Frequently asked questions

Is the rules of the road game free?

Yes. Rules of the Road Game is completely free, needs no account, and works on phones, tablets and computers.

Will this help me pass my permit or driver's license test?

The game covers the topics most U.S. written driving tests ask about: road signs, traffic signals, right-of-way, lane markings, safe driving and parking. It's a great way to practice, but study your own state's official driver handbook too, because some rules and numbers differ by state.

How many questions are there?

There are 59 questions in the bank. Choose a 10-question Quick Drive, a 20-question Road Trip, or the Full Exam with every question. Questions and answers are shuffled each time you play.

How does scoring work?

Each correct answer is worth 100 points. In timed mode you earn bonus points for answering quickly, and three or more correct answers in a row adds a streak bonus. Three wrong answers ends the game.

Are these rules the same in every state?

Most rules of the road are very similar across the U.S. because road signs follow a national standard (the MUTCD). Details like parking distances, school-bus rules on divided highways, and turning on red can vary, and the game points these out.

Can teachers use this in a driver's ed class?

Yes. The game works well on a classroom screen or on students' phones. After each game, the results screen lists every missed question with an explanation, which makes it easy to review together.
