Maharashtra RTO Learner's Licence (LLR) Test Study Guide

Road signs across Maharashtra are installed in a bilingual format, with the place name in Marathi script shown alongside English. The sign symbols themselves follow the national IRC 67 code, so a red octagon is a Stop sign and a red circle is a mandatory restriction regardless of the script on the panel. Marathi is the state's official language, which is why the script on a place name reflects the state while the symbol stays nationally standard.[3][4]

You apply for the Maharashtra LLR online through the Parivahan Sarathi portal of the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Department. Aadhaar-based identity verification, fee payment, slot booking, and the test itself can be completed end to end online, with the test mapped to your local RTO office.[3]

• Stop - red octagon, the only octagonal sign. Come to a complete stop at the line and proceed only when the way is clear.
• Give Way - inverted red triangle. Yield to other traffic before proceeding.
• No Entry - solid red circle. All vehicles prohibited from entering.
• Red circle with white background - a prohibition or mandatory restriction such as No Overtaking or a speed limit.

1. At an uncontrolled intersection, give way to traffic approaching from the right.
2. At a T-intersection, vehicles on the terminating road give way to vehicles on the through road.
3. Pedestrians on a zebra crossing have the right of way. Drivers must stop and allow them to cross.
4. For an approaching emergency vehicle, pull over to the left and let it pass on the right, since India drives on the left. Obstructing it is an offence under Section 194E of the MV Act.

• Overtake from the right side. Overtaking from the left is allowed only when the vehicle ahead is signalling a right turn.
• Never overtake near a hill, blind curve, or unmarked intersection, or where a continuous centre line is marked.

• BAC limit is 30 mg per 100 ml of blood (0.03%), set by Section 185 of the MV Act 1988 and enforced by Maharashtra police checks.
• Using a hand-held mobile phone while driving is prohibited under Section 184 of the MV Act and CMVR Rule 21. Hands-free use is allowed but must not distract the driver.
• Helmets are compulsory for the rider and pillion of a two-wheeler. Seatbelts are compulsory for front-seat occupants of a car.
• A Learner's Licence holder must be accompanied by a person holding a valid full licence for the same vehicle class, and the vehicle must display 'L' boards front and rear.

Documents you must be able to present while driving are the licence (Learner's Licence during the learner period, or full Driving Licence), the vehicle Registration Certificate (RC), a valid insurance certificate covering at least third-party liability, and a current Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate. Documents stored in DigiLocker are accepted across India.
