About the test

Ontario G1 Knowledge Test

⚠️ExamHub is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reviewed by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), DriveTest, or ServiceOntario. These are unofficial practice questions — always confirm current test rules, fees, and booking at ontario.ca or drivetest.ca.

The G1 test is the first step in Ontario’s graduated licensing system — a written knowledge test covering road signs and the rules of the road. It has 40 questions split into two sections, 20 each, and you need 16 correct (80%) on both sections to pass.

ExamHub’s free G1 practice quiz has 260 original questions, checked against the official Ontario MTO Driver’s Handbook and split the same way the real test is: one bank for road signs, one for rules of the road.

Sample G1 practice questions

Six real questions pulled from the full bank, with the answer already shown — for the timed, no-peeking version, use the quiz above.

Question 1
You're the first vehicle to reach this eight-sided red sign at an intersection. What must you do before proceeding?
  • Slow down and proceed if no vehicles are approaching.
  • Come to a complete stop, then go only when the way is clear.
  • Stop completely only when a stop line is painted on the road.
  • Stop only if other vehicles or pedestrians are present.

Why: A stop sign requires a complete stop every time, regardless of visible traffic — at the stop line if marked, or the crosswalk, sidewalk edge, or intersection edge if not. You then wait until the way is fully clear before entering.

Question 2
What does this sign, showing a series of S-shaped curves, mean?
  • The road ahead has only one gentle curve to the left
  • The road ahead has just one sharp curve to the right
  • The road ahead runs straight for the next several kilometres
  • The road ahead winds, with curves in both directions

Why: The winding road sign shows a series of S-shaped curves, warning drivers that the road ahead changes direction repeatedly rather than having just a single bend.

Question 3
This orange diamond-shaped sign is posted with the number '1 KM'. What is it telling drivers?
  • A rest stop with services is located one kilometre ahead
  • A toll collection point is located one kilometre ahead
  • Construction begins one kilometre ahead on this road
  • A speed limit change takes effect one kilometre ahead

Why: Orange diamond signs mark temporary conditions like road work; this one gives drivers advance notice that construction work begins one kilometre ahead, so they have time to slow down and prepare.

Question 4
You notice a rectangular green sign with white lettering and an arrow along the highway, pointing toward a nearby town. What category of sign is this?
  • A warning sign alerting you to a hazard on the road
  • An information sign guiding you toward a nearby town
  • A temporary sign marking a construction work zone
  • A regulatory sign that sets a legal rule you must obey

Why: Green rectangular signs with white lettering are Ontario's information and direction signs. They tell drivers about distances and destinations, while other colours are used for facility, service and attraction signs.

Question 5
You're a few car lengths from an intersection when the light turns yellow. What should you do?
  • Stop immediately, no matter how close you are to it
  • Speed up to clear the intersection before it turns red
  • Continue at your current speed since yellow equals green
  • Stop if safe; otherwise continue through with caution

Why: A yellow light means the red light is about to appear. You must stop if you can do so safely; if you cannot stop safely, proceed through with caution.

Question 6
At a signalized intersection, the pedestrian signal shows a white walking figure that can switch to an orange hand. What does each of these symbols mean?
  • The orange hand means pedestrians must cross quickly before it fades
  • White figure means pedestrians may cross; orange hand means stop
  • The white figure is only a warning; pedestrians must wait for a bell
  • Both symbols mean the same thing and just show the signal works

Why: Pedestrian signals help pedestrians cross at intersections with traffic lights. The white walking symbol means pedestrians may cross; a flashing or steady orange hand means they must not begin to cross.

FAQ

G1 test questions, answered

How many questions are on the real G1 test?

What score do I need to pass?

80% on each section — 16 out of 20 correct on both road signs and rules of the road. Passing one section but not the other means you don't pass.
