Question 1Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What must you do when you approach a red traffic light at an intersection?

  1. Stop before the stop line and wait until the light turns green Correct answer.
  2. Sound your horn and proceed with caution
  3. Slow down and continue if the road looks clear
  4. Stop only if another vehicle is already waiting

Explanation

A red light is a mandatory stop signal. You must bring the motorcycle to a complete stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection edge, and remain stopped until a green light or a lawful signal from an authorised officer permits you to go.

Question 2Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A flashing red light at an intersection should be treated in the same way as which of the following?

  1. A yellow warning light
  2. A stop sign Correct answer.
  3. A yield sign only
  4. A green light

Explanation

A flashing red signal means you must come to a complete stop, then proceed only when it is safe, exactly as at a stop sign. Yielding without stopping is not enough, because the flash red imposes a full stop obligation.

Question 3Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a steady yellow traffic light tell you?

  1. Stop, unless you are too close to stop safely Correct answer.
  2. Proceed because pedestrians have already cleared
  3. Speed up to clear the intersection before red
  4. Treat the intersection as uncontrolled

Explanation

A steady yellow light warns that the signal is about to turn red. The correct response is to stop if you can do so safely; if you are already so close that stopping would be hazardous, you may continue through with care.

Question 4Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What shape and colour is a standard stop sign?

  1. A red octagon Correct answer.
  2. A green circle
  3. A yellow diamond
  4. A white rectangle

Explanation

Stop signs are octagonal and red with white lettering, a combination used nowhere else so that drivers can recognise them instantly, even from behind or in poor visibility. The eight-sided shape is itself a cue to stop.

Question 5Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A yellow diamond-shaped sign on the roadside generally gives you what kind of information?

  1. The distance to the next town
  2. A parking restriction
  3. A mandatory instruction you must obey
  4. A warning of a hazard or change in road conditions ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

Yellow diamond signs are warning signs. They alert you to hazards such as curves, intersections, pedestrians, or road narrowing so that you can adjust speed and position in good time.

Question 6Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What is the purpose of road markings such as a solid white line along the edge of the carriageway?

  1. To separate pedestrians from cyclists only
  2. To show the edge of the driving lane and guide your position Correct answer.
  3. To indicate that parking is always allowed
  4. To mark where overtaking is compulsory

Explanation

Edge lines define the limits of the carriageway and help drivers keep their position, especially at night or in rain. They are guidance markings rather than instructions to overtake or park.

Question 7Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

When a traffic officer directs you to proceed while the light is red, what should you do?

  1. Wait for the green light regardless
  2. Obey the officer's direction Correct answer.
  3. Proceed only after the officer leaves
  4. Stop your engine and ask for written permission

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer or authorised traffic controller take priority over signals and signs. If an officer waves you through a red light, you follow the officer's instruction carefully.

Question 8Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a broken white line between lanes of traffic in the same direction mean?

  1. You may change lanes when it is safe to do so Correct answer.
  2. You must stop before crossing it
  3. The lane is reserved for buses only
  4. Lane changing is prohibited at all times

Explanation

Broken white lines separate lanes travelling in the same direction and may be crossed when it is safe. They indicate that lane changes are permitted, subject to checking mirrors, signalling, and giving way.

Question 9Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are riding and see a sign showing a pedestrian walking in a triangle. What should you expect and do?

  1. Expect pedestrians crossing ahead and reduce speed, prepared to stop Correct answer.
  2. Sound your horn continuously to clear the area
  3. Accelerate to pass the area quickly
  4. Expect a pedestrian-only zone where motorcycles are banned

Explanation

A pedestrian warning sign alerts you to a crossing or pedestrian activity ahead. The correct response is to slow down, scan both sides of the road, and be ready to stop for anyone on or entering the carriageway.

Question 10Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A circular sign with a red border and a number inside typically indicates what?

  1. The minimum speed for the road
  2. A recommended speed for good conditions
  3. The distance to the next exit
  4. A maximum speed limit that must not be exceeded Correct answer.

