Question 1Road signs, signals and road markings

In Grenada, what does a red octagonal sign with the word STOP in white letters require a driver to do?

  1. Sound the horn and continue through the junction
  2. Stop only when another vehicle is approaching
  3. Slow down and proceed if the road looks clear
  4. Come to a complete stop before the line and give way to traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

The stop sign is the only octagonal sign on the road, and its shape allows it to be recognised even when the face is obscured. It requires a full stop at the stop line or, where there is no line, at the edge of the junction, followed by a check that the way is clear. Rolling slowly past the sign without stopping is an offence.

Question 2Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction and sees a downward-pointing triangular sign with a red border and a white centre. What does this sign mean?

  1. No entry for all vehicles
  2. Give way to traffic on the road you are joining Correct answer.
  3. Approaching a pedestrian crossing
  4. Stop completely before entering the junction

Explanation

The inverted triangle with a red border is the give way sign. It warns that priority must be given to traffic on the road being joined, so the driver should slow down and be ready to stop if necessary. Unlike the stop sign, it does not require a complete stop when the road is clear.

Question 3Road signs, signals and road markings

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

  1. Overtaking is permitted when the road ahead is clear
  2. Parking is allowed on the carriageway beside the lines
  3. Overtaking and crossing the lines are prohibited Correct answer.
  4. The lane nearest the lines is reserved for buses

Explanation

Double solid white lines mark a section where neither direction of traffic may cross or straddle the lines to overtake. They are used where visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe. A driver must stay on the correct side until the markings change.

Question 4Road signs, signals and road markings

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

  1. Accelerate to clear the junction before red
  2. Continue at the same speed without checking
  3. Stop unless it is unsafe to do so Correct answer.
  4. Reverse away from the junction

Explanation

A steady amber light means stop, and it is shown briefly before the red light appears. The only exception is when stopping would be unsafe, for example if a following vehicle is too close. Treating amber as a signal to speed up risks a collision with cross traffic.

Question 5Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a red circle containing a white horizontal bar mean when displayed on a sign?

  1. Road closed to pedestrians only
  2. No parking at any time
  3. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  4. No overtaking allowed

Explanation

The red circle with a white bar is the no entry sign, placed at the end of a road or lane that vehicles must not enter. It is commonly seen at one-way street exits. It is not the same as a no parking or no waiting sign.

Question 6Road signs, signals and road markings

A circular sign with a red border shows the number 50 in black. What does it mean?

  1. The road is 50 metres ahead
  2. The minimum permitted speed is 50 km/h
  3. The distance to the next town is 50 km
  4. The maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered circle containing a numeral is a regulatory speed limit sign, and the figure gives the maximum speed in kilometres per hour. Grenada uses km/h on its speed limit signs. A blue circle with a white numeral would instead indicate a minimum speed.

Question 7Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the purpose of a broken white line painted along the centre of a two-way road?

  1. It reserves the lane for cyclists
  2. It marks the edge of the carriageway
  3. It shows where parking is prohibited
  4. It separates opposing traffic and may be crossed to overtake when safe Correct answer.

Explanation

A single broken white centre line divides traffic moving in opposite directions and may be crossed when overtaking is safe and legal. It signals that the road layout allows crossing, subject to normal observation. It is not an edge line or a lane restriction.

Question 8Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a black car skidding inside a red triangle. What does the sign warn of?

  1. A steep hill ahead
  2. A slippery road surface ahead Correct answer.
  3. A vehicle testing area
  4. A compulsory stop ahead

Explanation

The skidding car symbol is a warning sign for a slippery road surface, often placed where rain, shade or road material makes grip uncertain. Drivers should reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or steering. The red triangle shape marks it as a hazard warning rather than a regulatory instruction.

Question 9Road signs, signals and road markings

At a junction controlled by traffic lights, the signal turns green but the exit road beyond the junction is blocked by stationary traffic. What should the driver do?

  1. Move onto the pavement to pass the queue
  2. Wait behind the stop line until the exit is clear Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn until traffic moves
  4. Enter the junction and wait in the middle

Explanation

A green light permits movement only if the driver can clear the junction. Entering when the exit is blocked can leave the vehicle stranded across the junction and obstruct cross traffic when the lights change. The correct approach is to hold back behind the stop line until space is available.

Question 10Road signs, signals and road markings

A single yellow line is painted along the edge of the carriageway. What does it indicate?

  1. Loading is permitted only for lorries
  2. The road is a clearway at all times
  3. Parking is free at all times
  4. Waiting restrictions apply during times shown on nearby signs Correct answer.

Explanation

A single yellow line marks a waiting restriction, and the times it applies are given on nearby upright signs or plate markings. Outside those times, waiting may be permitted. A double yellow line, by contrast, means no waiting at any time.

Question 11Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is travelling behind a large lorry that obscures the traffic lights ahead. As the lorry moves off, the driver sees the light has turned red. What is the safest action?

  1. Stay behind the stop line and wait for the next green Correct answer.
  2. Follow the lorry through the junction
  3. Reverse to give more space
  4. Change lane and accelerate through

Explanation

The driver remains responsible for obeying the signal even if the view was blocked. Having failed to enter on green, the driver should stop at the line and wait. Following the lorry through on red risks a collision with crossing traffic and is an offence.

Question 12Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a blue circular sign showing a white arrow pointing straight ahead mean?

