Question 1Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a circular red-bordered sign with a white centre and a black number inside generally indicate?

  1. A maximum speed limit in kilometres per hour Correct answer.
  2. A recommended speed for the road ahead
  3. A minimum speed that must be maintained
  4. The distance to the next town in kilometres

Explanation

In Bahrain, circular signs with a red border are prohibitive or restrictive signs, and a black number inside a white centre sets the maximum legal speed in kilometres per hour. Drivers must not exceed that figure at any point on the stretch it governs.

Question 2Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You approach a junction and see a red octagonal sign. What must you do?

  1. Slow down and give way to traffic on the main road
  2. Come to a complete stop before proceeding when it is safe Correct answer.
  3. Stop only if a vehicle is already crossing your path
  4. Reduce speed and sound your horn before entering

Explanation

The red octagon is the stop sign and it requires a full halt at the stop line, regardless of whether any other traffic is visible. You may only move off once you have checked that the way is clear and it is safe to enter the junction.

Question 3Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

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

  1. The box marks an area where the speed limit is halved
  2. Overtaking is permitted only inside the box
  3. Parking is allowed inside the box for short periods
  4. You may enter only if your exit is clear, except when turning right Correct answer.

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to keep the crossing clear of stationary traffic. You should not enter it unless you can clear it completely, with the usual exception that you may wait inside it when turning right and are blocked only by oncoming traffic.

Question 4Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A traffic light shows a flashing amber light at a pelican-style pedestrian crossing. What does this require of you?

  1. Give way to any pedestrian still on the crossing, otherwise proceed Correct answer.
  2. Continue at the same speed because pedestrians must wait
  3. Reverse away from the crossing and use another route
  4. Stop and wait until the light turns green

Explanation

A flashing amber signal means drivers must yield to pedestrians who are still crossing but may proceed if the crossing is clear. It is not the same as a red light, which requires a complete stop until green.

Question 5Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What do double solid white lines along the centre of the road mean?

  1. Only heavy vehicles are prohibited from crossing the lines
  2. Vehicles on both sides must not cross or straddle the lines Correct answer.
  3. The lines mark a lane reserved for buses during peak hours
  4. Overtaking is allowed if the road ahead looks clear

Explanation

Double solid white centre lines prohibit crossing or straddling from either direction. They are used where visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe, so you must stay in your lane until the marking changes.

Question 6Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A blue circular sign shows a white arrow pointing straight ahead. What does it tell you?

  1. You must turn back because the road is closed
  2. Straight ahead is recommended but turning is allowed
  3. There is a one-way street ending ahead
  4. Straight ahead is the only permitted direction Correct answer.

Explanation

Blue circular signs are mandatory signs, so a white arrow indicates the direction you are obliged to take. Here it means you must continue straight and may not turn left or right at that point.

Question 7Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a red triangle sign with a picture of a bend to the left warn you about?

  1. A left-turn lane begins in two hundred metres
  2. The road surface slopes down to the left
  3. A sharp left bend is ahead, so reduce speed Correct answer.
  4. Left turns are prohibited at the next junction

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs, and the symbol shows the hazard ahead. A bend symbol means the road curves in that direction, so you should adjust speed before reaching it.

Question 8Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What is indicated by a broken white line running along the centre of a two-way road?

  1. The lane is reserved for emergency vehicles
  2. You may cross to overtake when it is safe to do so Correct answer.
  3. The road becomes one-way beyond the line
  4. Overtaking is prohibited at all times

Explanation

A broken white centre line may be crossed, provided you can see that the manoeuvre is safe and will not affect other road users. It separates opposing flows but does not impose an absolute ban on crossing.

Question 9Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You see a sign showing a red circle containing a motorcycle above a car, with a red diagonal line through it. What does this mean?

  1. Only cars carrying passengers may proceed
  2. Motorcycles must give way to cars on this road
  3. No motor vehicles are permitted beyond the sign Correct answer.
  4. Motorcycles may use the road but cars may not

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash is a prohibition sign, and the symbols inside identify what is banned. Showing both a motorcycle and a car means no motor vehicles of that kind may proceed past the sign.

