Question 1Road signs, signals and road markings
In Belgium, what does a round sign with a red border and a white centre generally indicate?
- A warning of danger ahead
- A parking facility
- A mandatory direction
- A prohibition or restriction Correct answer.
Explanation
Round signs with a red border belong to the prohibition family: they forbid or restrict the behaviour shown inside the circle, such as a speed limit or a banned manoeuvre. Warning signs are triangular with a red border, and mandatory signs are round but blue.
Question 2Road signs, signals and road markings
What does a triangular sign with a red border and a black symbol inside mean?
- An end of a built-up area
- A compulsory route for cyclists
- A toll road begins
- A warning of a hazard ahead Correct answer.
Explanation
Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs; they alert the driver to a hazard such as a bend, a slippery surface or a junction. The symbol inside identifies the specific danger to expect.
Question 3Road signs, signals and road markings
A blue circular sign showing a white bicycle means that cyclists…
- must use the path indicated Correct answer.
- are prohibited from the path
- may use the path only at night
- have priority over all traffic
Explanation
Blue circular signs are mandatory signs, so a white bicycle on blue means cyclists are obliged to use the designated cycle path or lane. It is an instruction, not merely a suggestion.
Question 4Road signs, signals and road markings
What does a continuous white line along the centre of the roadway mean?
- Parking is permitted there
- Overtaking is always allowed
- The road has one-way traffic
- Crossing it is prohibited Correct answer.
Explanation
A continuous centre line forbids crossing or straddling it, which in practice bans overtaking manoeuvres that require entering the opposing lane. A broken line, by contrast, may be crossed when it is safe.
Question 5Road signs, signals and road markings
A traffic light shows a steady amber (yellow) signal with no arrow. What must a driver do?
- Continue at the same speed
- Accelerate to clear the junction
- Stop unless stopping safely is impossible Correct answer.
- Reverse away from the stop line
Explanation
A steady amber means the signal is about to turn red, so the driver must stop unless doing so would be dangerous, for example when already too close to stop safely. Treating amber as an invitation to speed up is a common and dangerous error.
Question 6Road signs, signals and road markings
What is the meaning of a sign showing a red circle with a white horizontal bar on a blue background?
- End of all restrictions
- Compulsory stop ahead
- No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
- One-way street begins
Explanation
The red circle with a white horizontal bar is the no-entry sign, meaning vehicles may not proceed past it in that direction. It is often placed at the exit of a one-way street to prevent drivers entering against the flow.
Question 7Road signs, signals and road markings
What does a red octagonal sign require of a driver?
- Give way without stopping
- Sound the horn before proceeding
- Slow down only if traffic is present
- Come to a complete stop Correct answer.
Explanation
The octagonal STOP sign requires a full stop at the stop line or, if there is none, at the edge of the junction, before giving way. Rolling slowly through is not compliant even when the road looks clear.
Question 8Road signs, signals and road markings
Yellow zigzag markings on the road near a school entrance indicate that…
- loading is allowed at all times
- the area is a bus stop
- only motorcycles may park there
- stopping and parking are prohibited there Correct answer.
Explanation
Zigzag markings outside schools keep the approach clear so children and crossing traffic remain visible, so drivers may not stop or park on them. Bus stops are marked differently, usually with a yellow broken line and the word BUS.
Question 9Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver approaches a junction where a yield sign (inverted triangle) is posted. Traffic on the main road is approaching. What is required?
- Proceed first because the driver is on the right
- Flash headlights and continue
- Slow down and give way, stopping only if necessary Correct answer.
- Stop completely in every case
Explanation
A yield sign requires the driver to give priority to traffic on the road being entered; a full stop is needed only when traffic makes it necessary. This differs from a STOP sign, where a complete stop is always compulsory.
Question 10Road signs, signals and road markings
On a road with a broken white centre line, when may a driver cross it to overtake?
