Question 1Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a red octagonal sign always mean?

  1. Reduce speed only
  2. Give way to traffic
  3. No entry for vehicles
  4. Come to a complete stop Correct answer.

Explanation

The octagon is reserved exclusively for STOP signs, so its shape alone tells you a full stop is required. You must halt, check for traffic and pedestrians, and proceed only when it is safe.

Question 2Road signs, signals and road markings

A triangular road sign with a red border is used to do what?

  1. Provide route directions
  2. Give orders that must be obeyed
  3. Warn of a hazard ahead Correct answer.
  4. Mark a parking zone

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs and alert you to a hazard such as a bend, junction or crossing ahead. They tell you to prepare to adjust speed or position.

Question 3Road signs, signals and road markings

A circular sign with a red border and a white background generally does what?

  1. Imposes a prohibition or restriction Correct answer.
  2. Marks a pedestrian crossing
  3. Gives information about services
  4. Warns of a hazard ahead

Explanation

Circular signs with a red border give orders, usually prohibiting something such as a speed, a turn or entry. The symbol inside shows exactly what is prohibited or restricted.

Question 4Road signs, signals and road markings

A broken white line along the centre of the road means what?

  1. The road has two lanes in one direction
  2. You must keep to the left of it always
  3. Overtaking is permitted when it is safe Correct answer.
  4. Overtaking is forbidden at all times

Explanation

A broken centre line separates opposing streams of traffic and may be crossed to overtake or turn when it is safe. You must still judge sight lines and oncoming traffic before crossing.

Question 5Road signs, signals and road markings

What must you do when you see a GIVE WAY sign at a junction?

  1. Sound your horn before proceeding
  2. Slow down and be ready to stop for traffic on the main road Correct answer.
  3. Proceed without checking if the road looks clear
  4. Stop completely before entering

Explanation

A GIVE WAY sign requires you to let traffic on the priority road pass before you enter or cross it. You need not stop if the road is genuinely clear, but you must be prepared to stop.

Question 6Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign showing a white bicycle on a blue circular background means what?

  1. Cyclists must dismount here
  2. A route or lane is designated for cyclists Correct answer.
  3. Cyclists are prohibited
  4. Cyclists must give way to pedestrians

Explanation

Blue circular signs give positive instructions, and a bicycle symbol marks a route or lane intended for cyclists. Drivers should expect cyclists there and must not obstruct them.

Question 7Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a continuous double white line along the centre of the road mean for your side?

  1. You may cross to overtake if the road is clear
  2. You must not cross or straddle the lines Correct answer.
  3. You may park on the line briefly
  4. You must drive between the two lines

Explanation

Where the double line nearest you is continuous, you must not cross or straddle it, which bars overtaking. The restriction protects you where visibility is too short for a safe manoeuvre.

Question 8Road signs, signals and road markings

A yellow box junction with criss-cross markings should be treated how?

  1. You must always stop inside it before proceeding
  2. You may enter only if your exit is clear, apart from turning right Correct answer.
  3. You may wait in it while the lights are red
  4. You may use it as a waiting area at busy times

Explanation

A box junction keeps a crossing clear; you enter only when you can clear it without stopping. The usual exception is when you are waiting to turn right and are blocked only by oncoming traffic.

Question 9Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a flashing amber light at a pelican-style crossing require of drivers?

  1. Treat it exactly like a red light
  2. Sound the horn to warn pedestrians
  3. Stop and wait for the light to turn green
  4. Proceed only if the crossing is clear of pedestrians Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing amber signal means pedestrians have priority but you may proceed if the crossing is clear. You must still give way to anyone still on the crossing.

Question 10Road signs, signals and road markings

A red traffic light with a green arrow pointing left means what?

  1. You must wait until the full green shows
  2. You may turn left if the way is clear Correct answer.
  3. The left turn is closed to all traffic
  4. You may go straight on only

Explanation

A green arrow permits movement in the direction it points, provided the way is safe. Other movements remain controlled by the main red light.

Question 11Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the meaning of a sign showing a red circle with a white horizontal bar?

  1. No stopping
  2. Road closed to heavy vehicles
  3. No parking
  4. No entry Correct answer.

Explanation

The red circle with a white bar is the no entry sign, telling drivers they must not pass it. It is often placed at the exit of a one-way street or a restricted access point.

