Question 1Road signs, signals and road markings

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

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

Explanation

In the Brunei Highway Code circular signs with red borders convey prohibitions and restrictions, such as speed limits or no-entry rules. The red ring signals that a rule must be obeyed. Warning signs instead use triangular shapes, and mandatory signs are usually blue circles.

Question 2Road signs, signals and road markings

A triangular sign with a red border is used on Brunei roads to do what?

  1. Give an order that must be followed
  2. Mark the edge of a parking zone
  3. Warn of a hazard or danger ahead Correct answer.
  4. Show the name of the next town

Explanation

Triangular signs with red borders are warning signs. They alert drivers to hazards such as bends, junctions, or pedestrian crossings so that speed and attention can be adjusted in good time. They do not impose a legal order by themselves.

Question 3Road signs, signals and road markings

What do blue circular signs on Brunei roads normally show?

  1. A prohibition
  2. A temporary diversion
  3. A mandatory instruction Correct answer.
  4. A hazard warning

Explanation

Blue circular signs give positive instructions that must be carried out, for example a direction to turn or a route reserved for a particular class of vehicle. They differ from red-ringed circles, which forbid an action. The colour and shape together make the instruction recognisable at a glance.

Question 4Road signs, signals and road markings

A red traffic light is showing at a junction. What must a driver do?

  1. Slow down and proceed if the road looks clear
  2. Stop only if pedestrians are crossing
  3. Sound the horn and continue
  4. Stop behind the stop line and wait Correct answer.

Explanation

A red light is a mandatory signal to stop. The vehicle must halt behind the stop line or, if there is none, before the crossing area, and remain stationary until the light changes. Proceeding on red is an offence even when the road appears empty.

Question 5Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a steady amber traffic light mean for a driver approaching the junction?

  1. Proceed because amber means go
  2. Wait for a green arrow before moving
  3. Stop unless it is unsafe to do so Correct answer.
  4. Speed up to clear the junction quickly

Explanation

A steady amber light warns that the signal is about to turn red. The driver should stop, unless the vehicle is so close to the line that stopping could cause a collision. Treating amber as a signal to accelerate is dangerous and contrary to the code.

Question 6Road signs, signals and road markings

A flashing amber light at a pedestrian crossing means a driver should do what?

  1. Reverse away from the crossing
  2. Proceed only if the crossing is clear of pedestrians Correct answer.
  3. Stop and wait until the light turns green
  4. Stop for exactly ten seconds

Explanation

At a flashing amber signal the driver may proceed but must give way to any pedestrian still on the crossing. The flashing phase follows the red phase and allows traffic to resume once people have finished crossing. Drivers must still be ready to stop.

Question 7Road signs, signals and road markings

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

  1. Only motorcycles may cross the lines
  2. Neither line may be crossed by moving traffic Correct answer.
  3. Overtaking is permitted if the road is clear
  4. The lines may be crossed to enter a driveway

Explanation

A double solid white line marks a boundary that moving traffic must not cross. It is used where visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe. Drivers may only cross such a line where a specific exception, such as access to premises, is clearly signed.

Question 8Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a broken white line in the centre of the road indicate?

  1. A line showing a no-parking zone
  2. A line that must never be crossed
  3. A line that may be crossed when it is safe Correct answer.
  4. A line marking a bus-only lane

Explanation

A broken white centre line separates traffic and may be crossed when it is safe to do so, for example when overtaking or turning. The gaps in the line indicate that crossing is permitted. This contrasts with continuous lines, which restrict crossing.

Question 9Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a STOP sign require a driver to do?

  1. Slow down and continue if nothing is coming
  2. Stop completely at the line and give way Correct answer.
  3. Stop after passing the junction
  4. Stop only when a vehicle is visible

Explanation

A STOP sign requires a complete halt at the stop line, after which the driver gives way to traffic on the road being entered. It is not enough to slow down and check. The stop must be made even when the road appears empty.

Question 10Road signs, signals and road markings

At an unmarked crossroads in Brunei, which vehicle should be given priority?

