01Road Traffic Law and Regulations (Bulgaria, Category A)
Bulgarian road traffic law is built on the Road Traffic Act (Закон за движението по пътищата, ЗДвП) and its implementing regulation. For a category A candidate the examinable core is: the documents you must carry, the rules on alcohol and drugs, speed limits, and the hierarchy of obligations when a rule seems to conflict with a signal or an official's instruction.

Bulgarian signs follow the European Vienna Convention system. Learn the families: warning triangles (red border, white/yellow ground), priority signs (the yellow diamond 'priority road', the inverted triangle 'give way', the octagon 'STOP'), prohibition circles (red ring), mandatory blue circles, information squares and rectangles, and supplementary plates below a sign that modify it.

Bulgarian signals include the standard three-lamp vehicle light, pedestrian lights, and special lights such as flashing amber (proceed with caution, give way as at a give-way), and lane-control signals. A green light means you may proceed if the exit is clear; you must not enter a junction you cannot clear.
