Question 1Traffic rules and road signs

What does a circular road sign with a red border and a white background generally indicate?

  1. A mandatory instruction
  2. A warning of danger ahead
  3. Information about a service
  4. A prohibition or restriction Correct answer.

Explanation

In the Vienna Convention system used in Armenia, circular signs with a red rim convey prohibitions or restrictions, such as speed limits or no-entry rules. Warning signs are triangular, mandatory signs are blue circles, and information signs are usually rectangular.

Question 2Traffic rules and road signs

A triangular sign with a red border showing a black symbol is used to:

  1. Warn of a hazard ahead Correct answer.
  2. Show a parking zone
  3. Mark the start of a motorway
  4. Give an order that must be obeyed

Explanation

Triangular signs with red borders are warning signs; they alert drivers to hazards such as bends, junctions, or pedestrians ahead. Orders are given by circular signs, and motorway or parking information uses different shapes and colours.

Question 3Traffic rules and road signs

What is the meaning of a solid continuous white line along the centre of the road?

  1. Overtaking is permitted if the road is clear
  2. Crossing or straddling it is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. You may cross it to enter a side road
  4. It marks a bus lane only

Explanation

A continuous centre line forbids crossing or straddling it, so overtaking manoeuvres that require crossing the line are not allowed. A broken line, by contrast, may be crossed when it is safe.

Question 4Traffic rules and road signs

At an intersection with no signs and no traffic lights, which vehicle generally has the right of way?

  1. The vehicle approaching from the left
  2. The faster vehicle
  3. The larger vehicle
  4. The vehicle approaching from the right Correct answer.

Explanation

Where priorities are not indicated by signs or signals, the general rule is to yield to traffic approaching from the right. Vehicle size or speed does not create a priority.

Question 5Traffic rules and road signs

What does a flashing red traffic light mean?

  1. Prepare to stop only if a pedestrian is present
  2. Proceed without stopping
  3. Stop, then proceed when it is safe Correct answer.
  4. The signals are out of order and normal priority rules apply

Explanation

A flashing red light functions like a stop sign: you must come to a full stop and then proceed only when it is safe. It is not the same as a signal failure, where no light is showing.

Question 6Traffic rules and road signs

In built-up areas in Armenia, what is the general maximum speed limit unless signs indicate otherwise?

  1. 70 km/h
  2. 50 km/h
  3. 40 km/h
  4. 60 km/h Correct answer.

Explanation

The default maximum speed in built-up areas is 60 km/h unless a sign sets a different limit. Limits outside built-up areas are higher, and lower limits may be posted near schools or hazards.

Question 7Traffic rules and road signs

When are you required to use your vehicle's headlights during the day?

  1. Whenever visibility is reduced, such as in fog or heavy rain Correct answer.
  2. Only on motorways
  3. Only when it is raining heavily
  4. Never, since daytime running lights are sufficient in all conditions

Explanation

Headlights must be used whenever visibility is significantly reduced by weather such as fog, heavy rain, or falling snow. Daytime running lights alone are not adequate in these conditions.

Question 8Traffic rules and road signs

What does a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a white border indicate?

  1. A pedestrian crossing
  2. A compulsory stop
  3. A no-parking zone
  4. A priority road Correct answer.

Explanation

The yellow diamond indicates a priority road, meaning traffic on that road has right of way at intersections until the priority is cancelled by another sign. It does not itself impose any stopping obligation.

Question 9Traffic rules and road signs

You are driving and see a pedestrian stepping onto a marked zebra crossing ahead. What must you do?

  1. Sound your horn and continue
  2. Continue if you can pass before they reach your lane
  3. Slow down and pass behind the pedestrian
  4. Stop and give way to the pedestrian Correct answer.

Explanation

Drivers must give way to pedestrians on or entering a marked crossing, slowing or stopping as needed. Passing behind a pedestrian on the crossing is not permitted because the crossing must be kept clear.

Question 10Traffic rules and road signs

A traffic officer is directing traffic at an intersection while the traffic lights show green for your direction. The officer signals you to stop. What should you do?

  1. Follow the green light and continue
  2. Stop, because the officer's instructions override the signals Correct answer.
  3. Proceed slowly while watching the officer
  4. Wait for the light to change to red before stopping

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer or authorised traffic controller take precedence over traffic lights and road signs. You must obey the officer's signal even if the light shows green.

Question 11Traffic rules and road signs

You intend to turn left at an intersection. Where should you position your vehicle before turning?

  1. Anywhere in the lane, since position does not matter for turns
  2. On the left pavement if space allows
  3. In the centre or left part of your lane, without crossing into oncoming traffic Correct answer.
  4. Close to the right edge of the road

Explanation

Before a left turn you should move toward the centre or left side of your lane so that you do not swing wide into oncoming traffic. You must not cross into the opposing lane until it is safe to complete the turn.

Question 12Traffic rules and road signs

What is the correct action when you approach a roundabout marked with a 'give way' sign at the entry?