Explanation

Red-bordered circular signs are regulatory. A number inside a red circle sets the maximum legal speed, and exceeding it is an offence regardless of traffic or weather conditions.

Question 11Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What should you do when you see a yield (give way) sign at the entrance to a roundabout?

  1. Wait for a green light before entering
  2. Slow down and give way to traffic already on the roundabout Correct answer.
  3. Enter immediately because you have priority
  4. Stop completely in every case before entering

Explanation

A yield sign requires you to slow down and give way to traffic already circulating. You need not stop if the way is genuinely clear, but you must be prepared to stop if another vehicle has priority.

Question 12Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A double solid line runs along the centre of the road. What does this mean for overtaking?

  1. Overtaking is permitted if the road ahead looks clear
  2. Overtaking is allowed only at night
  3. Overtaking across the line is prohibited Correct answer.
  4. Overtaking is allowed for motorcycles only

Explanation

Double solid centre lines prohibit crossing to overtake from either direction. The restriction exists because visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe, and it applies to all vehicles including motorcycles.

Question 13Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a flashing yellow light at an intersection generally indicate?

  1. You have an absolute right of way
  2. Stop and wait for a green light
  3. The signal is broken and rules do not apply
  4. Proceed with caution and be alert for hazards Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing yellow signal warns drivers to proceed cautiously. It is often used at quieter intersections or when the main signal is inactive, so you should reduce speed and watch for crossing traffic and pedestrians.

Question 14Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You approach a junction where a sign shows a motorcycle inside a red circle. What does this most likely mean?

  1. Motorcycles are prohibited from proceeding Correct answer.
  2. Motorcycles have priority over other traffic
  3. Motorcycles must use a special lane
  4. Motorcycles must reduce speed to 20 km/h

Explanation

A red circle is a prohibition sign, so a motorcycle symbol inside it means motorcycles are not permitted beyond that point. You must find an alternative route rather than proceed.

Question 15Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What is the meaning of a solid white line separating your lane from a bus lane during operating hours?

  1. You should stay out of the bus lane during the hours shown Correct answer.
  2. You may enter the bus lane whenever traffic is heavy
  3. The line marks a pedestrian crossing
  4. The bus lane is open to all vehicles at all times

Explanation

A solid line bordering a bus lane indicates that the lane is reserved during the posted operating hours. Outside those hours the restriction may not apply, but during them you should remain in the general traffic lane unless markings permit entry.

Question 16Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A sign shows a triangle with a symbol of a road narrowing on both sides. How should you respond?

  1. Stop immediately and wait for oncoming traffic to pass
  2. Move onto the shoulder to let others overtake
  3. Maintain speed and stay in the centre of the road
  4. Reduce speed and prepare to adjust your lane position Correct answer.

Explanation

A road-narrows warning tells you the carriageway ahead becomes narrower, reducing clearance. You should slow down, check for oncoming traffic, and choose a safe position without drifting into the opposing lane.

Question 17Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a stop line painted across your lane at an intersection require?

  1. Stop with your front wheel before the line Correct answer.
  2. Stop only when a pedestrian is present
  3. Ignore the line if the light is green
  4. Stop with your rear wheel on the line

Explanation

A stop line marks the point at which you must halt when a stop is required. You should stop so that your vehicle is behind the line, keeping crossings and junctions clear for pedestrians and cross traffic.

Question 18Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are waiting at a red light and a green arrow pointing left appears. What does this allow?

  1. You must wait for the full green circle before moving
  2. You may turn left, but only after giving way to traffic and pedestrians Correct answer.
  3. You may turn left with absolute priority over all traffic
  4. You may proceed straight ahead as well

Explanation

A green arrow permits movement in the direction shown while other movements may still be stopped. You may make the turn, but you must still yield to pedestrians and any traffic that has priority.

Question 19Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A yellow diamond sign shows a symbol of a curve bending to the right. What is the safest action?