Question 10Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

At a roundabout, which traffic generally has priority in Bahrain?

  1. Traffic entering from the left
  2. The largest vehicle approaching the roundabout
  3. Traffic already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.
  4. Traffic approaching from the fastest road

Explanation

Drivers entering a roundabout must give way to vehicles already on the circulatory carriageway. You should approach at a speed that lets you stop if necessary and join only when there is a safe gap.

Question 11Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a single yellow line painted along the edge of the carriageway usually mean?

  1. Waiting restrictions apply during stated times Correct answer.
  2. Parking is free at all hours
  3. Loading is prohibited at every hour of the day
  4. The kerb may be painted over by residents

Explanation

A single yellow line at the kerb indicates that waiting or parking is restricted, typically during the times shown on nearby plates. Outside those times, normal parking rules apply unless another sign says otherwise.

Question 12Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A traffic light shows a green arrow pointing left while the main light is red. What may you do?

  1. Wait until the main light turns green before moving
  2. Treat the arrow as a warning and stop immediately
  3. Proceed in the direction of the arrow if the way is clear Correct answer.
  4. Proceed straight ahead because green overrides red

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction it indicates, and only if the path is clear of pedestrians and other traffic. The red main light still applies to all other directions.

Question 13Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a white diamond symbol painted on the road surface indicate?

  1. An overtaking lane ends at the symbol
  2. A bus stop bay begins at the symbol
  3. A pedestrian crossing is ahead Correct answer.
  4. A speed hump is immediately after the mark

Explanation

The large white diamond is used to warn drivers that a pedestrian crossing lies ahead. You should check your speed and be ready to stop for anyone waiting or already crossing.

Question 14Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are driving and see a sign with a red circle containing the number 40 and the word 'end' below it. What does this mean?

  1. The 40 km/h limit now begins
  2. Forty metres remain before a hazard
  3. A minimum speed of 40 km/h starts here
  4. The previous 40 km/h limit no longer applies Correct answer.

Explanation

The word 'end' beneath a restriction sign cancels that restriction from the point of the sign onwards. Normal national or road-specific limits then apply, so you should check for any other posted limit.

Question 15Traffic 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. To reserve space for roadside parking
  2. To mark a place where U-turns are encouraged
  3. To separate traffic streams and keep vehicles off the area Correct answer.
  4. To provide space for vehicles to overtake freely

Explanation

Hatched areas, often called chevron markings, separate opposing or diverging traffic streams and must not be entered when bounded by solid lines. They improve safety by keeping vehicles away from a hazardous part of the carriageway.

Question 16Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A pedestrian crossing has alternating black and white stripes on the road with flashing amber globes on poles. What type of crossing is this?

  1. A crossing reserved for schoolchildren at set times
  2. A crossing where vehicles always have priority
  3. A zebra-style crossing where drivers must give way to pedestrians Correct answer.
  4. A signal-controlled crossing where pedestrians press a button

Explanation

Alternating stripes with flashing amber globes identify a zebra-style crossing, where drivers must give way to pedestrians waiting or already on the crossing. There is no pedestrian red or green signal at this type of crossing.

Question 17Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are approaching a junction controlled by traffic lights and the signals are completely dark because of a power failure. What should you do?

  1. Proceed at normal speed because the lights no longer apply
  2. Treat the junction as uncontrolled and give way as required Correct answer.
  3. Wait at the stop line until an officer arrives
  4. Sound your horn and drive through without slowing

Explanation

When signals are not working, the junction reverts to the normal priority rules that apply to uncontrolled junctions. You should approach with caution, be prepared to stop, and give way to traffic on the priority road.

Question 18Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a sign showing a red circle with a white horizontal bar across it mean?

  1. One-way traffic begins here
  2. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  3. Stop and wait for a green light
  4. No parking at any time

Explanation

A red circle with a white horizontal bar is the no-entry sign, meaning vehicles must not proceed past it in that direction. It is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street or a restricted access point.

Question 19Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A road marking shows the word 'SLOW' in large white letters on your lane. What is the correct response?