  1. The vehicle approaching from the right Correct answer.
  2. The largest vehicle
  3. The vehicle that sounds its horn first
  4. The vehicle travelling fastest

Explanation

Where no signs or markings give priority at a crossroads, drivers should give way to traffic approaching from the right. This rule provides a predictable order of movement. If in doubt, a driver should slow down and be prepared to stop.

Question 11Road signs, signals and road markings

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

  1. End of a restriction
  2. Give way to oncoming traffic
  3. No parking at any time
  4. No entry for vehicles Correct answer.

Explanation

The red circle containing a white horizontal bar is the no-entry sign. It indicates that vehicles must not proceed past the sign, often because the road is one-way against them. The sign is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street.

Question 12Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a 'Give Way' sign at a junction. What is the correct action?

  1. Stop completely before proceeding
  2. Accelerate to join the main road quickly
  3. Slow down and give priority to traffic on the main road Correct answer.
  4. Wait until a traffic officer signals

Explanation

A Give Way sign requires the driver to slow down, look, and yield to traffic already on the road being joined. A full stop is needed only if traffic requires it. Unlike a STOP sign, a complete halt is not mandatory when the road is clear.

Question 13Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a yellow box junction marking require a driver to do?

  1. Enter the box only if the exit is clear Correct answer.
  2. Stop inside the box while waiting
  3. Park inside the box briefly
  4. Avoid using the box at all times

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to keep a junction clear of queuing traffic. A driver may enter the box only if the exit road is clear enough to leave it, except when turning right and blocked only by oncoming traffic. Waiting inside the box blocks cross traffic.

Question 14Road signs, signals and road markings

A broken yellow line along the edge of the carriageway is used to indicate what?

  1. The edge of a pedestrian zone
  2. A ban on stopping at any time
  3. A waiting restriction that applies at certain times Correct answer.
  4. A lane reserved for buses

Explanation

A broken yellow line at the kerb indicates that waiting is restricted, usually during specified times shown on nearby signs. It differs from a continuous yellow line, which generally means no waiting at any time. Drivers should check the accompanying plate for the exact hours.

Question 15Road 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 separate opposing streams of traffic and keep them apart Correct answer.
  2. To show where pedestrians should walk
  3. To mark a place where overtaking is encouraged
  4. To provide parking space for delivery vehicles

Explanation

Hatched markings bounded by solid white lines separate opposing traffic and protect turning space. Drivers should not enter the hatched area except in an emergency. Where the boundary line is broken, entry may be permitted when safe.

Question 16Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction where a traffic officer is directing traffic with a raised arm. What should the driver do?

  1. Sound the horn to ask for clarification
  2. Obey the officer's signal over the traffic lights Correct answer.
  3. Wait for the officer to lower the arm before slowing
  4. Continue because the green light is showing

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer or authorised traffic officer take precedence over traffic lights and signs. A raised arm typically means traffic must stop. Drivers must follow the officer's signals even if the lights show otherwise.

Question 17Road signs, signals and road markings

A green arrow pointing left is showing at a traffic light. What does it permit?

  1. Movement in all directions if the road is clear
  2. Any movement through the junction
  3. A U-turn to the left
  4. A left turn only, after giving way where required Correct answer.

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction shown. Other movements remain controlled by their own signals. A driver turning left under the arrow should still give way to pedestrians and any traffic with priority.

Question 18Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a sign showing a pedestrian in a red triangle warn a driver about?

  1. A footpath closed to the public
  2. A no-walking zone
  3. A school bus stop
  4. A pedestrian crossing ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

A triangular sign with a pedestrian symbol warns of a pedestrian crossing or a place where pedestrians are likely to be in the road. The driver should reduce speed and be ready to stop. The warning triangle indicates a hazard rather than an order.

Question 19Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is approaching a bend marked by a warning sign showing a curve to the right. What is the safest response?