Question 12Road signs, signals and road markings

A road marking of a single continuous yellow line along the edge of the carriageway indicates what?

  1. The road is a bus lane
  2. Parking is allowed at any time
  3. Overtaking is prohibited
  4. Waiting is restricted during times shown on nearby plates Correct answer.

Explanation

A continuous yellow line at the kerb restricts waiting, and nearby plates state the hours that apply. Where no plate is present, the restriction applies at all times.

Question 13Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a sign with a red triangle containing a picture of children tell you?

  1. A pedestrian zone begins here
  2. A bus stop serves a school
  3. A school or playground is nearby, so children may be crossing Correct answer.
  4. Children are prohibited from the road

Explanation

The children symbol is a warning sign for a school or area where children are likely to be in the road. Slow down and be ready to stop suddenly.

Question 14Road signs, signals and road markings

A blue rectangular sign with a white P and a time plate beneath it means what?

  1. Parking is prohibited at all times
  2. A police station is ahead
  3. Parking is permitted subject to the conditions shown Correct answer.
  4. Only permit holders may pass

Explanation

The P sign marks a place where parking is allowed, and the plate beneath sets the hours, duration or charges. Read the plate before leaving the vehicle.

Question 15Road signs, signals and road markings

You approach a junction where a traffic light is out of order and no officer is present. What should you do?

  1. Wait until the lights are repaired
  2. Treat the junction with great care, giving way as the signs and markings require Correct answer.
  3. Proceed at normal speed as you have priority
  4. Drive around the junction using the pavement

Explanation

When signals fail, the normal sign and road-marking rules apply and you must approach with extra caution. Be prepared to give way and to stop for other traffic and pedestrians.

Question 16Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a sign showing a red circle with the number 50 inside mean?

  1. The minimum speed is 50
  2. Advisory speed on a bend is 50
  3. Speed limits apply only to lorries
  4. The maximum speed is 50 Correct answer.

Explanation

A number inside a red-bordered circle gives the maximum legal speed for that road. You may drive more slowly if conditions require it.

Question 17Road signs, signals and road markings

A white arrow painted on the road pointing straight ahead in your lane means what?

  1. You must turn right at the next junction
  2. You may change lanes freely
  3. You should follow the direction shown by the arrow Correct answer.
  4. The lane is for oncoming traffic

Explanation

Lane arrows tell drivers the direction of travel for that lane. Follow the arrow and choose the correct lane early rather than cutting across at the junction.

Question 18Road signs, signals and road markings

What is indicated by a sign showing a red circle with a picture of a car and a motorcycle side by side?

  1. Motorcycles may use the bus lane
  2. A car park is ahead
  3. Cars must give way to motorcycles
  4. Motor vehicles are prohibited Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered circle containing vehicle symbols prohibits those vehicles from proceeding past the sign. The restriction may apply to all motor vehicles or to the types shown.

Question 19Road signs, signals and road markings

You see a stop line painted across your lane together with a STOP sign. Where must you stop?

  1. After the junction if traffic is light
  2. At the stop line, or at the junction edge if the line is worn away Correct answer.
  3. At the signpost, wherever it stands
  4. Anywhere with a clear view of the junction

Explanation

You must stop at the stop line so that you do not encroach on the priority road. If the line is missing or worn, stop where you can see clearly without entering the junction.

Question 20Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a flashing red light at a level crossing mean?

  1. Proceed with caution if no train is visible
  2. Stop and remain stopped until the light stops flashing Correct answer.
  3. Sound your horn and cross quickly
  4. The crossing is out of order

Explanation

A flashing red light at a level crossing is an absolute stop signal. You must remain stopped until the lights stop flashing and the barriers are fully raised.

Question 21Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign with a red triangle showing a car skidding means what?

  1. Steep hill downwards
  2. Slippery road ahead Correct answer.
  3. Loose chippings
  4. Uneven road surface

Explanation

The skidding car symbol warns of a slippery road surface ahead. Reduce speed smoothly and avoid harsh braking or steering on the affected stretch.

Question 22Road signs, signals and road markings

What do zig-zag lines painted along the approach to a pedestrian crossing mean?

  1. You must drive on the zig-zag line
  2. You may park briefly to drop off passengers
  3. Cyclists have priority over cars here
  4. You must not park or overtake within the marked area Correct answer.