  1. Stop completely before the word
  2. Change lanes immediately to avoid the marking
  3. Reduce speed because a hazard or junction is close Correct answer.
  4. Ignore it unless a police officer is present

Explanation

Large painted words such as 'SLOW' are advance warnings of a hazard, junction or sharp change in the road. Drivers should ease off the accelerator and be ready to stop if necessary.

Question 20Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What is meant by a clearway sign showing a red circle with a blue background and a red diagonal line?

  1. The road is closed to all traffic ahead
  2. Parking is allowed for up to thirty minutes
  3. Only goods vehicles may stop to load
  4. Stopping on the carriageway is prohibited except in an emergency Correct answer.

Explanation

A clearway prohibits stopping on the carriageway at any time, with limited exceptions such as emergencies or as directed by police. The restriction is stricter than a normal parking ban because even brief stops are not allowed.

Question 21Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are turning right at a junction and the traffic light for your direction is a green circle, but oncoming traffic is still moving. What is the correct action?

  1. Turn immediately because green gives absolute priority
  2. Sound the horn repeatedly until oncoming traffic stops
  3. Reverse and take a different route to avoid waiting
  4. Wait for a safe gap and give way to oncoming traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

A green circle permits movement but does not give priority over oncoming traffic when turning across their path. You must yield to vehicles coming towards you and turn only when a safe gap appears.

Question 22Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A bus lane is marked with the word 'BUS' and operating times on a sign. Outside those times, what generally applies?

  1. The lane becomes a parking bay for residents
  2. The lane remains reserved for buses at all hours
  3. The lane is closed to all traffic including buses
  4. Other vehicles may use the lane subject to normal rules Correct answer.

Explanation

Bus lane restrictions apply only during the times shown on the accompanying sign. Outside those hours, the lane may be used by other vehicles in the normal way, subject to the usual lane discipline rules.

Question 23Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a triangular warning sign showing a vehicle skidding indicate, and what should you do?

  1. A vehicle repair area ahead, so prepare to stop
  2. A steep hill ahead, so change to a low gear
  3. A ford ahead, so check the water depth
  4. Slippery road ahead, so reduce speed and avoid sudden braking Correct answer.

Explanation

The skidding-vehicle symbol warns of a slippery or wet surface where grip is reduced. Drivers should slow down smoothly, increase the gap to the vehicle in front and avoid harsh braking or steering inputs.

Question 24Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A traffic officer is directing traffic at a junction while the lights show green for your direction. The officer signals you to stop. What must you do?

  1. Continue because the green light overrides the officer
  2. Wait for the light to change before obeying
  3. Proceed slowly while watching the officer
  4. Stop, because the officer's directions take precedence Correct answer.

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer or authorised traffic controller override both signals and signs. Even with a green light, you must obey the officer and stop when instructed to do so.

Question 25Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What is the meaning of a rectangular blue sign showing a white 'P' with a red border and a red diagonal line?

  1. A pay-and-display machine is ahead
  2. No parking is allowed at this location Correct answer.
  3. Parking is reserved for disabled badge holders
  4. Parking is permitted for a limited period

Explanation

A 'P' symbol with a red border and diagonal slash is a prohibition on parking. It differs from a no-stopping sign, since you may generally still stop briefly to set down or pick up passengers unless another restriction applies.

Question 26Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You approach a sign that is a red circle with a white bicycle inside it. What does this sign mean?

  1. A cycle route begins ahead for cyclists only
  2. Cyclists may use the pavement beside this road
  3. Cyclists must give way to motor vehicles here
  4. Pedal cycles are prohibited from going beyond this point Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle is a regulatory prohibition sign, and the symbol inside shows what is banned. A bicycle inside the red circle therefore means no cycling beyond that point. The restriction applies to cyclists, not to other traffic, and it is not an advisory warning.

Question 27Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does an octagonal red sign with the word 'STOP' in white require you to do?