  1. Sound the horn continuously through the bend
  2. Maintain speed and stay in the centre of the road
  3. Reduce speed before the bend and keep to the left Correct answer.
  4. Overtake any slower vehicle before the curve

Explanation

The warning sign alerts the driver to a bend where visibility may be limited. The safe response is to slow down before entering the bend and keep well to the left of the carriageway. Overtaking on a blind bend is dangerous and often prohibited by markings.

Question 20Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a rectangular blue sign showing a white bicycle symbol mean?

  1. Cyclists are prohibited from the route
  2. Cyclists must give way to all traffic
  3. Bicycle parking is available ahead
  4. A route or lane is designated for cyclists Correct answer.

Explanation

A blue rectangular sign with a bicycle symbol designates a route or lane for cyclists. Drivers should expect cyclists there and must not obstruct the facility. Prohibition of cyclists would instead be shown by a red-ringed circular sign.

Question 21Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver wants to turn right at a junction but a solid white line separates the right-turn lane from the through lane. What should the driver do?

  1. Reverse to find a gap in the line
  2. Wait for a broken section or follow the marked lane entry Correct answer.
  3. Cross the line while sounding the horn
  4. Cross the line at any point before the junction

Explanation

A solid white line should not be crossed except where the markings permit it. Drivers needing to change lanes should do so where the line is broken or at the designated entry to the turning lane. Planning the approach early avoids a late and unsafe manoeuvre.

Question 22Road signs, signals and road markings

At a signal-controlled junction, the lights change to green but the exit road beyond the junction is blocked by queuing traffic. What should the driver do?

  1. Reverse away from the stop line
  2. Stay behind the stop line until the exit is clear Correct answer.
  3. Move forward and use the opposite lane
  4. Enter the junction and wait across it

Explanation

Even on a green light, a driver should not enter a junction if the exit is blocked, because doing so would obstruct cross traffic when the signals change. The driver should wait behind the stop line until there is room to clear the junction completely. This keeps the intersection free.

Question 23Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver passes a sign showing a red circle with a diagonal bar over a horn symbol. What does this require?

  1. Horn use is required when entering the zone
  2. Horn use is encouraged to warn pedestrians
  3. Horn use is prohibited except in immediate danger Correct answer.
  4. Horn use is permitted only at night

Explanation

The sign prohibits the use of the horn, typically near hospitals, schools, or quiet zones. A brief warning may still be justified to avoid immediate danger, but routine sounding is not allowed. The diagonal red bar indicates that the action shown is forbidden.

Question 24Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a white arrow painted on the road surface pointing straight ahead while in a lane marked for left turns. What does the arrow indicate?

  1. The driver may turn left or go straight
  2. The arrow overrides any overhead signs
  3. The lane is for straight-ahead traffic only Correct answer.
  4. The lane is closed to all traffic

Explanation

Arrows painted on the carriageway show the direction permitted from that lane. Where the arrow points straight ahead, traffic in that lane should continue straight and not turn. Drivers should choose the correct lane early, guided by both road markings and signs.

Question 25Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a level crossing where a red light is flashing and a barrier is lowering. What is the correct action?

  1. Proceed slowly while the barrier is moving
  2. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and the barrier is raised Correct answer.
  3. Drive around the barrier if the train is far away
  4. Stop only if a train is visible

Explanation

At a level crossing, flashing red lights and a lowering barrier mean a train is approaching. The driver must stop and wait until the lights cease and the barrier is fully raised. Attempting to pass is extremely dangerous and may be fatal.

Question 26Road signs, signals and road markings

A circular sign has a red border and shows the number 50 in black on a white background. What does this sign tell a driver?

  1. The maximum permitted speed on this road is 50 Correct answer.
  2. A speed hump begins 50 metres ahead
  3. The road ahead is 50 metres from the next junction
  4. The minimum permitted speed on this road is 50

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a regulatory prohibition sign, and the number inside states the limit that must not be exceeded. The figure is a speed in the units used locally, not a distance. Drivers must keep their speed at or below the figure shown until another sign changes it.

Question 27Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a triangular warning sign containing a symbol of two children running. What hazard should the driver expect?