  1. Move to the opposite lane to widen the curve
  2. Reduce speed before the curve and steer smoothly through it Correct answer.
  3. Brake sharply at the start of the curve
  4. Accelerate to increase stability through the bend

Explanation

Curve warning signs tell you to adjust speed before reaching the bend, because braking mid-corner can cause a skid. Smooth, progressive steering and a safe entry speed keep the motorcycle stable.

Question 20Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a broken yellow line on your side of a two-way road indicate?

  1. The road is one-way only
  2. Overtaking is prohibited at all times
  3. Overtaking is permitted when it is safe and visibility allows Correct answer.
  4. Parking is permitted along the line

Explanation

A broken yellow line on your side permits overtaking when you have clear visibility and sufficient space. The marking signals that the restriction is conditional rather than absolute, so judgement is still required.

Question 21Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You see a sign with a red circle containing a white horizontal bar. What does it mean?

  1. One-way traffic begins here
  2. End of all restrictions
  3. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  4. Stop and wait for permission

Explanation

A red circle with a white horizontal bar is the no-entry sign. It means vehicles must not enter that road or lane, so you should look for an alternative route or a permitted direction.

Question 22Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

At night you approach an intersection where the traffic light is not working and no officer is present. What is the correct approach?

  1. Proceed at normal speed because the signal is off
  2. Treat the junction as uncontrolled and give way as required, with extra caution Correct answer.
  3. Wait until the light is repaired before moving
  4. Sound your horn and proceed without slowing

Explanation

When signals are out of service, the junction reverts to normal right-of-way rules, often with yield or stop signs in place. Reduce speed, be prepared to stop, and give way according to the road layout and any signs.

Question 23Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A white arrow painted in your lane points straight ahead, but you intend to turn right at the junction. What should you do?

  1. Follow the arrow and change to the correct lane before the junction Correct answer.
  2. Reverse out of the lane and reposition
  3. Stop in the lane and wait for permission to turn
  4. Turn right from the lane anyway if no traffic is near

Explanation

Lane arrows direct the movement permitted from each lane. If you need to turn, you should move into the correctly marked lane in good time rather than turning from a lane reserved for another direction.

Question 24Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a sign with a red border showing a bicycle inside a circle prohibit?

  1. Cyclists riding in the road
  2. Pedestrians walking on the verge
  3. Motorcycles using the cycle path Correct answer.
  4. Cars parking near the sign

Explanation

A red circle is a prohibition, and the symbol inside identifies who or what is barred. A bicycle symbol therefore bans motorcycles and other motor vehicles from the cycle facility, leaving it for cyclists.

Question 25Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A circular blue sign shows a white arrow bending to the right. What does this sign require of you?

  1. Right turn is recommended but optional
  2. Turn right ahead, since blue circles give orders Correct answer.
  3. Right turn is prohibited for motorcycles
  4. There is a sharp bend to the right ahead

Explanation

Blue circular signs in Bermuda follow international practice and give mandatory instructions, not warnings or advice. A white arrow inside one directs traffic to follow that direction, so you must turn right when the sign applies. Warning signs about bends are triangular or diamond-shaped instead.

Question 26Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You see a red circle containing the number 50 painted on a roadside sign. What does it tell you?

  1. Minimum speed you must maintain
  2. Distance of 50 metres to the junction
  3. Advisory speed for the bend ahead
  4. Maximum speed permitted in km/h Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered circle with a numeral is a regulatory speed limit sign, and the figure gives the maximum legal speed in kilometres per hour. You may travel slower when conditions demand it. Advisory speeds appear on warning signs and distances are shown differently.

Question 27Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A traffic light shows a steady red light together with a steady green arrow pointing straight ahead. What may you lawfully do?

  1. Proceed straight, yielding to traffic already in the junction Correct answer.
  2. Proceed in any direction you choose
  3. Wait until the full green light appears
  4. Turn right only after stopping completely

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction the arrow points, even while the main light stays red. You may proceed straight ahead but must still give way to vehicles and pedestrians already lawfully in the junction. Other directions remain prohibited until their own signal appears.