  1. Stop only if a traffic officer signals you to do so
  2. Slow down and continue if the road looks clear
  3. Stop completely at the line and give way before proceeding Correct answer.
  4. Stop only when other traffic is approaching

Explanation

The octagonal shape is used only for stop signs so it can be recognised even when dirty or partly obscured. You must bring the vehicle to a complete halt at the stop line, or at the junction edge if there is no line. You then give way to traffic on the road you are joining before moving off.

Question 28Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A sign shows a red triangle containing a symbol of two children walking. What is it warning you about?

  1. A school or playground where children may cross Correct answer.
  2. A pedestrian zone closed to motor vehicles
  3. A footpath that cyclists may share
  4. A bus stop where children board

Explanation

Red triangles are warning signs, and the symbol tells you the nature of the hazard ahead. Children walking indicates a school, playground or similar place where children may step into the road. The correct response is to reduce speed and be ready to stop.

Question 29Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a solid white line along the centre of a two-way road mean?

  1. You must not cross or straddle it except in limited legal exceptions Correct answer.
  2. You may cross it only to enter a side road or property
  3. It marks the edge of a lane reserved for buses
  4. Overtaking is permitted if the road ahead is clear

Explanation

A continuous centre line tells drivers not to cross or straddle it, because visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe. The restriction applies to your side of the line. Limited exceptions exist, such as passing a stationary obstruction or a pedal cycle, but ordinary overtaking is not one of them.

Question 30Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You see a blue circular sign showing a white arrow bending to the right. What does it require?

  1. You must turn right ahead Correct answer.
  2. A right-hand bend is dangerous and should be avoided
  3. Right turns are prohibited ahead
  4. You may turn right or continue straight

Explanation

Blue circles give mandatory instructions, so the arrow shows the direction you are obliged to take. A single arrow bending right means you must follow that direction at the junction. It is not advice and it does not permit an alternative route.

Question 31Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A traffic light shows a flashing amber light at a pelican-style pedestrian crossing. What must you do?

  1. Treat the crossing as closed and drive on normally
  2. Sound your horn to warn pedestrians before continuing
  3. Give way to pedestrians on the crossing but proceed if it is clear Correct answer.
  4. Stop and wait until the light turns green

Explanation

A flashing amber signal means the pedestrian phase is ending and drivers may proceed. You must still give way to anyone already on the crossing. Only when the crossing is clear may you continue.

Question 32Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are on a road with a broken white line at the left edge and a cycle lane marked beside it. What does the broken edge line generally indicate?

  1. A line marking where overtaking is prohibited
  2. The boundary of a parking bay reserved for residents
  3. The edge of the carriageway, which you may cross when necessary Correct answer.
  4. A line you must never cross under any circumstances

Explanation

A broken line at the road edge marks the limit of the carriageway. Because it is broken, you may cross it when it is safe and necessary, for example to enter a lay-by or property. A continuous edge line imposes a stricter restriction.

Question 33Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A sign shows a red circle containing a white arrow pointing left with a red diagonal line through it. What does it mean?

  1. Left turns are permitted only for buses
  2. Turning left is prohibited at the next junction Correct answer.
  3. Left turns are compulsory at the next junction
  4. A left-hand bend lies ahead

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal line through a symbol cancels or prohibits the manoeuvre shown. An arrow pointing left crossed out therefore means you must not turn left. The prohibition applies at the junction the sign governs.

Question 34Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a rectangular sign with a white background and a black diagonal stripe from top left to bottom right indicate?

  1. A derestricted road where no limit applies
  2. A zone where parking is prohibited
  3. The end of all restrictions on the road ahead
  4. The national speed limit applies from this point Correct answer.

Explanation

The white rectangle with a single black diagonal band is the sign marking the start of the national speed limit. The limit that applies depends on the road type and your vehicle. It is not the same as the end-of-restrictions sign, which shows a grey diagonal band over the previous limit.

Question 35Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are driving in the left-hand lane and see a white arrow on the road surface pointing straight ahead, while the lane to your right shows a left-turn arrow. What should you do?