  1. A pedestrian zone where driving is prohibited
  2. A school bus stop where vehicles must halt
  3. A playground that is closed to vehicles at all times
  4. Children likely to be crossing or near the road ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border give warning of a hazard ahead, and the symbol inside identifies the hazard. Running children indicate a school, playground or similar area where children may step into the road. The correct response is to slow down and be ready to stop.

Question 28Road signs, signals and road markings

A traffic light shows a single amber light on its own, with no red or green light lit. What must a driver do?

  1. Reverse away from the junction to clear the stop line
  2. Sound the horn and proceed through the junction
  3. Stop, unless it is unsafe to do so because the vehicle is too close to the line Correct answer.
  4. Continue at the same speed because amber gives priority

Explanation

A steady amber light means the signal is about to turn red, so a driver must prepare to stop. The exception is when the vehicle is already so close to the stop line that stopping sharply would be dangerous. In that case the driver should continue carefully through.

Question 29Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a solid white line along the left edge of the carriageway normally mark?

  1. The centre line dividing opposing traffic streams
  2. The edge of the carriageway, separating it from the verge or shoulder Correct answer.
  3. A lane reserved only for buses
  4. The boundary of a parking bay

Explanation

An edge line defines the outer limit of the carriageway so drivers can judge their position, especially in poor light or rain. Beyond it lies the verge, shoulder or footway rather than a running lane. Drivers should keep within the line unless there is a specific reason to pull off the road.

Question 30Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction controlled by traffic lights and sees a blue circular sign showing a white arrow pointing left. What does this sign require?

  1. Give way to traffic coming from the left
  2. Keep left of the traffic island ahead
  3. Turn left only, in the direction shown Correct answer.
  4. Turn left ahead is prohibited

Explanation

Blue circular signs give a positive instruction, and an arrow inside one directs traffic to follow that direction. Here the instruction is to turn left and no other way. This differs from a red-bordered circle, which prohibits the movement shown.

Question 31Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is in a lane marked with a white bicycle symbol and the word BUS, and the lane is bounded by a solid white line during the morning peak. What does this mean for the driver of a private car?

  1. The lane may be used freely at all times
  2. The lane may be used only when overtaking a bus
  3. The lane is reserved for the classes shown during the stated hours and must be avoided then Correct answer.
  4. The lane is a cycle track that cars may never enter

Explanation

Lane markings and accompanying signs identify which classes of vehicle may use a reserved lane and when the restriction applies. Outside those hours other vehicles may normally use it. During the restricted period a private car should stay out of the lane unless signs permit entry.

Question 32Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a red-bordered circular sign showing a car and a motorcycle side by side. What is the effect of this sign?

  1. Cars must carry at least two people to use the road
  2. Motorcycles must use a separate track beside the road
  3. Vehicles must reduce speed to 30 before the sign
  4. Motor vehicles are prohibited from proceeding beyond the sign Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with no diagonal bar still imposes a prohibition on the class of traffic shown inside it. Where both a car and a motorcycle appear, the restriction applies to motor vehicles generally. The driver must not pass the sign in that vehicle.

Question 33Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is waiting at a red light and a green filter arrow pointing straight ahead appears while the main light stays red. What may the driver do?

  1. Reverse to allow following traffic past
  2. Proceed straight ahead, giving way to any traffic already in the junction Correct answer.
  3. Wait until the main light turns green before moving
  4. Turn right because the arrow overrides the red light

Explanation

A green filter arrow permits movement only in the direction the arrow points, even while the main signal remains red. The driver may go straight but must still yield to traffic already lawfully in the junction. Movements in other directions remain prohibited until their own signal allows them.

Question 34Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a rectangular sign with a blue background showing a white letter P. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A police checkpoint ahead
  2. A parking place where parking is permitted Correct answer.
  3. A pedestrian crossing point
  4. A prohibited area for all vehicles

Explanation

Rectangular blue signs give information, and the letter P is the standard symbol for parking. The sign marks a place where parking is allowed, often subject to conditions shown on plates beneath it. Drivers should read any supplementary plate for time limits or charges.