Explanation

Zig-zag markings keep the approach to a crossing clear of parked and overtaking vehicles so pedestrians can be seen. Stopping to set down passengers within them is not allowed.

Question 23Road signs, signals and road markings

A green light showing at a junction means what?

  1. You may proceed if the way ahead is clear Correct answer.
  2. You may turn only to the left
  3. You have absolute right of way over pedestrians
  4. You must stop if a vehicle is waiting behind

Explanation

A green light permits you to go, but only if you can clear the junction and the way is safe. You must still give way to pedestrians already crossing.

Question 24Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the purpose of a hatched area bounded by solid white lines in the centre of the road?

  1. It is a lane reserved for overtaking
  2. It marks a bus stop
  3. It separates traffic and should not be entered except in an emergency Correct answer.
  4. It is a parking bay for delivery vehicles

Explanation

Hatched areas separate opposing traffic or protect turning vehicles, and when bordered by solid lines they must not be entered except in an emergency. They are not driving or parking space.

Question 25Road signs, signals and road markings

A blue circular sign showing a white arrow curving to the right tells you what?

  1. You must turn right ahead Correct answer.
  2. Right turns are prohibited
  3. A right bend is dangerous
  4. You may turn right only during daylight

Explanation

Blue circular signs give mandatory instructions, so the arrow means you must follow the direction shown. Such signs are often placed on traffic islands to direct traffic around them.

Question 26Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign shows a red triangle with a picture of a hump-backed bridge inside it. What does this warn you to expect?

  1. A slippery road ahead
  2. A steep upward slope ahead
  3. A narrow road ahead
  4. A hump bridge ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

Red triangular signs are warning signs, and the symbol inside shows the specific hazard. The hump-backed bridge symbol warns of a short, steep rise that limits forward visibility, so you should slow down and be ready for oncoming traffic.

Question 27Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a blue circular sign showing a white pedestrian symbol mean?

  1. Pedestrians are prohibited from this route
  2. A pedestrian crossing is ahead
  3. Pedestrians must use this route only Correct answer.
  4. Pedestrians may not walk on the road

Explanation

Blue circular signs give mandatory instructions, and a white symbol on blue tells you what must be done or who the route is for. A white pedestrian on blue means the route is a compulsory footpath for pedestrians.

Question 28Road signs, signals and road markings

You are driving and see a broken white line along the centre of the road. What does it mean?

  1. You must stay in the left lane at all times
  2. The road has two lanes in your direction
  3. You must never cross it
  4. You may cross it to overtake when it is safe Correct answer.

Explanation

Broken white centre lines separate traffic and may be crossed when it is safe and legal to do so, for example to overtake or turn. They do not create a permanent barrier.

Question 29Road signs, signals and road markings

A traffic light shows a red light together with a green arrow pointing straight ahead. What should you do?

  1. Proceed straight ahead if the way is clear Correct answer.
  2. Wait until the full green light appears
  3. Stop and wait for a green arrow to the left
  4. Turn left only

Explanation

A green arrow permits movement in the direction the arrow points even while other lights are red, provided the way is clear. Traffic going straight may proceed while other movements remain stopped.

Question 30Road signs, signals and road markings

You approach a pedestrian crossing where the amber light is flashing and a pedestrian is still on the crossing. What must you do?

  1. Stop and give way to the pedestrian Correct answer.
  2. Sound your horn to hurry the pedestrian
  3. Drive around the pedestrian carefully
  4. Proceed because flashing amber gives you priority

Explanation

At a pelican-style crossing, flashing amber means you must give way to pedestrians still on the crossing. You may only proceed once the crossing is clear.

Question 31Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a circular sign with a red border and a black diagonal line through a blue background indicate?

  1. Parking is permitted
  2. End of a restriction or zone Correct answer.
  3. A one-way street begins
  4. No entry for any vehicle

Explanation

A blue circle with a red border and a single diagonal line marks the end of a restriction or zone that was previously indicated. It cancels the earlier instruction rather than imposing a new one.

Question 32Road signs, signals and road markings

You are waiting at a junction and the traffic lights change to green, but the junction ahead is blocked by queued traffic. What should you do?