  1. Turn left from your current lane regardless of the arrow
  2. Stop and wait for a gap before choosing a lane
  3. Follow the arrow in your lane and continue straight on Correct answer.
  4. Change to the right lane to turn left

Explanation

Arrows painted in a lane tell drivers which movements that lane is designated for. If your lane shows a straight-ahead arrow, you should continue straight on from it. To turn left you would need to be in the lane marked with the left-turn arrow.

Question 36Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What is the meaning of a yellow box junction marked with criss-cross lines on the road?

  1. You must not enter the box unless your exit is clear Correct answer.
  2. You may stop in the box while waiting to turn right
  3. The box marks a lane reserved for high-occupancy vehicles
  4. The box marks an area where parking is allowed briefly

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to keep a junction clear of queuing traffic. You should not enter the box until there is space to clear it on the far side. The usual exception is when you are waiting to turn right and are prevented only by oncoming traffic.

Question 37Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A supplementary plate below a prohibitory sign reads 'Except for access'. How should you interpret the restriction?

  1. The restriction applies only to vehicles over a certain weight
  2. The restriction applies only outside business hours
  3. The restriction applies to all vehicles without exception
  4. You may proceed only if you have legitimate business beyond the sign Correct answer.

Explanation

A supplementary plate qualifies the main sign and sets out its exceptions. 'Except for access' means the prohibition does not apply to vehicles that need to enter the road to reach premises or property along it. Passing through as a shortcut is not permitted.

Question 38Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are approaching a junction where a traffic light shows a steady red light together with a green arrow pointing straight ahead. What may you do?

  1. Proceed straight ahead only, after giving way where required Correct answer.
  2. Turn right only, since the arrow applies to that movement
  3. Proceed in any direction because the arrow overrides the red
  4. Wait until the main light turns green before moving

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction the arrow points, even while the main light is red. You may proceed straight ahead, but must still give way to pedestrians and any traffic with priority. Other movements remain prohibited until their own signal permits them.

Question 39Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A road has a solid white line on your side and a broken white line on the other side. What does this arrangement mean for you?

  1. The line marks the edge of a bus lane in your direction
  2. You may cross the line to overtake whenever you wish
  3. You must not cross the line, but oncoming traffic may cross it Correct answer.
  4. Both directions may cross the line to overtake

Explanation

Where the two sides of a centre line differ, each side follows the line nearest to it. The solid line on your side prohibits you from crossing, while the broken line permits oncoming drivers to cross when safe. The arrangement usually reflects which direction has better visibility.

Question 40Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You see a warning sign showing a traffic signal symbol. What does this warn you about?

  1. A traffic light that is permanently out of order
  2. Traffic lights ahead that may be hidden or hard to see Correct answer.
  3. A signal-controlled crossing that is closed
  4. A junction where lights apply only to pedestrians

Explanation

The signal-head symbol in a red triangle warns that traffic lights control the road ahead. It is used where the lights may not be visible until you are close, or where drivers might otherwise be surprised by them. You should reduce speed and be ready to stop.

Question 41Road Rules and Right-of-Way

At a roundabout in Bahrain, which traffic has the right of way?

  1. Traffic entering from the widest approach road
  2. Traffic already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.
  3. The largest vehicle at each entry point
  4. Traffic approaching from the right on each entry

Explanation

Vehicles already on the circulating carriageway keep moving while entering traffic waits and gives way. Drivers should slow on approach, look for a safe gap, and join only when it does not force circulating traffic to change speed or direction.

Question 42Road Rules and Right-of-Way

You are joining a dual carriageway from a slip road. What is the correct procedure?

  1. Stop at the end of the slip road and wait for a gap
  2. Cross straight to the outer lane to leave space
  3. Sound the horn to warn following traffic of your entry
  4. Match your speed to the traffic and merge into a safe gap Correct answer.

Explanation

A slip road exists so that entering traffic can build speed to match the main carriageway before merging. You should use mirrors and blind-spot checks, signal, and slot into a gap without forcing other drivers to brake. Stopping at the end of the slip road is dangerous because traffic behind is closing at high speed.

Question 43Road Rules and Right-of-Way

A pedestrian is waiting to cross at a marked zebra crossing. What must you do?

