exam expects every applicant to read correctly. Signals and markings work together with signs to form the full traffic-control picture examiners test.

Expect questions on signal light sequences and what a flashing versus solid light means for a commercial vehicle's stopping distance, plus pavement marking colors and patterns - solid versus broken lines, yellow versus white - that indicate whether passing or lane changes are permitted. Turn lane markings and reversible lane symbols get separate coverage too.

Virginia's Commercial Driver's Manual covers signals and markings in the same chapter as signs because the exam expects you to read all three together in a real driving scene. This test isolates signals and markings specifically so any gaps left by the shapes and signs drills get closed before test day.
