Question 1Road signs, signals and road markings

On a Fiji road, a circular sign with a red border and a white background showing a black numeral is best described as which type of sign?

  1. A temporary guide sign for a detour
  2. A warning sign about a hazard ahead
  3. An information sign showing a route number
  4. A regulatory sign giving a speed limit Correct answer.

Explanation

Circular signs with a red border carry orders that drivers must obey, and when the symbol inside is a numeral it sets the maximum legal speed. Warning signs in Fiji are generally triangular or diamond-shaped with a yellow background, while guide and information signs are rectangular. The red ring is the key cue that the instruction is mandatory.

Question 2Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches an intersection where a uniformed police officer is directing traffic with hand signals while the traffic lights show green. Whose instruction must the driver follow?

  1. The road marking stop line
  2. The vehicle immediately ahead
  3. The traffic light signal
  4. The police officer's signals Correct answer.

Explanation

When a police officer or authorised traffic controller is directing traffic, their signals override both traffic lights and static signs. Drivers must obey the officer even when the light shows green, because the officer is responding to conditions the signals cannot detect. Following the light instead could cause a collision with traffic the officer is holding or releasing.

Question 3Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a solid yellow line painted along the centre of a two-way road mean for a driver?

  1. Overtaking is permitted when the road ahead is clear
  2. You may cross it only to enter a driveway
  3. You must not cross it to overtake another vehicle Correct answer.
  4. It marks the edge of a bus stop zone

Explanation

A continuous centre line, including a solid yellow line, tells drivers they must keep to their own side and must not cross it to overtake. The restriction exists because visibility or road geometry makes overtaking dangerous at that point. You may still cross it where it is legal to turn into or out of a property or side road.

Question 4Road signs, signals and road markings

A triangular sign with a red border and a yellow background showing a symbol of a curving road warns the driver about what?

  1. A bend or curve ahead requiring a speed reduction Correct answer.
  2. A compulsory turn that all traffic must make
  3. A pedestrian crossing immediately after the sign
  4. A one-way street beginning at that point

Explanation

Triangular warning signs alert drivers to a hazard ahead so they can adjust speed and position in good time. A curving arrow indicates that the road bends, and the driver should slow before reaching it. The sign warns rather than orders, so it does not compel a turn.

Question 5Road signs, signals and road markings

At a marked pedestrian crossing, a driver sees a pedestrian waiting on the footpath at the edge of the road. What is the correct action?

  1. Sound the horn and continue at the same speed
  2. Slow down and give way so the pedestrian can cross Correct answer.
  3. Flash the headlights and drive around the pedestrian
  4. Continue because the pedestrian has not stepped onto the road

Explanation

Drivers must give way to pedestrians at marked crossings, and a person waiting at the edge is signalling an intention to cross. The safe response is to slow and stop if necessary so they can cross safely. Sounding the horn or swerving around them creates danger and is not a lawful substitute for giving way.

Question 6Road signs, signals and road markings

A red traffic light showing a steady circle means the driver must do what?

  1. Stop only if a pedestrian is on the crossing
  2. Slow down and proceed if no traffic is coming
  3. Stop before the stop line and wait for green Correct answer.
  4. Treat it as a give-way sign and edge forward

Explanation

A steady red circle is an absolute instruction to stop at the stop line or, if there is none, before the intersection. The driver must remain stopped until the signal changes to green or a lawful arrow appears. Proceeding on red, even when the road looks clear, is an offence and a major collision risk.

Question 7Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the meaning of a broken white line separating two lanes travelling in the same direction?

  1. The line marks the outer edge of the carriageway
  2. Lane changing is prohibited at all times
  3. The lane on the right is reserved for buses
  4. You may change lanes when it is safe to do so Correct answer.

Explanation

A broken or dashed white line between lanes in the same direction permits lane changes provided the manoeuvre is safe and properly signalled. It is a guide rather than a prohibition. Solid white lines, by contrast, discourage or prohibit crossing.

Question 8Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a diagonal red bar across a black symbol. What does this sign tell the driver?

  1. The symbol marks a recommended route
  2. The activity shown is compulsory from that point
  3. The activity or vehicle shown is prohibited Correct answer.
  4. The hazard shown is ahead but avoidable

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash is the standard prohibition format, meaning the manoeuvre or vehicle type shown is not allowed. The symbol inside identifies exactly what is banned. Compulsory instructions appear as blue circles without the slash.