Question 28Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a flashing red light at a junction require you to do?

  1. Wait for a green light before moving at all
  2. Treat the junction as having priority over cross traffic
  3. Slow down and continue without stopping
  4. Stop completely, then proceed when it is safe Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing red signal is treated like a stop sign: you must come to a full stop and then proceed only when the way is clear and safe. It does not give you priority over cross traffic. Unlike a steady red, it does not require you to wait for a green light.

Question 29Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A sign shows a white triangle with a red border containing a symbol of two children. What is the sign telling you?

  1. A school or playground area is ahead, so slow down Correct answer.
  2. You must stop and wait for a guard
  3. Children are prohibited from crossing here
  4. A pedestrian zone begins immediately

Explanation

Red-bordered triangles are warning signs, and the children symbol warns of a school, playground or area where children may be in the road. The correct response is to reduce speed and be ready to stop. It does not create a prohibition or a compulsory stop.

Question 30Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are riding at night and the road markings are hard to see. Which feature best helps you follow the edge of the carriageway?

  1. The colour of the road surface
  2. The centre line only
  3. The painted arrows in your lane
  4. Roadside reflector posts and edge markings Correct answer.

Explanation

Reflector posts and edge markings are designed to catch headlights and outline the carriageway in darkness or poor visibility. They show where the road edge runs when painted lines fade. Centre lines and lane arrows give guidance but do not reliably mark the outer edge.

Question 31Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A supplementary plate below a regulatory sign shows a motorcycle symbol and the words 'except motorcycles'. What does this mean?

  1. Motorcycles must stop before the sign
  2. Motorcycles are exempt from the restriction above Correct answer.
  3. The restriction applies only to motorcycles
  4. Motorcycles must use a different route

Explanation

Supplementary plates modify the sign above them, and the word 'except' creates an exemption for the vehicle shown. Motorcycles may therefore ignore the restriction that the main sign imposes on other traffic. The plate does not impose a new duty on riders.

Question 32Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a hatched area bounded by solid white lines in the centre of the road mean?

  1. A pedestrian refuge you may ride across
  2. A parking area for motorcycles
  3. A lane reserved for overtaking
  4. A zone you should not enter except in an emergency Correct answer.

Explanation

Diagonal white hatching bordered by solid lines marks an area that traffic should keep out of, typically to separate opposing streams or protect turning vehicles. You should not ride or drive over it except in an emergency. It is not a parking or overtaking area.

Question 33Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A sign shows a red circle with a red diagonal slash through a symbol of a motorcycle. What does it mean?

  1. Motorcycles must use the lane on the left
  2. Motorcycle parking ahead
  3. Motorcycles only beyond this point
  4. No entry for motorcycles Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash is the standard prohibition symbol, and the vehicle shown inside is the one banned. Here motorcycles are prohibited from proceeding past the sign. A blue circle would instead indicate a route reserved for the vehicle shown.

Question 34Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You approach a junction where the traffic light is green but the exit beyond the junction is blocked by queued traffic. What should you do?

  1. Enter the junction and wait in the middle
  2. Ride around the queue on the pavement
  3. Stay behind the stop line until the exit is clear Correct answer.
  4. Sound your horn until the traffic moves

Explanation

Even with a green light you should not enter a junction unless you can clear it, because stopping in the box blocks cross traffic and pedestrians. Waiting behind the stop line keeps the junction open. A green light permits movement but does not override this duty.

Question 35Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What does a single broken white line painted across your lane at a junction indicate?

  1. A give way line where you must yield Correct answer.
  2. A line marking the start of a bus stop
  3. A boundary of a parking bay
  4. A stop line requiring a complete stop

Explanation

A broken white line across the lane is a give way line, meaning you must yield to traffic on the road you are joining. A solid white line in the same position is a stop line requiring a complete halt. The two are distinguished by whether the line is broken or continuous.