- Never, because broken lines cannot be crossed
- Only when the vehicle ahead signals right
- When it can be done safely and no rule forbids it Correct answer.
- Only on motorways
Explanation
A broken centre line may be crossed for overtaking provided visibility is adequate, no other prohibition applies and the manoeuvre can be completed safely. The line permits crossing; it does not guarantee that overtaking is safe at that moment.
Question 11Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a sign with a red border showing a car inside a red circle together with a motorcycle symbol. What does this combination most likely indicate?
- A parking area reserved for those vehicles
- Access prohibited for the vehicles shown Correct answer.
- A repair garage ahead
- A compulsory route for those vehicles
Explanation
Symbols enclosed in a red-ringed circle are prohibitions, so vehicles pictured inside are banned from the road or zone concerned. A blue circle would instead make the route compulsory for those vehicles.
Question 12Road signs, signals and road markings
What does a white triangular sign with a red border containing a black exclamation mark warn of?
- A pedestrian zone begins
- A general hazard not covered by a specific symbol Correct answer.
- An end of priority road
- A compulsory stop ahead
Explanation
The exclamation-mark triangle is a general danger warning used where no specific symbol fits, so the driver should slow down and be prepared for an unexpected hazard. Supplementary plates beneath it often state the nature of the danger.
Question 13Road signs, signals and road markings
A traffic light shows a green arrow pointing left while the main light is red. What does this allow?
- Turning left only, after giving way Correct answer.
- Turning right only
- Proceeding straight ahead
- Ignoring all other signals
Explanation
A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction shown, and the driver must still give way to traffic and pedestrians that have priority. The red main light continues to govern all other directions.
Question 14Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver wants to park on a road where a yellow broken line runs along the kerb. What does this marking mean?
- Only residents may park there
- The kerb may be painted over
- Parking is allowed without restriction
- Parking is prohibited but stopping to load may be allowed Correct answer.
Explanation
A broken yellow line along the kerb means parking is prohibited, although brief stopping for loading or for passengers may be tolerated depending on local rules. A continuous yellow line is stricter and bans both stopping and parking.
Question 15Road signs, signals and road markings
What does a yellow diamond sign with a white border indicate?
- The driver must give way at the next junction
- The driver is on a priority road Correct answer.
- A danger of falling rocks
- A compulsory direction ahead
Explanation
The yellow diamond marks a priority road, meaning traffic on it has right of way at junctions until the sign is cancelled by a version with a black diagonal bar. Drivers emerging from side roads must yield.
Question 16Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver is in a lane marked with a white bicycle symbol painted on the surface. What should the driver expect?
- The lane is reserved for buses
- Cyclists may share or use this lane Correct answer.
- The lane is a parking bay
- The lane is closed to all traffic
Explanation
A bicycle symbol painted in a lane indicates that cyclists use or share that space, so drivers should expect them and avoid squeezing past. Where the lane is reserved, other vehicles may be excluded by signs or by the marking itself.
Question 17Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver approaches a level crossing showing a red flashing light and a ringing bell. What is required?
- Drive around the barrier if it is down
- Cross quickly before the barrier lowers
- Stop and wait until the signals cease Correct answer.
- Sound the horn and proceed
Explanation
Flashing red lights at a level crossing mean a train is approaching and the driver must stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and the barriers are fully raised. Attempting to beat the barrier is extremely dangerous and illegal.
Question 18Road signs, signals and road markings
What is indicated by a blue rectangular sign bearing a white P and a symbol of a parking disc?
- Parking is subject to a time limit using a disc Correct answer.
- Parking is reserved for deliveries
- Parking is prohibited at all times
- Parking is free and unlimited
Explanation
The parking disc symbol means the driver must display a disc showing arrival time and may stay only for the period indicated. It is a controlled time-limited parking zone rather than free unlimited parking.
Question 19Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing the number 70 and, beneath it, a plate reading '50 m'. How should this be interpreted?