  1. Sound your horn before entering
  2. Yield to traffic already circulating in the roundabout Correct answer.
  3. Stop completely and wait for a gap even if none is needed
  4. Enter without slowing, since you are on the main road

Explanation

At a roundabout with give-way markings, entering traffic must yield to vehicles already on the circulatory carriageway. A full stop is only needed if traffic requires it.

Question 13Traffic rules and road signs

When may you use the horn in a built-up area?

  1. To express annoyance at slow traffic
  2. To greet other drivers you recognise
  3. Whenever you are about to overtake
  4. To warn of immediate danger Correct answer.

Explanation

The horn is a warning device to be used to alert others to an immediate danger, not for social or expressive purposes. In built-up areas its use is otherwise restricted to avoid noise nuisance.

Question 14Traffic rules and road signs

You are driving behind a tram that has stopped at a stop without a raised boarding island. What must you do?

  1. Stop and allow passengers to board or alight safely Correct answer.
  2. Pass the tram on the right only if passengers are not boarding
  3. Overtake the tram on the left immediately
  4. Sound the horn to warn passengers

Explanation

When a tram stops for passengers and there is no boarding island, you must stop to let passengers board or alight safely. Proceeding could endanger people crossing to or from the tram.

Question 15Traffic rules and road signs

How should you adjust your speed when driving in heavy rain on a wet road?

  1. Increase speed to get through the rain faster
  2. Keep speed but follow the vehicle ahead more closely
  3. Maintain the posted limit, since the limit always applies
  4. Reduce speed to allow for longer braking distances and reduced grip Correct answer.

Explanation

Wet roads reduce tyre grip and increase stopping distances, so you should reduce speed and increase the gap to the vehicle ahead. The posted limit is a maximum for good conditions, not a target for poor ones.

Question 16Traffic rules and road signs

What does a blue circular sign showing a white bicycle indicate?

  1. A warning of cyclists crossing
  2. A parking area for bicycles
  3. Cyclists are prohibited
  4. A compulsory route for cyclists Correct answer.

Explanation

Blue circular signs are mandatory signs; with a bicycle symbol they mark a route that cyclists must use. Prohibition signs would instead have a red border.

Question 17Traffic rules and road signs

You are on a two-lane road and want to overtake a slow vehicle ahead. Which condition must be met before you begin?

  1. You must be able to see far enough ahead and complete the manoeuvre without endangering others Correct answer.
  2. The vehicle ahead must signal you to pass
  3. You must sound the horn continuously during the manoeuvre
  4. You must exceed the speed limit to pass quickly

Explanation

Overtaking is only permitted when you have sufficient forward visibility and clear space to complete the manoeuvre safely without affecting other road users. Exceeding the speed limit or relying on another driver's signal is not acceptable.

Question 18Traffic rules and road signs

At a level crossing with a red flashing light and a lowered barrier, what must you do?

  1. Proceed if you cannot see a train
  2. Drive around the barrier if it is only partly lowered
  3. Stop and wait until the barrier is fully raised and the lights stop flashing Correct answer.
  4. Stop only if a train is visible

Explanation

A lowered barrier and flashing red lights mean a train is approaching; you must stop and remain stopped until the barrier is fully raised and the signals stop. Never attempt to pass a barrier.

Question 19Traffic rules and road signs

A road sign shows a red circle with a white horizontal bar on a blue background. What does it mean?

  1. End of a restriction
  2. No stopping
  3. Compulsory direction ahead
  4. No entry for all vehicles Correct answer.

Explanation

The no-entry sign is a red circle with a white horizontal bar, meaning vehicles must not enter that road. It is often placed at the exit of one-way streets.

Question 20Traffic rules and road signs

When approaching a junction where you intend to turn right, what should you do about pedestrians crossing the road you are entering?

  1. Sound the horn so they hurry
  2. Turn quickly before they reach your path
  3. You have priority because you are turning
  4. Give way to pedestrians already crossing or about to cross Correct answer.

Explanation

When turning into a road, you must give way to pedestrians who are crossing or waiting to cross that road. Turning vehicles do not gain priority over pedestrians.

Question 21Traffic rules and road signs

What is the purpose of a broken white line separating lanes on a multi-lane road?

  1. It permits lane changes when safe Correct answer.
  2. It reserves the lane for buses
  3. It forbids any lane change
  4. It marks the edge of the carriageway

Explanation

Broken white lines between lanes indicate that you may change lanes when it is safe to do so. Continuous lines, by contrast, prohibit crossing.

Question 22Traffic rules and road signs

You are towing a trailer on a road and a queue of faster vehicles forms behind you. What is the appropriate action?

  1. Speed up beyond the limit to keep up with traffic
  2. Wave the vehicles past on a blind bend
  3. Maintain your legal speed and pull over where safe to let the queue pass Correct answer.
  4. Ignore the queue, since slower vehicles have priority

Explanation

Slow-moving vehicles should keep to their legal speed and, where it is safe and permitted, allow following traffic to pass. You must never exceed the limit or wave vehicles past where visibility is poor.

Question 23Traffic rules and road signs

You are approaching an intersection where the traffic light has failed and no officer is present. Two vehicles arrive at the same time from perpendicular directions. How should priority be decided?