Question 9Road signs, signals and road markings

At a roundabout in Fiji where there are no traffic lights, which vehicle generally has priority?

  1. The vehicle that arrives first at the entry point
  2. The vehicle entering from the left
  3. The vehicle already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.
  4. The largest vehicle approaching the roundabout

Explanation

At an uncontrolled roundabout, traffic already on the circulating carriageway has right of way, and entering drivers must give way. This keeps the roundabout flowing and prevents vehicles from blocking the circulating lane. Drivers should slow on approach and look for a safe gap before entering.

Question 10Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver intends to turn left at a junction and sees a slip lane separated by a broken line. What is the safest and correct procedure?

  1. Stay in the main lane and turn sharply at the junction
  2. Enter the slip lane at speed without checking for pedestrians
  3. Stop in the slip lane and wait for a green light that may not exist
  4. Use the slip lane after checking for pedestrians and traffic, then give way before merging Correct answer.

Explanation

Slip lanes allow a smoother left turn, but the broken line means you may enter when it is safe. You must still check for pedestrians crossing the slip lane and for traffic you will merge with. Entering at speed without observation is the common cause of collisions in slip lanes.

Question 11Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a yellow box junction marking with diagonal cross-hatching mean for a driver?

  1. The box marks a parking area for delivery vehicles
  2. The box shows where overtaking is permitted
  3. You must not enter the box unless your exit is clear Correct answer.
  4. You may stop in the box whenever traffic is heavy

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to keep an intersection clear so crossing traffic is not blocked. Drivers should only enter when they can clear the box without stopping. Waiting on the entry side until there is space ahead prevents gridlock.

Question 12Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a flashing amber light at a pedestrian crossing controlled by signals. What should the driver do?

  1. Sound the horn to warn pedestrians before moving
  2. Stop and wait until the light turns green
  3. Treat it as a red light and remain stationary
  4. Proceed only if the crossing is clear of pedestrians Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing amber signal at a pedestrian crossing means drivers may proceed but must give way to any pedestrian still on the crossing. It places the responsibility on the driver to check that the crossing is clear. Stopping indefinitely would hold up traffic unnecessarily once pedestrians have cleared.

Question 13Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is travelling on a road with a solid white line on the left edge and a broken white centre line. Which statement best describes the correct lane discipline?

  1. The driver should keep left and use the centre line only to overtake when safe Correct answer.
  2. The edge line indicates a lane reserved for overtaking
  3. The driver may use the full width of the road at any time
  4. The driver must drive on the right-hand side of the centre line

Explanation

Fiji drives on the left, so the solid edge line marks the left boundary of your lane while the broken centre line may be crossed to overtake when it is safe. Lane discipline means returning to the left once the overtake is complete. Using the full road width at will would endanger oncoming traffic.

Question 14Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the purpose of a stop line painted across your lane at a junction controlled by a stop sign?

  1. It indicates the start of an overtaking zone
  2. It marks the point where parking becomes legal
  3. It shows where to stop so you can see and be seen before proceeding Correct answer.
  4. It shows where pedestrians must wait to cross

Explanation

The stop line works with the stop sign to fix the exact point where a vehicle must halt. Stopping there gives the driver a clear view of crossing traffic and makes the vehicle visible to others. Drivers must stop at the line, not roll past it into the junction.

Question 15Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing a white horizontal bar on a blue background. What does it require?

  1. Stop completely before proceeding
  2. Give way to traffic on the right
  3. No entry for all vehicles Correct answer.
  4. No parking at any time

Explanation

The no-entry sign is a red circle with a white horizontal bar, often on a blue backing, and it forbids vehicles from entering that road or lane. It is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street. Drivers must find another route rather than proceed past it.

Question 16Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a railway level crossing with a flashing red light and an alarm sounding. What must the driver do?

  1. Slow down and cross if no train is visible
  2. Stop only if a train is within sight
  3. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing and the way is clear Correct answer.
  4. Proceed quickly before the barrier lowers

Explanation

Flashing red lights and an alarm at a level crossing mean a train is approaching, and drivers must stop and remain stopped. Even if no train is visible, the signals indicate danger because sight lines may be limited. Proceeding before the signals stop is extremely dangerous and unlawful.

Question 17Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a blue circular sign with a white arrow pointing straight ahead indicate?