- The limit applies only to vehicles over 50 tonnes
- The 70 km/h limit starts 50 metres ahead Correct answer.
- The limit ends in 50 metres
- The limit is 70 km/h for the next 50 metres
Explanation
A distance plate beneath a prohibition sign indicates where the restriction begins, so the 70 km/h limit takes effect 50 metres beyond the sign. Drivers must adjust speed before reaching that point.
Question 20Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a continuous white line on their side and a broken white line on the other side of the centre of the road. What does this mean for the driver?
- The driver may park along it
- The driver may cross whenever convenient
- The driver must drive on the left of it
- The driver may not cross the line to overtake Correct answer.
Explanation
When a continuous and a broken line run together, each driver is bound by the line nearest to them, so this driver faces a continuous line and may not cross. Traffic on the opposite side, facing the broken line, may cross when safe.
Question 21Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver passes a sign showing the end of a built-up area. What change in rules generally applies beyond it?
- Parking becomes free everywhere
- All speed limits are cancelled
- Overtaking becomes compulsory
- The general speed limit rises to the regional default Correct answer.
Explanation
Leaving a built-up area ends the lower urban speed limit, so the regional default outside built-up areas applies unless other signs state otherwise. The end-of-area sign does not abolish all limits; it changes which default applies.
Question 22Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver is stopped at a red light and a police officer signals them to proceed. What should the driver do?
- Reverse out of the junction
- Proceed only after the officer repeats the signal
- Follow the officer's signal, which overrides the light Correct answer.
- Wait for the light to turn green
Explanation
Directions given by a police officer controlling traffic take precedence over traffic lights and signs, so the driver should obey the officer's signal even against a red light. The officer is directing traffic to keep the junction clear.
Question 23Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a warning triangle containing a symbol of a car with skid marks behind it. What hazard does this indicate and what should the driver do?
- Steep hill; change to a lower gear
- Roadworks; expect a diversion
- Slippery road; reduce speed and avoid sudden braking Correct answer.
- Loose gravel; increase speed
Explanation
The skidding-car symbol warns of a slippery surface, often caused by rain, ice or spilt material, so the driver should slow down smoothly and avoid sharp braking or steering. Sudden inputs on a low-grip surface can cause a loss of control.
Question 24Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver intends to turn left at a junction and sees a blue circular sign with a white arrow pointing left, while a red-ringed sign nearby forbids left turns. How should the conflict be resolved?
- Both signs cancel each other out
- The prohibition prevails, so the left turn is not allowed Correct answer.
- The blue sign prevails, so the turn is compulsory
- The driver may choose either sign to follow
Explanation
Where a mandatory sign and a prohibition appear to conflict at the same point, the prohibition restricts what the mandatory sign would otherwise require, so the turn cannot be made. The driver should follow the remaining permitted direction.
Question 25Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a broken yellow line along the kerb combined with a sign showing a parking disc. What is the effect?
- Parking is completely prohibited at all times
- Parking is free with no time limit
- Only loading is permitted, not parking
- Stopping to set the disc is allowed, but parking is time-limited Correct answer.
Explanation
A broken yellow kerb line normally bans parking, but where a parking-disc zone is signed the driver may stop briefly to display the disc and then park within the permitted period. The combination creates controlled, time-limited parking rather than an outright ban.
Question 26Road signs, signals and road markings
In Belgium, what does a circular blue sign with a white arrow curving to the right require a driver to do?
- Keep right of the obstacle or traffic island ahead Correct answer.
- Follow a one-way street to the right
- Turn right ahead, since the arrow shows a mandatory direction
- Give way to traffic coming from the right
Explanation
Blue circular signs give mandatory instructions. A white arrow curving down to the right on a blue disc means traffic must pass on the right-hand side of the obstacle, such as a refuge island or roadworks. It is not a turn instruction and does not change priority rules.
