In Qatar, road accidents kill approximately 200 people every year and injure or disable many others. In addition to 205 fatalities in 2010, road accidents resulted in 586 major injuries and 4,723 minor injuries in Qatar. Road accidents are responsible for approximately 18% of the total deaths in Qatar compared to approximately 2% in the United States. Young drivers are known to be a problem age group for road safety in several countries. The objective of this paper is to understand the young driver's knowledge of the traffic signs in Qatar and to determine the extent to which drivers are different in their knowledge when it comes to gender, age, and nationality. The results showed a high percentage of the young drivers were familiar with traffic signs. The results found no significant relationship between the success rate and the gender of the respondents, their nationality, and the driving experience at the 10% significance level. However, there was a strong relationship between the response and age of the respondents.