  1. Move forward into the junction to hold your place
  2. Sound your horn until the traffic moves
  3. Move forward only when you can clear the junction Correct answer.
  4. Reverse away from the junction

Explanation

A green light permits you to proceed only if you can clear the junction; entering a blocked junction obstructs cross traffic and can be an offence. Wait behind the stop line until there is space on the far side.

Question 33Road signs, signals and road markings

A single broken yellow line is painted along the edge of the carriageway. What does it indicate?

  1. The edge of a parking bay for goods vehicles
  2. A cycle lane boundary
  3. A waiting restriction applies at certain times Correct answer.
  4. No stopping at any time

Explanation

A broken yellow line along the kerb indicates that waiting restrictions apply, usually during the times shown on nearby plates. A continuous yellow line indicates a restriction that applies at all times.

Question 34Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a red triangle sign showing a picture of a traffic light mean?

  1. A junction where you have priority
  2. A pedestrian crossing with no lights
  3. Traffic lights ahead that may be hidden from view Correct answer.
  4. Traffic lights that are permanently out of order

Explanation

The red triangle warns of a hazard ahead, and the traffic light symbol warns that signals are ahead, often where they may not be easily seen. Be prepared to stop if the lights are against you.

Question 35Road signs, signals and road markings

You see a sign with a red circle containing a white arrow pointing left and a smaller black arrow pointing right beneath it. What does this mean?

  1. Give way to oncoming traffic before turning left Correct answer.
  2. Turn right only
  3. Turn left only; no right turn
  4. Turn left ahead of the black arrow

Explanation

A red circle sign with a white arrow and a smaller black arrow indicates a mandatory direction with a priority rule. The white arrow shows the permitted direction, and the black arrow shows that oncoming traffic has priority, so you must give way before turning.

Question 36Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the meaning of a white diagonal stripe area bounded by continuous white lines in the middle of the road?

  1. A cycle crossing point
  2. A hatched area you should not enter except in an emergency Correct answer.
  3. A lane for overtaking
  4. A parking area for any vehicle

Explanation

Hatched areas bounded by continuous white lines separate traffic streams and should not be entered except in an emergency. They are not driving lanes or parking areas.

Question 37Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign shows a red circle with a white lorry symbol inside it. What does this mean?

  1. A lorry route ends ahead
  2. No goods vehicles over the weight shown are allowed Correct answer.
  3. Lorries may park here
  4. Lorries must use this route

Explanation

A red circle sign gives a prohibition, and the symbol inside shows what is prohibited. A lorry symbol in a red circle prohibits goods vehicles, usually above a weight shown on the sign.

Question 38Road signs, signals and road markings

You are driving at night and approach a junction controlled by traffic lights. The lights are working but the junction is poorly lit. What is the safest action?

  1. Rely on the light colour alone and keep your speed
  2. Flash your headlights to warn other drivers
  3. Slow down and be ready to stop in case the lights change Correct answer.
  4. Switch off your headlights to avoid glare

Explanation

Traffic signals can change as you approach, and poor lighting reduces your ability to see the road and other users. Reducing speed gives you time to react and stop safely if the signal changes.

Question 39Road signs, signals and road markings

A road marking shows a large white triangle painted on the approach to a junction, with its point towards you. What does this indicate?

  1. The road narrows ahead
  2. You must give way to traffic on the major road Correct answer.
  3. You must stop completely before proceeding
  4. You have priority over traffic from the right

Explanation

A white triangle painted on the road warns that you are approaching a give-way line at a junction. You must be prepared to give way to traffic on the major road before entering or crossing it.

Question 40Road signs, signals and road markings

You are approaching a junction where a traffic officer is directing traffic with hand signals while the lights show green. What should you do?

  1. Proceed only if other drivers move first
  2. Wait until the officer leaves
  3. Obey the officer's signals Correct answer.
  4. Follow the traffic lights because they are automatic

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer or authorised traffic officer take priority over traffic lights and signs. You must follow the officer's signals even if the lights show a different instruction.

Question 41Rules of the road and right-of-way

At an unmarked crossroads with no signs or road markings, which vehicle should be given way to?

  1. The vehicle approaching from your left
  2. The vehicle approaching from your right Correct answer.
  3. The vehicle travelling fastest
  4. The larger of the two vehicles

Explanation

Where no signs or markings give priority, the general rule is to give way to traffic approaching from your right at the junction. This prevents vehicles arriving together from both proceeding at once. You should slow down and be ready to stop.