  1. The vehicle on the wider road has priority
  2. The vehicle approaching from the right has priority Correct answer.
  3. The first vehicle to sound its horn has priority
  4. The vehicle travelling straight has priority over all turning vehicles

Explanation

When signals fail and no controller is present, the general right-hand rule applies: yield to traffic approaching from the right. Road width, horn use, and travel direction do not replace this rule.

Question 24Traffic rules and road signs

You are driving on a road with a continuous line on your side and a broken line on the opposite side. What does this combination mean?

  1. Overtaking is prohibited for all traffic
  2. The line only marks the edge of the carriageway
  3. Overtaking is permitted only for traffic on the side with the broken line Correct answer.
  4. Overtaking is permitted for traffic on both sides

Explanation

Where a continuous and a broken line run together, the line nearest your vehicle governs. Traffic on the side with the broken line may cross when safe; traffic on the side with the continuous line may not.

Question 25Traffic rules and road signs

You are at a junction with a 'give way' sign and see a vehicle approaching from the left on the priority road. What is the correct action?

  1. Proceed slowly and force the other vehicle to brake
  2. Wait until the priority-road vehicle has passed and the way is clear Correct answer.
  3. Sound your horn and continue
  4. Proceed, because vehicles on your right have priority

Explanation

A give-way sign requires you to yield to traffic on the priority road, which may approach from either direction. You must wait until it is safe to enter without causing other vehicles to change speed or direction.

Question 26Traffic rules and road signs

What does a circular sign with a red border and a white center generally indicate?

  1. A warning of a hazard ahead
  2. A mandatory instruction
  3. A direction to a facility
  4. A prohibition or restriction Correct answer.

Explanation

Circular signs with a red border are prohibitory signs; they indicate that a certain action is forbidden or restricted. The white center often contains a symbol specifying the prohibition.

Question 27Traffic rules and road signs

What does a triangular sign with a red border and a symbol inside mean?

  1. A mandatory direction to follow
  2. Information about a service
  3. A prohibition that must be obeyed

What does a blue circular sign with a white arrow pointing straight ahead mean?

  1. You may turn left or right
  2. You must proceed straight ahead only Correct answer.
  3. You must stop and give way
  4. You are approaching a one-way street

Explanation

Blue circular signs give mandatory instructions. A white arrow pointing straight ahead means that traffic must continue straight and must not turn left or right.

Question 29Traffic rules and road signs

What does a sign showing a red circle with a red diagonal line through a black symbol mean?

  1. The action shown by the symbol is mandatory
  2. The action shown by the symbol is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. The action shown by the symbol is permitted only at certain times
  4. The action shown by the symbol is recommended

Question 30Traffic rules and road signs

What does a continuous white line along the center of the road mean?

  1. It marks the edge of the carriageway
  2. You may cross it to enter a property
  3. You may cross it to overtake if the road is clear
  4. You must not cross or straddle it Correct answer.

Explanation

A continuous white line is a restriction line; you must not cross or straddle it except in limited circumstances such as passing a stationary vehicle or entering a property where permitted. It is used where overtaking would be dangerous.

Question 31Traffic rules and road signs

What does a broken white line along the center of the road mean?

  1. You may cross it to overtake when it is safe Correct answer.
  2. You must not cross it under any circumstances
  3. It marks a bus lane
  4. It indicates a pedestrian crossing

Explanation

A flashing red light at a level crossing requires you to stop immediately and wait. You must not proceed until the light stops flashing and any barriers are fully raised.

Question 33Traffic rules and road signs

What is the purpose of a yellow box junction marked with criss-cross lines?

  1. To mark a designated parking zone
  2. To indicate a pedestrian crossing area
  3. To keep the junction clear of stationary traffic Correct answer.
  4. To show a bus stop area

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to prevent gridlock. You must not enter the box unless your exit is clear, except when turning right and waiting for oncoming traffic.

Question 34Traffic rules and road signs

You are approaching a pedestrian crossing where a pedestrian is waiting on the pavement. What should you do?

  1. Continue at the same speed because the pedestrian is not yet on the crossing
  2. Slow down and be prepared to stop to let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  3. Sound your horn to warn the pedestrian
  4. Flash your headlights to tell the pedestrian to wait

Explanation

You should always be prepared to stop for pedestrians at a crossing. Even if they are not yet on the crossing, you should slow down and give way if they are waiting to cross.

Question 35Traffic rules and road signs

You are driving on a road with a speed limit of 60 km/h and see a sign indicating a built-up area ahead. What should you do?

  1. Increase your speed to keep up with traffic
  2. Continue at 60 km/h until you see another sign
  3. Reduce your speed to the general limit for built-up areas Correct answer.
  4. Maintain your speed because the limit is still 60 km/h

Explanation

The general speed limit in built-up areas is lower than on rural roads. When you enter a built-up area, you must reduce your speed to the applicable limit unless signs indicate otherwise.

Question 36Traffic rules and road signs

When are you allowed to use your horn in a built-up area?

  1. To greet other drivers
  2. To express frustration in traffic
  3. Only to warn of immediate danger Correct answer.