Question 35Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction and sees a broken white line across the mouth of a side road, together with a give-way sign. What does the broken line mean?

  1. Traffic on the side road has priority over the main road
  2. Drivers on the side road must give way and may cross the line when it is safe Correct answer.
  3. The side road is closed to traffic beyond the line
  4. Vehicles must stop completely for three seconds at the line

Explanation

A broken transverse line at a junction marks the give-way point on the minor road. Drivers approaching it must yield to traffic on the road they are joining and cross only when there is a safe gap. A solid transverse line paired with a stop sign would require a complete stop instead.

Question 36Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a warning sign showing a steep hill with a downward slope and a percentage figure. How should the driver respond?

  1. Increase speed to carry momentum down the slope
  2. Select a lower gear and control speed with engine braking before the descent Correct answer.
  3. Switch off the engine to save fuel on the descent
  4. Move to the centre of the road to avoid the gradient

Explanation

A steep descent sign warns that the gradient could cause a vehicle to gain speed quickly and overload the brakes. The safe technique is to reduce speed before the slope and use a lower gear so the engine helps control the vehicle. Brakes should be used gently and intermittently rather than held continuously.

Question 37Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a diagonal bar over a symbol of a lorry overtaking a car. What does this sign mean?

  1. Lorries must keep to the left lane at all times
  2. Overtaking by goods vehicles over the stated weight is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. Cars may not overtake lorries on this road
  4. A lorry park is available ahead

Explanation

The red circle with a diagonal bar is a prohibition, and the symbol identifies the banned manoeuvre and the class of vehicle affected. Here goods vehicles above the weight shown on the plate may not overtake. Other vehicles are not restricted by this particular sign.

Question 38Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches roadworks where a temporary sign shows a red circle with a white arrow bending to the right around an obstacle. How should the driver interpret this?

  1. Pass the obstacle on the right-hand side as directed Correct answer.
  2. The road is closed and the driver must turn back
  3. Right turns are prohibited at the next junction
  4. Traffic must merge right into a single lane permanently

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a bending arrow directs traffic to pass an obstacle on the side the arrow indicates. Temporary versions at roadworks use the same principle to keep traffic clear of works. The driver should follow the arrow while watching for workers and narrow lanes.

Question 39Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a yellow box junction ahead and the exit beyond it is clear, but the traffic light turns red while the vehicle is still approaching the box. What is the correct action?

  1. Drive around the box using the opposing lane
  2. Enter the box and stop inside it to wait for green
  3. Stop before the box and enter only when the exit is clear and the signal permits Correct answer.
  4. Enter the box slowly and reverse out if the exit becomes blocked

Explanation

A yellow box marking must not be entered unless the exit road is clear, and a red signal independently requires the driver to stop. Waiting before the box keeps the junction free for crossing traffic. Entering on red would breach the signal and could block the junction.

Question 40Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a broken white line with long marks and short gaps separating two lanes running in the same direction on a dual carriageway. What does this marking indicate?

  1. Lane changing is discouraged and the line warns of a hazard ahead Correct answer.
  2. The left-hand lane ends immediately
  3. Lanes may be crossed freely at any point
  4. The right-hand lane is reserved for overtaking only

Explanation

Hazard warning lines use longer marks with shorter gaps than ordinary lane lines to alert drivers to a risk such as a junction or bend. Crossing them is permitted but should be done with care after checking mirrors and blind spots. They are advisory rather than a strict prohibition.

Question 41Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

At an unmarked crossroads in Brunei with no signs or road markings, which vehicle should be given way to?

  1. The vehicle approaching from your right Correct answer.
  2. The vehicle approaching from your left
  3. The larger of the two vehicles
  4. The vehicle travelling fastest

Explanation

Where no signs, signals or markings control a junction, the general rule is to give way to traffic approaching from your right. You should slow down and be ready to stop for that vehicle. Never assume the other driver will stop for you.

Question 42Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

You are turning right at a junction and a vehicle is coming towards you going straight ahead. What should you do?

