Traffic Rules and Road Signs

  • Warning signs are triangular with a red border; they warn of hazards ahead (e.g., curves, pedestrian crossings, wild animals).

  • Priority signs include 'Give Way' (inverted triangle) and 'Stop' (octagon); they determine right-of-way at intersections.

  • Prohibitory signs are circular with a red border; they impose restrictions such as speed limits, no entry, or no overtaking.

  • Mandatory signs are circular with a blue background; they indicate required actions (e.g., turn direction, minimum speed, cycle path).

  • Information signs are rectangular, often blue or green; they provide directions, distances, and facility locations.

  • A red traffic light means stop before the stop line or intersection; a flashing red light requires stopping and yielding.

  • A flashing yellow light warns of a hazard or that the signal is not functioning; proceed with caution and follow priority rules.

  • At a pedestrian crossing, drivers must yield to pedestrians on the crossing or about to enter it; overtaking is prohibited.

Road Markings and Signals

  • A continuous white line along the center means no crossing or overtaking; a broken white line permits crossing if safe.

  • Double continuous lines mean neither side may cross; a continuous line with a broken line means the broken side may cross if safe.

  • Yellow zigzag lines near schools or bus stops prohibit stopping or parking.

  • A stop line is a solid white line across the lane; vehicles must stop before it at a stop sign or red light.

  • Directional arrows on the road indicate permitted lane movements; drivers must follow the arrow for their lane.

  • A traffic controller's signals override traffic lights and road signs; a raised arm means stop for all directions.

  • A whistle blast with arm extended horizontally means stop for traffic approaching from the front; arm raised vertically means stop for all.

  • A yellow box junction prohibits entering unless the exit is clear, except when turning right and waiting for a gap.

Priority, Intersections, and Overtaking

  • At an uncontrolled intersection, yield to vehicles approaching from the right (right-hand priority rule).

  • When turning left, yield to oncoming traffic going straight or turning right; when turning right, yield to pedestrians crossing the road you enter.

  • At a roundabout, yield to traffic already on the roundabout unless signs indicate otherwise.

  • Overtaking is prohibited at pedestrian crossings, on bridges, in tunnels, at railway crossings, and where visibility is restricted.

  • Before overtaking, ensure the lane ahead is clear, no one is overtaking you, and you can complete the maneuver without impeding others.

  • A vehicle being overtaken must not increase speed; it should keep right and allow the overtaking vehicle to pass.

  • At intersections, do not enter if your exit is blocked, even if you have a green light; doing so can block cross traffic.

  • When two vehicles approach an obstacle on their side, the one with the obstacle yields to the one without.

Speed Limits and Safe Following Distance

  • In built-up areas (cities, towns, villages), the default speed limit is 60 km/h unless signs indicate otherwise.

  • Outside built-up areas, the default speed limit is 90 km/h; on motorways, it is 110 km/h unless posted otherwise.

  • The two-second rule: maintain at least a two-second gap behind the vehicle ahead in good conditions; double it in rain or at night.

  • In poor visibility (fog, heavy rain, snow), reduce speed and increase following distance; use fog lights only when visibility is seriously reduced.

  • Speed limits are absolute maximums; drivers must reduce speed according to traffic, road, and weather conditions.

  • Near schools, pedestrian crossings, and residential areas, drive at a speed that allows you to stop safely if a child steps out.

  • A safe following distance increases with speed; at 90 km/h, a two-second gap is about 50 meters.

  • When towing a trailer or driving a heavy vehicle, lower speed limits may apply; check signs and vehicle regulations.

Vehicle Technical Condition and Safety Equipment

  • Tires must have a tread depth of at least 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tread and around the entire circumference.

  • Tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold; incorrect pressure affects handling, fuel consumption, and tire wear.

  • All lights must be functional: headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights; replace faulty bulbs immediately.

  • The braking system must be in good working order; check brake fluid level and brake pads regularly.

  • A valid first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, warning triangle, and reflective vest are mandatory safety equipment in many jurisdictions.

  • The windshield and windows must be clean and free of obstructions; wipers and washers must work properly.

  • Seat belts are mandatory for all occupants; children must use appropriate child restraints until they reach the required age or height.

  • The exhaust system must not emit excessive smoke or noise; a faulty exhaust can increase emissions and violate noise regulations.

First Aid and Behaviour at Accident Scenes

  • At an accident scene, first ensure your own safety: park safely, turn on hazard lights, and put on a reflective vest before exiting.

  • Place a warning triangle at least 50 meters behind the accident on a straight road, or further if visibility is poor.

  • Call emergency services immediately; provide location, number of casualties, and types of injuries.

  • Do not move an injured person unless there is immediate danger (e.g., fire); moving them can worsen spinal injuries.

  • Check for responsiveness and breathing; if not breathing, start CPR if trained and continue until help arrives.

  • Control bleeding by applying direct pressure with a clean cloth or bandage; do not remove objects embedded in wounds.

  • Keep the injured person warm and comfortable; do not give food or drink, as this may complicate medical treatment.

  • Do not leave the scene until authorities arrive; exchange information with other involved parties if necessary.

Legal Liability, Documentation, and Administrative Rules

  • Drivers must carry a valid driving license, vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and identification at all times.

  • Driving without insurance is illegal and can result in fines, license suspension, or vehicle impoundment.

  • After an accident involving injury or significant damage, you must stop, provide assistance, and report to the police.

  • Traffic violations carry penalties including fines, points on the license, and possible suspension or revocation.

  • The legal blood alcohol limit for drivers is typically 0.05% (or lower for novice drivers); driving under the influence is strictly prohibited.

  • Using a handheld mobile phone while driving is illegal; use hands-free devices only if permitted.

  • Vehicle registration and insurance must be renewed annually; driving with expired documents is an offense.

  • In case of a breakdown, move the vehicle off the road if possible, use hazard lights, and place a warning triangle.

Safe Driving, Hazard Perception, and Eco-Driving

  • Scan the road ahead and check mirrors regularly; anticipate potential hazards such as pedestrians, animals, or vehicles entering the road.

  • Maintain a safe following distance and avoid distractions (e.g., mobile phones, eating) while driving.

  • Eco-driving techniques include smooth acceleration, maintaining steady speed, and avoiding sudden braking.

  • Use cruise control on highways to maintain constant speed and reduce fuel consumption.

  • Check tire pressure regularly; under-inflated tires increase fuel consumption and wear.

  • Avoid idling for long periods; turn off the engine if waiting for more than a minute (except in traffic).

  • Plan routes to avoid congested areas; combining errands reduces fuel use and emissions.

  • In adverse weather, reduce speed, use appropriate lights, and increase following distance to maintain control.
