The Permit Test
Keep Right (MUTCD R4-7 sign)

Keep Right

regulatory sign · rectangle v · white

Pass to the right of the divider, island, or obstruction ahead.

Visual breakdown
White rectangle with a black arrow curving down and to the right around a symbolic island.
Shape recognition
Vertical rectangle = regulatory; the bending arrow shows the required path.
Color recognition
Black on white = mandatory movement, not a suggestion.
Memory trick
The arrow draws your steering line — trace the arrow with your wheels.
Real-world example
Posted at the nose of a median or traffic island; drifting left of it puts you into oncoming lanes.
Common mistakes
Late recognition at night leading to straddling the island nose — watch for the object-marker chevrons below it.
Quick recall method
Bent arrow = your side is the right side.