  1. Sound your horn and continue turning
  2. Edge forward and force the other vehicle to stop
  3. Turn quickly in front of the oncoming vehicle
  4. Wait until the oncoming vehicle has passed, then complete your turn Correct answer.

Explanation

When turning right you cross the path of oncoming traffic, so you must give way to vehicles going straight on or turning left. Wait for a safe gap before completing the turn. Forcing your way through risks a collision and is an offence.

Question 43Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

What does a steady red traffic light mean for you?

  1. Slow down and continue if the road looks clear
  2. Stop only if other vehicles are present
  3. Proceed with caution after sounding your horn
  4. Stop and wait behind the stop line until the light changes Correct answer.

Explanation

A red light requires you to stop completely and remain behind the stop line or crossing. You may only proceed when the signal allows, such as a green light or a green arrow for your direction. Continuing through red is dangerous and illegal.

Question 44Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

A police officer is directing traffic at a junction and signals you to stop, while the traffic light shows green. What should you do?

  1. Obey the police officer and stop Correct answer.
  2. Stop only if other drivers also stop
  3. Ignore the officer and drive on through the green light
  4. Proceed slowly while avoiding eye contact

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer on traffic duty override normal signals and road markings. If the officer signals you to stop, you must stop even if the light is green. Follow the officer's instructions calmly and predictably.

Question 45Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

When approaching a pedestrian crossing where someone is waiting to cross, what must you do?

  1. Accelerate to pass before the pedestrian steps out
  2. Slow down and be prepared to stop to let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  3. Sound your horn so the pedestrian waits
  4. Change lanes and continue at the same speed

Explanation

Drivers must give way to pedestrians on or waiting at a marked crossing. Approach at a speed that lets you stop safely and allow the person to cross. Failing to give way endangers pedestrians and is an offence.

Question 46Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

You are joining a main road from a side road. Who has priority?

  1. Traffic already on the main road Correct answer.
  2. Whichever vehicle sounds its horn first
  3. The vehicle with more passengers
  4. You, because you are entering the road

Explanation

When emerging from a side road, give way to traffic already on the main road. Stop at the junction if necessary and wait for a safe gap. Emerging into the path of another vehicle causes many collisions.

Question 47Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

What must you do before moving off from a parked position at the kerb?

  1. Rely on other drivers to slow down for you
  2. Signal and pull out immediately into the flow of traffic
  3. Check mirrors and blind spot, signal, and move off only when it is safe Correct answer.
  4. Move off without checking because you have priority

Explanation

Before pulling away you must check your mirrors and blind spot, signal your intention, and wait until the way is clear. Traffic already on the road has priority over a vehicle moving off. Pulling out without checking can cause a collision.

Question 48Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

At a roundabout, who normally has priority?

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

Explanation

At a roundabout you give way to traffic coming from your right that is already on the roundabout, unless signs or markings say otherwise. Wait for a safe gap before entering. Entering into the path of circulating traffic causes collisions.

Question 49Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

You intend to turn left at a junction where pedestrians are crossing the road you are entering. What should you do?

  1. Turn at speed to get ahead of them
  2. Sound your horn and steer around them
  3. Wait for the pedestrians to finish crossing before turning Correct answer.
  4. Drive through slowly and expect them to stop

Explanation

When turning into a road you must give way to pedestrians who are already crossing it. Wait until they have cleared your path before completing the turn. Cutting across pedestrians is dangerous and breaches the give-way rule.

Question 50Traffic rules, right of way and intersections

Two vehicles arrive at the same time at a T-junction where the side road has a give-way line. A vehicle on the side road wants to turn onto the through road. What is the correct action?

  1. Both vehicles edge forward together
  2. The side-road vehicle proceeds because it arrived first
  3. The side-road vehicle waits until the through-road vehicle has passed Correct answer.
  4. The through-road vehicle stops to let the side-road vehicle out

Explanation

A give-way line places the duty to yield on the vehicle leaving the side road. It must wait for a safe gap and let traffic on the through road pass. The through-road driver is entitled to continue without stopping.