  1. A lane that may be used for parking
  2. A recommended route for heavy vehicles
  3. A compulsory direction of travel Correct answer.
  4. A warning that the road narrows ahead

Explanation

Blue circular signs give positive instructions, and an arrow inside one means traffic must proceed in the direction shown. It is not merely advice; failing to follow it is an offence. Warning signs, by contrast, are triangular and use a yellow background.

Question 18Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is in a lane marked with a white bicycle symbol and a solid white line. What does this marking mean?

  1. Parking is permitted for bicycles in that lane
  2. The lane is for overtaking bicycles only
  3. The lane is reserved for cyclists and other vehicles should keep out Correct answer.
  4. Cyclists may use the whole road at all times

Explanation

A lane marked with a bicycle symbol and bounded by a solid line is a reserved cycle lane. Other vehicles should not enter it except where markings or signs expressly allow, such as when turning across it. Keeping the lane clear protects cyclists who are less visible and more vulnerable.

Question 19Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a black silhouette of children on a yellow triangle. How should the driver respond?

  1. Sound the horn continuously while passing
  2. Reduce speed and watch for children near the road Correct answer.
  3. Maintain speed because the sign applies only during school terms
  4. Stop immediately and wait for a marshal

Explanation

A children warning sign alerts drivers to a school, playground, or area where children may be near the road. The correct response is to slow down and scan carefully, because children can move unpredictably. The sign applies whenever children may be present, not only at set times.

Question 20Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a broken yellow line on their side of the centre line and a solid yellow line on the opposite side. What does this arrangement mean?

  1. Both directions may overtake freely
  2. The driver on the broken-line side may overtake when safe, while the other side may not Correct answer.
  3. The driver on the broken-line side must stop before overtaking
  4. Neither direction may overtake

Explanation

Where two lines of different type run together, each driver obeys the line nearest to them. The broken line permits overtaking when it is safe, while the solid line prohibits it for traffic on that side. This arrangement is used where one direction has better visibility than the other.

Question 21Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction where the traffic lights are dark because of a power failure. What is the correct approach?

  1. Wait at the stop line until power returns
  2. Assume you have priority because you are on the main road
  3. Proceed at normal speed because the lights are not operating
  4. Treat the junction as uncontrolled, slow down and give way as required Correct answer.

Explanation

When signals fail, the junction reverts to the rules for an uncontrolled intersection, so drivers must slow, look, and apply give-way rules. Assuming priority or maintaining speed creates a high risk of collision because other drivers may guess differently. Waiting indefinitely for power would block traffic unnecessarily.

Question 22Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing a black car and a black motorcycle side by side. Which interpretation is correct?

  1. The road ahead is reserved for motorcycles only
  2. Motor vehicles are prohibited from entering that road Correct answer.
  3. Only cars may enter but motorcycles may not
  4. Cars and motorcycles must use separate lanes ahead

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal slash over vehicle symbols is a prohibition sign, and without a slash the circle still frames a restriction on the vehicles shown. Where the symbol shows cars and motorcycles together, both classes are excluded from that route. Other traffic, such as pedestrians or cyclists, may still be permitted if no other sign restricts them.

Question 23Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is following a large truck that blocks the view of a warning sign until it is very close. What is the best defensive response?

  1. Accelerate to pass the truck before the hazard
  2. Move to the centre of the road to see past the truck
  3. Increase following distance so signs and hazards become visible earlier Correct answer.
  4. Assume the truck driver will warn you of any hazard

Explanation

Large vehicles obscure forward vision, so a greater following gap restores the driver's ability to see signs, markings and hazards in time. It also gives room to stop if the truck brakes suddenly. Moving toward the centre line or accelerating into limited visibility increases risk.

Question 24Road signs, signals and road markings

A road has a solid white line on the left edge and a raised traffic island with a keep-left sign at a junction. How should the driver interpret the keep-left sign?

  1. Pass the island on its right side to shorten the turn
  2. Stop at the island and wait for a gap
  3. Ignore the sign if turning right at the junction
  4. Pass the island on its left side as indicated Correct answer.

Explanation

A keep-left sign on a traffic island directs drivers to pass on the left-hand side of the island. It separates opposing streams of traffic and prevents head-on conflicts at junctions. Ignoring it, even when turning, would put the vehicle on the wrong side of the island.

Question 25Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a temporary yellow sign showing a symbol of workers with a flag and a reduced speed plate beneath it. What does this combination require?