Question 27Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a white rectangular sign with a black diagonal stripe running from top left to bottom right. What does this sign mean?
- Approaching a toll station
- Start of a motorway section
- End of all previously indicated restrictions Correct answer.
- Entry to a zone with a speed limit
Explanation
A white rectangular sign crossed by a black diagonal band cancels the restrictions that applied up to that point, such as a speed limit or an overtaking ban. It marks the end of a restriction zone rather than the beginning of one. Drivers may resume the general rules that apply to that road.
Question 28Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver approaches a junction and sees a red-bordered triangle containing a symbol of two children walking. What should the driver expect?
- A pedestrian zone where cycling is prohibited
- A bus stop where passengers board
- A school or playground area where children may cross Correct answer.
- A compulsory footpath alongside the road
Explanation
Red-bordered triangles are warning signs. The symbol of children warns that a school, playground or similar area is nearby, so children may step into the road unpredictably. The driver should reduce speed and be ready to stop.
Question 29Road signs, signals and road markings
On a Belgian road, what does a white arrow painted on the surface pointing straight ahead in your lane indicate?
- Overtaking is permitted on either side
- You may only continue straight ahead from that lane Correct answer.
- The lane is reserved for buses only
- You must turn off at the next junction
Explanation
Direction arrows painted in a lane prescribe the direction traffic in that lane must take. A straight-ahead arrow means vehicles in that lane must continue straight and may not turn at the junction. Drivers who wish to turn should position themselves in the appropriate lane earlier.
Question 30Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a black motorcycle inside, and beneath it a small plate reading 'Verboden voor motorfietsen'. What does this mean?
- A motorcycle parking area begins here
- Motorcycles must use the cycle path
- Motorcycles may proceed only with the engine off
- Motorcycles are prohibited from proceeding beyond the sign Correct answer.
Explanation
A red circle with a vehicle symbol inside is a prohibition sign. The motorcycle symbol means that motorcycles may not continue past the sign, and the plate reinforces the prohibition in words. Other traffic is unaffected unless separately restricted.
Question 31Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver is travelling on a road where the kerb is marked with a continuous yellow line. What does this mean?
- The road is a paid parking zone
- Loading is permitted at any time
- Stopping and parking are prohibited along that stretch Correct answer.
- Parking is allowed for up to 30 minutes
Explanation
A continuous yellow line along the kerb means that both stopping and parking are prohibited on that side of the road. The restriction applies at all times unless a supplementary plate states otherwise. A broken yellow line, by contrast, prohibits parking but allows brief stopping.
Question 32Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a warning sign showing a triangle with a symbol of a traffic light. What does this warn of?
- A pedestrian crossing without signals
- Traffic lights ahead that may be difficult to see in time Correct answer.
- A permanently green light on the route ahead
- Roadworks controlled by a flagman
Explanation
The traffic-light warning triangle alerts drivers that signal-controlled junction or crossing lies ahead. It is used where the lights may not be visible early enough, for example after a bend or crest. Drivers should adjust speed so they can stop safely if the light changes.
Question 33Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver approaches a roundabout and sees a blue circular sign with three white arrows arranged in a circle. What does this sign require?
- Follow the roundabout in the direction of the arrows Correct answer.
- Leave the roundabout at the first exit
- Give way to traffic already on the roundabout
- Stop before entering the roundabout
Explanation
The blue circular sign with white arrows in a circle makes the roundabout direction mandatory. Traffic must circulate in the direction shown, which in Belgium is anticlockwise. The sign itself does not settle priority, which is governed by separate yield markings and signs.
Question 34Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a white sign with a red border showing the word 'STOP' together with a thick white stop line painted across the lane. Where must the driver stop?
- Before the stop line, so the junction stays clear Correct answer.
- Only if another vehicle is approaching
- Anywhere within five metres of the sign
- At the edge of the junction itself, past the line
Explanation
A stop sign requires a complete stop before the stop line painted on the road. Stopping before the line keeps the junction and any crossing clear and gives the driver a proper view. If no line is visible, the stop is made at the edge of the carriageway being joined.