Question 36Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A yellow box junction with diagonal criss-cross lines is painted at an intersection. How should you use it?

  1. Enter only if your exit is clear, except when turning right and blocked by oncoming traffic Correct answer.
  2. Avoid the box entirely at all times
  3. Use the box as a waiting area when traffic is heavy
  4. Always stop inside the box while waiting for the light

Explanation

A yellow box marks an area to be kept clear so cross traffic can flow. You may enter only when your exit is clear, with the usual exception that a right-turning rider may wait in the box when blocked by oncoming traffic. Stopping in the box otherwise obstructs the junction.

Question 37Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

What is indicated by a sign showing a white arrow pointing down and to the left inside a blue circle?

  1. One-way street begins on the left
  2. Left turn prohibited
  3. Keep left of the obstruction ahead Correct answer.
  4. Sharp left bend ahead

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a downward diagonal arrow directs traffic to pass a traffic island or obstruction on the side the arrow indicates. Here you must keep to the left of the feature ahead. It is an instruction about position, not a warning of a bend.

Question 38Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

You are riding in the left lane of a dual carriageway and see a solid white line separating your lane from the lane on your right. What does this mean?

  1. You may change lanes whenever you signal
  2. The line marks the edge of the carriageway
  3. You should not cross the line except in limited circumstances Correct answer.
  4. The right lane is reserved for buses

Explanation

A solid white line between lanes discourages lane changes and may only be crossed in limited situations, such as avoiding a stationary hazard or when directed. Signalling does not by itself make crossing lawful. Broken lines are used where lane changes are permitted freely.

Question 39Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

A warning sign shows a symbol of a traffic signal with a red light illuminated. What does this warn you about?

  1. The signals ahead are permanently out of order
  2. A red light camera is installed here
  3. Traffic lights ahead, so be prepared to stop Correct answer.
  4. You must stop immediately at the sign

Explanation

A warning triangle containing a traffic signal symbol tells you that signal-controlled traffic lies ahead, often where it is not visible from a distance. You should adjust speed and be ready to stop if the light shows red. The sign itself does not order an immediate stop.

Question 40Traffic Signs, Signals and Road Markings

At a junction controlled by traffic lights, the signals fail and no officer is present. How should you decide priority?

  1. Whoever arrives first always goes first
  2. Sound your horn and proceed without slowing
  3. Apply the normal give way rules, yielding to traffic on your right where applicable Correct answer.
  4. The wider road always has priority

Explanation

When signals fail, the junction reverts to ordinary priority rules, so you must approach slowly and yield as you would at an uncontrolled junction. In Bermuda, traffic already on the main road or approaching from your right generally has priority. Arrival order and road width alone do not settle priority.

Question 41Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

On a two-lane road in Bermuda, which side must you ride your motorcycle on?

  1. The left side, in the direction of travel Correct answer.
  2. The right side, in the direction of travel
  3. The centre of the road so you are visible
  4. Either side, whichever is clearer

Explanation

Bermuda follows left-hand traffic, so every vehicle including motorcycles must travel on the left half of the roadway in its direction of travel. Keeping to the right side would place you head-on against oncoming traffic. Ride consistently on the left unless a one-way system or lane marking directs otherwise.

Question 42Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

You are approaching a roundabout and intend to take the second exit (straight ahead). What is the correct procedure?

  1. Enter without checking and signal left immediately
  2. Signal right on approach and keep signalling right until you leave
  3. Give way to traffic already circulating, then proceed with no signal until you signal left to exit Correct answer.
  4. Stop completely at the entry line even if the roundabout is clear

Explanation

At a roundabout you must give way to traffic already on the circulatory carriageway. For an intermediate exit such as the second one, no signal is needed on approach; you signal left only as you pass the exit before yours. Stopping when the way is clear disrupts traffic flow unnecessarily.

Question 43Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

At an unmarked crossroads where two roads of equal importance meet, who has the right of way?