  1. The sign applies only to heavy vehicles
  2. The driver must slow to the posted temporary limit and watch for workers Correct answer.
  3. The driver may maintain the normal limit if no workers are visible
  4. The reduced speed applies only outside working hours

Explanation

Temporary signs in roadworks carry the same legal force as permanent signs, and a reduced speed plate sets a mandatory limit. Drivers must comply even if workers are not immediately visible, because plant, excavations or lane closures may still be present. Ignoring the limit endangers both workers and drivers.

Question 26Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a circular sign with a red border and the number 50 in black on a white background. What does this sign require?

  1. A maximum speed of 50 km/h must not be exceeded Correct answer.
  2. A speed limit of 50 km/h that applies only to heavy vehicles
  3. A recommended speed of 50 km/h in wet weather
  4. A minimum speed of 50 km/h must be maintained

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a regulatory prohibition sign, and the number inside it is the maximum legal speed in kilometres per hour. The limit applies to all traffic on that road unless a separate plate states otherwise, and exceeding it is an offence.

Question 27Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a pedestrian crossing marked by broad white stripes across the road, with no traffic signals present. What is the driver's obligation?

  1. Give way to any pedestrian on the crossing and stop if necessary Correct answer.
  2. Slow only if a pedestrian is already on the stripes
  3. Proceed at normal speed because pedestrians must yield to vehicles
  4. Sound the horn to warn pedestrians before continuing

Explanation

Zebra-style stripes without signals place the duty on the driver to give way to pedestrians using the crossing. The driver should approach at a speed that allows a stop and must not move off until the crossing is clear.

Question 28Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a warning sign shaped as an upright triangle with a red border and a symbol of a winding road. What does the shape and colour of this sign tell the driver?

  1. It marks the end of a restricted area
  2. It gives information about a tourist facility
  3. It gives an order that must be obeyed immediately
  4. It warns of a hazard ahead and calls for reduced speed Correct answer.

Explanation

Upright triangles with red borders are warning signs, placed in advance of a hazard so the driver can adjust speed and position. The symbol shows the type of hazard, here a series of bends.

Question 29Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is about to overtake on a two-way road and sees a solid white line running along the centre of the road on the driver's side. What does this line mean?

  1. The driver must not cross or straddle the line to overtake Correct answer.
  2. The driver may cross the line to pass a slow-moving cyclist only
  3. The line marks a lane reserved for buses
  4. Overtaking is permitted if the road ahead looks clear

Explanation

A solid centre line on the driver's side prohibits crossing or straddling it, so overtaking that requires crossing the line is not allowed. The restriction exists because forward visibility or the road layout makes the manoeuvre unsafe.

Question 30Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver waits at a junction controlled by traffic lights and sees a green arrow pointing left alongside a red circle. What may the driver do?

  1. Proceed straight ahead but not turn left
  2. Proceed only in the direction of the arrow, after giving way where required Correct answer.
  3. Wait until the red circle changes to green before moving
  4. Proceed in any direction because one green aspect is showing

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction it points, and other movements remain controlled by the red aspect. Even with the arrow, the driver must check the way is clear and give way where a sign or marking requires it.

Question 31Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a circular blue sign containing a white symbol of a pedestrian and a child on a shared path. What does this sign indicate?

  1. Pedestrians are prohibited from the route
  2. A route that pedestrians and cyclists may share Correct answer.
  3. A school crossing patrol point
  4. A pedestrian zone closed to motor vehicles at all times

Explanation

Blue circles give positive instructions, and a blue circle showing pedestrians and cyclists designates a shared route for those users. Drivers encountering such a route should expect people on foot and on bicycles and adjust speed accordingly.

Question 32Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver on a multi-lane road sees a lane marked with a white diamond symbol and the word LANE painted inside it. What is the correct interpretation?

  1. The lane is for overtaking only and must not be used for travel
  2. The lane leads to a toll booth and requires payment
  3. The lane is closed and must be vacated immediately
  4. The lane is reserved for high-occupancy or special vehicles as specified by accompanying signs Correct answer.

Explanation

Special lane markings such as diamonds or the word LANE identify a lane reserved for a class of vehicle or use defined by the accompanying signs. Drivers who do not meet the condition should stay out of that lane.

Question 33Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing a black and white arrow bending sharply to the right above a symbol of a vehicle skidding. What is the driver being told?

  1. The road narrows on the right ahead
  2. A right turn is compulsory at the next junction
  3. A vehicle recovery area is located on the right
  4. Slippery road surface ahead, so reduce speed and avoid harsh braking Correct answer.