  1. Rev your engine so the pedestrian waits
  2. Slow down and be ready to stop to let them cross Correct answer.
  3. Continue if you have already sounded your horn
  4. Pass slowly behind the pedestrian

Explanation

Drivers must give way to pedestrians at marked crossings, slowing and stopping when someone is waiting or already crossing. Approaching a crossing at speed or trying to slip past undermines the protection the marking gives to people on foot.

Question 44Road Rules and Right-of-Way

An emergency vehicle approaches with flashing blue lights and a siren while you are in a queue. What should you do?

  1. Make space safely, for example by moving aside or stopping where legal Correct answer.
  2. Ignore it until it is directly behind you
  3. Speed up to stay ahead of it
  4. Brake sharply and stop where you are

Explanation

You should help emergency vehicles pass by making room where it is safe and legal, such as pulling to the side or easing forward past a junction before stopping. Do not break traffic rules, mount kerbs dangerously, or stop abruptly in a way that endangers others.

Question 45Road Rules and Right-of-Way

You are turning right at a junction and an oncoming vehicle is going straight ahead. Who has priority?

  1. Whichever vehicle reaches the junction first
  2. You, because you signalled first
  3. The oncoming vehicle going straight Correct answer.
  4. The vehicle travelling faster

Explanation

A driver turning across the path of oncoming traffic must wait until it is clear. The vehicle proceeding straight on keeps its course, so the turning driver yields and only completes the turn when there is a safe gap.

Question 46Road Rules and Right-of-Way

Two vehicles reach an uncontrolled crossroads at the same moment. Which rule best describes who should proceed?

  1. The vehicle on the left always goes first
  2. The vehicle with more passengers goes first
  3. The vehicle on the right has priority, but caution is needed Correct answer.
  4. Both should accelerate through together

Explanation

Where priority is not indicated by signs, markings, or signals, the general convention is to give way to traffic approaching from the right. Even so, drivers should slow, make eye contact where possible, and proceed only when it is clearly safe.

Question 47Road Rules and Right-of-Way

A solid white line separates your lane from the opposing traffic lane. What does this mean for overtaking?

  1. You may cross it whenever the road looks clear
  2. You may straddle it briefly to improve visibility
  3. You must not cross it to overtake Correct answer.
  4. You may cross it only at night

Explanation

A continuous centre line marks a stretch where crossing is prohibited, generally because visibility or space is insufficient for a safe overtake. You must stay on your side of the line and wait for a broken section or a safe opportunity.

Question 48Road Rules and Right-of-Way

You are driving on a road with a broken white centre line and wish to overtake a slower vehicle. What is the key requirement before you begin?

  1. That you have switched on your hazard lights
  2. That the road ahead is clear enough to complete the manoeuvre safely Correct answer.
  3. That you are within a built-up area
  4. That the vehicle ahead has flashed its headlights

Explanation

Overtaking is only permitted when you can see far enough ahead to complete it without endangering oncoming traffic or the vehicle being passed. Check mirrors, signal, and confirm the gap is sufficient before pulling out.

Question 49Road Rules and Right-of-Way

At a junction controlled by traffic lights showing a green arrow pointing left, what may you do?

  1. Proceed straight ahead if the road is clear
  2. Turn right only after the main green appears
  3. Turn left, giving way to pedestrians crossing that road Correct answer.
  4. Treat the arrow as a stop signal

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction it points, so a left arrow permits a left turn while other movements remain controlled by their own signals. You must still yield to pedestrians already crossing the road you are entering.

Question 50Road Rules and Right-of-Way

A traffic light shows a steady amber (yellow) signal as you approach. What is the correct response?

  1. Accelerate hard to clear the junction
  2. Stop, unless you are so close that stopping would be unsafe Correct answer.
  3. Continue at the same speed and ignore the change
  4. Reverse away from the stop line

Explanation

Amber means the signal is about to turn red, so you should stop at the line unless you have already crossed it or are too close to stop safely. Reversing or accelerating aggressively creates collision risk and is not permitted.