Question 35Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a broken white line painted across the lane together with a yield sign. What is the meaning of this line?
- Drivers must stop completely before the line
- Traffic on this lane has priority over the junction
- Drivers must give way but may proceed without stopping if clear Correct answer.
- The lane ends and traffic must merge left
Explanation
A broken white line across the lane marks a yield line. Drivers must give way to traffic on the road they are joining or crossing, but they are not obliged to come to a complete stop when the way is clear. A solid stop line, by contrast, requires a full stop.
Question 36Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a rectangular blue sign with a white symbol of a bicycle and the word 'fietspad'. What does this sign indicate?
- A route recommended for touring cyclists
- A path where cycling is prohibited
- A place where cyclists must dismount
- A compulsory cycle path that cyclists must use Correct answer.
Explanation
A blue rectangular or circular sign with a bicycle symbol designates a cycle path. Where the sign is mandatory in form, cyclists are required to use that path rather than the main carriageway. Drivers must not drive or park on it and should check for cyclists when crossing it.
Question 37Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing a black car and a black motorcycle side by side. What does this sign mean?
- Cars and motorcycles may park here only
- Overtaking by cars and motorcycles is prohibited
- Cars and motorcycles are prohibited from proceeding Correct answer.
- Cars and motorcycles must use separate lanes ahead
Explanation
A red circle enclosing vehicle symbols is a prohibition applying to those vehicle types. When a car and a motorcycle appear together, the ban covers both categories, so neither may continue past the sign. Other road users are not affected unless a separate sign restricts them.
Question 38Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a priority road sign, a yellow diamond with a white border, mounted together with a plate showing a black diagonal bar across the diamond. What does the combination mean?
- The priority road continues for another kilometre
- The sign applies only to heavy vehicles
- The priority road ends at the next junction Correct answer.
- The driver must give way at the next junction
Explanation
The yellow diamond marks a priority road on which the driver has right of way at junctions. A black diagonal bar across the diamond cancels that status, so from that point the ordinary priority rules apply again. Drivers should then be prepared to yield, for example to traffic from the right.
Question 39Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a white sign with a red border showing a black steam train symbol without any barrier. What does this warn of, and what should the driver do?
- A railway museum ahead; continue at normal speed
- A tram stop; give way to boarding passengers
- A level crossing without barriers; approach with caution and be ready to stop Correct answer.
- A tunnel entrance; switch on the headlight
Explanation
The train symbol in a warning triangle announces a level crossing ahead. Without a barrier symbol, the crossing is unguarded, so the driver must slow down, look both ways and be prepared to stop for an approaching train. Signals or markings at the crossing then govern the actual obligation.
Question 40Road signs, signals and road markings
A driver sees a blue circular sign with a white arrow pointing straight ahead, and below it a small plate reading '150 m'. How should the driver interpret this?
- The mandatory direction applies from 150 metres onward Correct answer.
- The direction applies only to vehicles over 150 metres long
- The instruction is recommended rather than compulsory
- A diversion ends 150 metres ahead
Explanation
A distance plate under a sign states where the instruction takes effect. With '150 m', the mandatory straight-ahead direction begins 150 metres beyond the sign, not immediately. Drivers who need to turn should change lane before reaching that point.
Question 41Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
You approach a crossroads with no signs and no markings. Which vehicle has to give way?
- The vehicle coming from the left
- The vehicle coming from the right Correct answer.
- The heavier vehicle
- The vehicle travelling faster
Explanation
In Belgium, when there are no traffic signs or road markings establishing priority, the general rule of the right applies: you must yield to traffic approaching from your right. Speed, vehicle weight and direction of travel do not change this default rule.
Question 42Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
A traffic light shows a green disc together with a lit green arrow pointing left. What may you do?