Explanation

The skidding-vehicle symbol is a warning of a slippery surface, and the bend symbol shows where the hazard lies. The correct response is to slow down before the hazard and use smooth steering, acceleration and braking.

Question 34Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a traffic light showing a steady amber circle after the green has ended. What is the correct action?

  1. Accelerate to clear the junction before red appears
  2. Continue at the same speed because amber permits passing
  3. Reverse out of the junction if the light turns red
  4. Stop unless it is unsafe to do so because the vehicle is too close to stop safely Correct answer.

Explanation

A steady amber means stop, and the exception applies only where the vehicle is so close to the line that stopping could cause a collision. The decision must be made early, so approaching a green light at a controlled speed is essential.

Question 35Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a black arrow pointing straight ahead and a red diagonal bar across the arrow. What does this sign mean?

  1. One-way road begins ahead
  2. Straight ahead is the only permitted direction
  3. Traffic must merge to the right ahead
  4. No entry for vehicles travelling straight ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal bar is a prohibition, and the symbol beneath the bar shows what is prohibited, here continuing straight ahead. The driver must therefore choose another permitted direction at that point.

Question 36Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a white line of short dashes painted across the mouth of a side road where it meets a main road, with no stop or give way sign visible. What does this marking usually indicate?

  1. A pedestrian crossing boundary
  2. A stop position requiring a complete halt in every case
  3. A loading zone boundary
  4. A give way position where the driver must yield to traffic on the main road Correct answer.

Explanation

Broken or dashed transverse lines mark a give way position, telling the driver where to yield to traffic on the road being joined. A solid transverse line paired with a stop sign requires a complete stop instead.

Question 37Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a flashing yellow light mounted on a pole at an otherwise unsigned junction. What does this signal mean?

  1. Traffic on the major road must stop
  2. Only emergency vehicles may proceed
  3. The signals are out of order and normal give way rules apply with extra caution Correct answer.
  4. The junction is closed to all traffic

Explanation

A flashing yellow light warns that the signal control is not operating normally, so the junction reverts to the ordinary priority rules. Drivers should slow down, be prepared to give way and proceed only when it is clearly safe.

Question 38Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a broken yellow line along the kerb on the left side of the road. What does this marking generally mean?

  1. Parking is prohibited at all times along that kerb
  2. Waiting and parking are restricted, for example to short stops or specified times Correct answer.
  3. The road is a clearway with no stopping for any vehicle
  4. The kerb marks a bus stop with no other restriction

Explanation

Yellow kerb lines indicate waiting restrictions, with a broken line showing a partial or time-limited restriction and a solid line showing a stricter one. Any plate or sign nearby sets out the exact hours and exemptions that apply.

Question 39Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction where a large vehicle in the next lane is obscuring the view of the signal heads. What is the safest course of action?

  1. Reduce speed and hang back so the signal heads and junction become visible before committing Correct answer.
  2. Assume the signal is green because the large vehicle is moving
  3. Follow closely behind the large vehicle so its movement reveals the signal in time
  4. Move into the opposing lane to see past the vehicle

Explanation

Hanging back increases the sight line around a large vehicle and gives time to react if the signal is amber or red. Following closely removes both the view and the stopping distance needed at a controlled junction.

Question 40Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a blue circular sign with a white arrow pointing diagonally down and to the left, mounted on a central island at a junction. How should the driver use this sign?

  1. Treat the island as a roundabout and give way to the right
  2. Pass the island on its left side in the direction shown Correct answer.
  3. Pass the island on its right side because the arrow refers to oncoming traffic
  4. Stop at the island and wait for a gap in traffic

Explanation

A keep-left sign on a traffic island directs traffic to pass on the left of the obstruction, following the arrow. It does not by itself create a give way or stop obligation; the driver still applies the normal priority rules at the junction.

Question 41Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

You are approaching a roundabout on a two-lane road and intend to take the third exit (a right turn). Which lane should you use on approach, and how should you signal?

  1. Use the left lane and signal left on approach
  2. Use the left lane and signal right on approach
  3. Use either lane without signalling until you reach the exit
  4. Use the right lane and signal right on approach Correct answer.

Explanation

Where a roundabout has two approach lanes, a right turn or a later exit is taken from the right-hand lane, and you signal right to show your intention. The left lane is kept for first and second exits, which are signalled left. Signalling right on approach warns other drivers you will cross their path.

