Take a free, untimed Washington DMV practice test in the real exam format: 40 questions, 32 correct to pass. Fresh random questions every attempt.
The Washington knowledge test is a single 40-question exam covering road signs and the rules of the road together. You need 32 correct (80%) to pass.
Answer: You, the arriving vehicle
You must yield to any vehicle already in the intersection.

A solid red light allows a right turn after a full stop, where not prohibited by a sign.

A left turn on red is only allowed when moving from a one-way street onto another one-way street.

Questions and exam format researched against Washington's official driver handbook and state sources. Last verified 18 August 2026.
Official Washington Driver Guide (dol.wa.gov, full PDF text-extracted), and Revised Code of Washington sections RCW 46.61.400 (speed defaults), 46.61.212 (Move Over/emergency zone), 46.61.500 (reckless driving), 46.61.688 (seat belts), 46.61.672 (personal electronic device use), 46.61.687 (child restraint), 46.20.308 (Implied Consent), and 46.65.020/46.65.070 (Habitual Traffic Offender designation and revocation) — researched and verified 2026-08-18. Exam format (40 questions, 80%/32 correct, unified pool with no separate sign section) officially confirmed on dol.wa.gov. The `points` category deliberately centers on the well-sourced Habitual Traffic Offender mechanism rather than a demerit-point table, because Washington does not use points against driving privileges. It also deliberately avoids asserting a specific numeric threshold for a separate, lower-tier "too many tickets" suspension under RCW 46.20.291(3): two official DOL pages gave conflicting numbers (one said 6 violations/12 months or 7/24 months, another said 3/12 or 4/24) and the statute itself is discretionary with no numeric threshold in its text, so that figure could not be resolved from official sources and was excluded rather than guessed. Known gaps deliberately NOT invented: exact dollar fine amounts for seat belt, handheld-phone, and child-restraint violations (set by court fee schedule, page inaccessible); the meaning of blue and green parking curb colors (only white, yellow, and red are confirmed for Washington); funeral procession right-of-way rules (not addressed anywhere in the Driver Guide); specific truck/bus no-zone footage figures (described only qualitatively); a specific numeric following-distance figure behind a moving emergency vehicle (the Guide states vehicles must yield but gives no "X feet" rule, unlike some other states); and a standard passenger-car stopping-distance table (only a loaded-truck example and general headlight-glow guidance were found). Re-verify periodically, as the Driver Guide, fees, and thresholds change over time.