- Only turn left, because the arrow overrides the disc
- Continue straight only, because the arrow cancels the disc
- Turn left and also continue straight ahead Correct answer.
- Wait for the arrow to go out before moving at all
Explanation
A green arrow gives a protected movement in the direction shown, while a green disc permits all movements not otherwise prohibited. When both are shown, you may turn left in safety and you may also proceed straight ahead. The arrow does not cancel the general permission given by the disc.
Question 43Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
On a roundabout marked with the yield sign and shark's teeth at the entry, who has priority?
- Whichever vehicle arrives first
- Traffic entering the roundabout
- Traffic already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.
- Traffic approaching from the left only
Explanation
Where the entry is marked with a yield line and sign, vehicles entering must give way to those already on the ring. This applies to all traffic already circulating, regardless of which lane they occupy.
Question 44Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
At a roundabout without any yield signs or markings at the entries, which rule applies?
- Priority alternates between entries
- Vehicles on the roundabout yield to traffic entering from the right Correct answer.
- The largest vehicle has priority
- Entering traffic yields to vehicles already on the roundabout
Explanation
If the roundabout has no signs or markings giving priority to circulating traffic, the ordinary right-hand rule applies at each entry. Entering drivers then have priority over circulating vehicles approaching from their right. This is why such roundabouts are rare and usually signposted.
Question 45Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
A pedestrian is waiting at a marked zebra crossing without traffic lights. What must you do?
- Pass behind the pedestrian without stopping
- Continue if you are below the speed limit
- Slow down and stop to let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
- Sound your horn so the pedestrian waits
Explanation
At a zebra crossing you must approach at a speed that lets you stop, and you must yield to pedestrians who are crossing or clearly about to cross. Approaching faster or claiming priority defeats the purpose of the crossing.
Question 46Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
You want to turn left at a junction and a pedestrian is crossing the road you are entering. What is required?
- Rev your engine to warn the pedestrian
- Turn first because you already have a green light
- Turn and let the pedestrian walk around your car
- Give way to the pedestrian before completing the turn Correct answer.
Explanation
A driver turning into a road must yield to pedestrians crossing that road, even where a signal allows the turn. The obligation applies to the road being entered, not only to the junction itself.
Question 47Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
A police officer stands in the middle of the junction with an arm raised vertically. What does this mean?
- Traffic must stop, except that already in the junction may clear it Correct answer.
- Traffic may continue in all directions
- Only pedestrians must stop
- All traffic must reverse out of the junction
Explanation
A raised arm means stop for all traffic approaching the officer, while vehicles already engaged in the junction may finish clearing it. Signals from a police officer take precedence over traffic lights and signs.
Question 48Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
You are on a priority road and reach a junction where the side road has a give-way sign. Who has priority?
- The first vehicle to reach the junction
- You, because the side road must yield Correct answer.
- Neither; both must stop
- Traffic from the side road, because it is on your right
Explanation
A give-way sign on the side road obliges that traffic to yield to vehicles on the priority road. The right-hand rule does not apply where signs or markings establish priority.
Question 49Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
You approach a junction where a blue square sign shows a white arrow bending to the right inside a circle. What does it require?
- Give way to traffic from the right
- Pass to the right of the obstacle or island Correct answer.
- Turn right at the next junction
- Stop before the sign
Explanation
This mandatory direction sign tells you which side of an obstacle, refuge or island you must pass. It does not order a turn at a junction and does not create a yield obligation.
Question 50Traffic rules and priority (intersections, roundabouts, crossings)
At a T-junction where your road ends and you must join the through road, what is the default rule if there are no signs?
- You have priority because you are turning
- Both directions must stop first
- Traffic on the through road must yield to you
- You must yield to traffic on the through road Correct answer.
Explanation
When your road ends at a T-junction and no signs give priority, you are joining another road and must yield to traffic already on it. This follows from the general duty to give way when entering a road from a road that ends.