Question 42Rules of the road and right-of-way

You are approaching a pedestrian crossing and someone has stepped onto it. What must you do?

  1. Sound your horn so they hurry across
  2. Drive around behind the pedestrian
  3. Stop and let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  4. Continue if you can pass before they reach your lane

Explanation

Once a pedestrian has begun to cross on a marked crossing, you must stop and allow them to finish crossing safely. You should not try to pass them or pressure them. Stopping well before the crossing keeps them visible and safe.

Question 43Rules of the road and right-of-way

A solid white line runs along the centre of the road on your side. What does this mean?

  1. It marks the edge of the carriageway
  2. You may cross it to turn into a side road only
  3. Overtaking is permitted if the road ahead is clear
  4. You must not cross or straddle the line Correct answer.

Explanation

A continuous line on your side of the centre means you must not cross or straddle it, so overtaking that requires crossing it is prohibited. It is normally used where visibility is restricted. You should stay on your side until the line becomes broken.

Question 44Rules of the road and right-of-way

When are you permitted to use a mobile phone held in your hand while driving?

  1. When making a short call
  2. When driving slowly in a queue
  3. When waiting at traffic lights
  4. Never, except to call the emergency services when it is unsafe to stop Correct answer.

Explanation

Using a hand-held phone while driving is not allowed, including while stationary in traffic. The only recognised exception is dialling emergency services when it is genuinely impracticable or unsafe to stop. Even then, pull over as soon as you safely can.

Question 45Rules of the road and right-of-way

What is the national speed limit on most roads outside built-up areas in Antigua and Barbuda?

  1. 50 mph
  2. 40 mph Correct answer.
  3. 60 mph
  4. 30 mph

Explanation

The general speed limit outside built-up areas is 40 mph unless signs show a lower limit. In built-up areas and near schools the limit is lower. Always drive to the conditions even when below the limit.

Question 46Rules of the road and right-of-way

What does a flashing amber light at a pelican-style crossing mean for drivers?

  1. Stop and wait for the light to turn green
  2. The crossing is out of order
  3. Pedestrians must not start to cross
  4. Proceed only if the crossing is clear of pedestrians Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing amber signal means you must give way to any pedestrian still on the crossing, but you may proceed if it is clear. It follows the red phase and warns that pedestrians may still be finishing. Never move off while someone is still crossing.

Question 47Rules of the road and right-of-way

You are turning left into a side road. Who has priority?

  1. You, because you are already on the main road
  2. Pedestrians already crossing the side road you are entering Correct answer.
  3. Vehicles behind you
  4. Nobody; vehicles and pedestrians must negotiate

Explanation

When turning into a side road, you must give way to pedestrians who are already crossing that road. They have committed to crossing and you are the one changing direction. Check your mirror and blind spot before turning.

Question 48Rules of the road and right-of-way

Where should you position your vehicle before turning right at a junction?

  1. Close to the left kerb
  2. In the centre of the road or just left of the centre line Correct answer.
  3. On the right-hand pavement
  4. In the middle of the left-hand lane

Explanation

For a right turn you should move towards the centre of the road, keeping just left of any centre line, so following traffic can pass on your left. Check mirrors and signal in good time. Do not swing wide into oncoming traffic.

Question 49Rules of the road and right-of-way

You are driving and an emergency vehicle approaches from behind with sirens and flashing lights. What should you do?

  1. Ignore it until it is directly behind you
  2. Speed up to stay ahead of it
  3. Pull over safely and let it pass when it is safe to do so Correct answer.
  4. Brake sharply and stop where you are

Explanation

Make room for emergency vehicles by pulling over safely as soon as you can, without breaking the law or endangering others. Do not stop suddenly in a dangerous position. Stay alert for other emergency vehicles following.

Question 50Rules of the road and right-of-way

At a roundabout, who has priority?

  1. Vehicles already on the roundabout Correct answer.
  2. The largest vehicle
  3. Vehicles approaching from the left
  4. Vehicles entering the roundabout

Explanation

Traffic already circulating on the roundabout has priority over vehicles waiting to enter. You should give way to traffic coming from your right around the circle. Only enter when there is a safe gap.