  1. The driver who arrives first, and if simultaneous, the driver on the right Correct answer.
  2. Always the vehicle travelling fastest
  3. The driver who sounds the horn first
  4. Always the larger vehicle

Explanation

Where no signs or markings give priority, the general rule is that you give way to traffic approaching from your right. If two vehicles arrive at the same moment, the one on the right proceeds first. Vehicle size and speed do not confer priority.

Question 44Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

A pedestrian is already crossing the road at a marked pedestrian crossing. What must you do?

  1. Slow down and steer around behind the pedestrian
  2. Sound your horn to hurry the pedestrian along
  3. Continue if you can pass before reaching the crossing
  4. Stop and wait until the pedestrian has cleared your path Correct answer.

Explanation

At a marked crossing you must give way to pedestrians already on the crossing and allow them to cross safely. You should stop before the crossing markings rather than trying to pass around or behind the person. Revving or sounding the horn at someone on a crossing is intimidating and unsafe.

Question 45Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

An emergency vehicle approaches from behind with flashing blue lights and a siren. What should you do?

  1. Speed up to stay ahead of it
  2. Move to the right and continue at the same speed
  3. Pull over safely to the left and stop until it has passed Correct answer.
  4. Brake sharply in your lane and stop immediately

Explanation

You must make way for emergency vehicles on an emergency call. The safe response is to check your mirrors, signal, and pull over to the left as soon as it is safe, then stop until the vehicle has passed. Sudden braking in the lane can cause a rear-end collision.

Question 46Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

What is the correct behaviour when a school bus has stopped with its red lights flashing and children are boarding or alighting?

  1. Sound your horn and continue
  2. Pass slowly on the left if no children are visible
  3. Stop in both directions until the red lights stop flashing Correct answer.
  4. Pass on the right at normal speed

Explanation

When a school bus displays flashing red lights, traffic in both directions must stop to protect children who may cross the road. You may only proceed once the red lights are switched off. Passing while children are loading or unloading endangers them.

Question 47Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

You are riding behind a large truck that is about to turn left. Why should you avoid passing on its left side?

  1. Trucks are not permitted to turn left
  2. Passing on the left is only banned at night
  3. The truck will always stop before turning
  4. The truck may swing wide or cut the corner, and its driver may not see you Correct answer.

Explanation

Large vehicles need extra road space to turn and may swing out in the opposite direction before completing the turn. A rider tucked alongside on the inside can be crushed against the kerb or struck. Because of blind spots, the truck driver may never see you there.

Question 48Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

When may you legally overtake another vehicle on the left?

  1. At any time, provided you sound the horn
  2. Whenever the vehicle ahead is travelling below the speed limit
  3. Only when the vehicle ahead signals you to pass
  4. When the road ahead is clear, the overtaking lane is available, and no sign or line forbids it Correct answer.

Explanation

Overtaking is permitted only when you have a clear view, enough space, and no solid line or sign prohibits it. You must be able to complete the manoeuvre and return safely without forcing others to change course. A slow vehicle ahead does not by itself authorise passing.

Question 49Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

A solid white line runs along the centre of the road. What does it mean for overtaking?

  1. It marks the edge of a parking area
  2. It only applies to cars, not motorcycles
  3. You must not cross or straddle it to overtake Correct answer.
  4. You may cross it whenever traffic is light

Explanation

A continuous centre line means you must keep to your side and must not cross or straddle it to pass. It is placed where visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe. A broken line, by contrast, may be crossed when it is safe to do so.

Question 50Rules of the Road and Right-of-Way

You are joining a main road from a side road. Who must you give way to?

  1. No one, if you have already stopped
  2. Only cars, because they are heavier
  3. Traffic already on the main road, including cyclists and motorcyclists Correct answer.
  4. Only vehicles approaching from your left

Explanation

When emerging from a side road you must give way to all traffic already on the main road, whatever its size or type. That includes bicycles and motorcycles, which are easy to overlook. Stopping does not give you priority to enter.