Question 42Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

At an unmarked crossroad where two vehicles arrive at about the same time and neither road is a main road, what must a driver do?

  1. Give way to the larger vehicle
  2. Give way to the vehicle approaching from the left
  3. Proceed first if travelling straight ahead
  4. Give way to the vehicle approaching from the right Correct answer.

Explanation

On roads of equal status, the general rule is that you give way to traffic approaching from your right. This applies where no signs, signals or road markings give priority. The rule keeps conflicting movements predictable when two drivers arrive together.

Question 43Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

You are turning right at an intersection and a vehicle coming towards you is going straight ahead. Who has priority?

  1. You do, because you have already begun to turn
  2. You do, because turning vehicles clear the junction faster
  3. Neither driver has priority, so the faster vehicle proceeds
  4. The oncoming vehicle does, because it is going straight Correct answer.

Explanation

A driver turning right across oncoming traffic must give way to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction that are going straight ahead or turning left. The right-turning driver crosses their path, so the risk of collision sits with the turner. Waiting for a safe gap is required even if it delays you.

Question 44Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

You are at a T-intersection and intend to turn onto the continuing road. A vehicle on the continuing road is approaching. What is your obligation?

  1. You may proceed if you can complete the turn before it arrives
  2. You must stop and wait only if the other vehicle signals
  3. You must give way to the vehicle on the continuing road Correct answer.
  4. You may proceed because the continuing road is on your right

Explanation

At a T-intersection, traffic on the road that ends must give way to traffic on the continuing road. This applies whether you are turning left or right onto it. Judging a gap that is too small is a common cause of collisions at these junctions.

Question 45Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

A driver entering a roundabout must give way to which traffic?

  1. Only heavy vehicles and buses
  2. Only vehicles already indicating to leave
  3. All vehicles already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.
  4. Only vehicles in the right-hand lane

Explanation

Entering traffic must give way to vehicles already on the roundabout, regardless of which lane they occupy. You should not enter if doing so would force a circulating driver to slow or swerve. Once inside, keep to your chosen lane and signal before your exit.

Question 46Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

You are in the left lane of a two-lane roundabout and want to take the third exit. What is the safest action?

  1. Signal left and move across both lanes at the exit
  2. Stay in the left lane and turn sharply at the exit
  3. Change to the right lane without signalling and cut across
  4. Continue around again in the left lane until the exit appears Correct answer.

Explanation

If you find yourself in the wrong lane, the safe option is to stay in your lane and go around the roundabout again rather than cutting across circulating traffic. Lane changes inside a roundabout are high risk because drivers are watching several directions at once. Completing a full circuit costs little time and avoids a collision.

Question 47Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

At a pedestrian crossing, a pedestrian is waiting on the footpath but has not stepped onto the roadway. What should you do?

  1. Change lanes to pass the crossing more quickly
  2. Sound your horn to warn the pedestrian to stay back
  3. Maintain your speed because the crossing is clear
  4. Slow down and be prepared to stop to let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.

Explanation

Drivers must slow down and be ready to stop for pedestrians at a crossing, including those waiting to cross. A pedestrian who has not yet stepped out may do so at any moment. Failing to allow a pedestrian to cross safely is a serious offence.

Question 48Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

You are turning left at an intersection where pedestrians are crossing the road you are turning into. Who has priority?

  1. You, because you have a green light
  2. The pedestrians, because they are already on the roadway Correct answer.
  3. You, because turning traffic keeps moving
  4. The pedestrians only if they are on a marked crossing

Explanation

When you turn into a road, you must give way to pedestrians already crossing that road. This applies whether or not there is a marked crossing, and even where you have a green signal. Turning drivers must check the road they are entering before completing the turn.

Question 49Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

At a roundabout, when should you begin indicating left?

  1. As soon as you pass the exit before the one you want Correct answer.
  2. Before you enter the roundabout
  3. Only after you have left the roundabout
  4. When you are level with your exit

Explanation

A left signal should be given after passing the exit immediately before the one you intend to take. This gives following and waiting drivers clear warning without confusing them earlier. Signalling too early can mislead drivers into thinking you are leaving sooner.

Question 50Give way rules, intersections and roundabouts

Two vehicles arrive at the same time at an intersection controlled by a stop sign on your road only. What is the correct action for you?

  1. Proceed without stopping because you have already slowed

  3. Stop only if another vehicle is visible
  4. Slow down and continue if the cross road looks clear