  1. Proceed straight ahead only Correct answer.
  2. Road narrows ahead
  3. Turn right ahead
  4. One-way traffic in the opposite direction

Explanation

Blue circles give mandatory instructions, and a white arrow inside one directs traffic to follow that direction. A straight-ahead arrow therefore means the driver must continue straight and must not turn at that point. Warning triangles, by contrast, alert rather than instruct.

Question 13Road signs, signals and road markings

A pedestrian is waiting at a zebra crossing with black and white stripes. What must a driver do?

  1. Continue if the pedestrian has not stepped off the kerb
  2. Stop and allow the pedestrian to cross Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn to warn the pedestrian
  4. Pass behind the pedestrian without stopping

Explanation

At a zebra crossing, drivers must give way to pedestrians waiting to cross as well as those already on the crossing. Approaching drivers should slow down and be prepared to stop. Passing through while someone waits at the kerb defeats the purpose of the crossing.

Question 14Road signs, signals and road markings

A warning sign shows two black arrows pointing in opposite directions, one above the other. What hazard does it indicate?

  1. A dual carriageway begins
  2. Two-way traffic ahead Correct answer.
  3. Traffic signals ahead
  4. A roundabout ahead

Explanation

The sign with opposing vertical arrows warns that two-way traffic is about to begin or continue on a road where drivers might otherwise assume one-way flow. It is often placed after a one-way section. Drivers should keep to the left and expect oncoming vehicles.

Question 15Road signs, signals and road markings

Why are hazard warning lines, which are longer than normal broken centre lines with shorter gaps, used on the approach to a junction?

  1. To indicate that the speed limit has ended
  2. To mark the boundary of a bus stop
  3. To warn drivers not to overtake where the hazard reduces visibility Correct answer.
  4. To show that parking is permitted on the centre line

Explanation

Hazard warning lines use a distinctive pattern of long marks and short gaps to alert drivers to a hazard such as a junction, bend or crest. They mean overtaking should not be attempted because the driver cannot see far enough ahead. The pattern is deliberately different from ordinary centre lines so it is noticed.

Question 16Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver intends to turn left at a junction but sees a sign showing a red circle with a left-pointing arrow crossed by a red diagonal line. What does this mean?

  1. Left turns are compulsory
  2. The left lane is closed for repairs
  3. Turning left is prohibited Correct answer.
  4. Left turns are permitted only for buses

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal bar across a directional arrow is a prohibition sign, so the manoeuvre shown is not allowed. Here it forbids the left turn, perhaps because of a one-way street or a safety hazard. The driver must choose another route.

Question 17Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a flashing amber light at a pelican crossing mean for drivers?

  1. Stop and wait until the light turns green
  2. Vehicles have priority over all pedestrians
  3. The crossing is out of order and must be ignored
  4. Give way to pedestrians on the crossing but proceed if it is clear Correct answer.

Explanation

At a pelican crossing the flashing amber phase follows the red light and means drivers must give way to anyone still on the crossing. If the crossing is clear, the driver may proceed. It is not the same as a steady amber signal at a normal junction.

Question 18Road signs, signals and road markings

A rectangular blue sign shows a white bicycle symbol. What does it indicate?

  1. A cycle repair facility is nearby
  2. A route or lane designated for cyclists Correct answer.
  3. Cyclists must dismount and walk
  4. Cyclists are prohibited beyond this point

Explanation

A blue rectangular sign with a bicycle symbol identifies a route or lane intended for cyclists. Drivers should expect cyclists there and should not obstruct the facility. Prohibition signs for cyclists use a red circle with a diagonal bar.

Question 19Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is on a road with a solid white line on the left edge and a broken white line on the right. What does the broken line on the right most likely mark?

  1. A pedestrian-only area
  2. A no parking zone
  3. The boundary of a lane within the same direction of travel Correct answer.
  4. The edge of the carriageway

Explanation

On a multi-lane road, broken white lines separate lanes carrying traffic in the same direction, and drivers may change lane when it is safe. The solid line at the left edge marks the boundary of the carriageway. Confusing the two can lead a driver to leave the road or straddle lanes incorrectly.

Question 20Road signs, signals and road markings

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

  1. Follow the vehicle in front without checking
  2. Wait indefinitely until the lights are repaired
  3. Proceed without slowing because the lights are off
  4. Treat the junction as uncontrolled and give way as the rules require Correct answer.

Explanation

When signals fail, the junction reverts to the normal priority rules, so drivers must approach with caution and give way as they would at an uncontrolled junction. Assuming the lights give priority in either direction is dangerous. Extra care and observation are needed.

Question 21Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a red circle containing a white arrow curving to the right with a red diagonal bar through it. What is the effect of this sign at a junction?

  1. Right turns are allowed only in daylight
  2. Right turns are compulsory
  3. Right turns are prohibited at this junction Correct answer.
  4. The road bends sharply to the right ahead

Explanation

The diagonal red bar turns the mandatory arrow into a prohibition, so the manoeuvre it depicts is forbidden. Here the right turn may be banned because of sight lines or a one-way system. The driver must continue in a permitted direction and find another route.

Question 22Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver passes a sign showing a red circle with the number 30 crossed by a diagonal black band. What does this sign mean?

  1. Vehicles over 30 tonnes are prohibited
  2. The minimum speed becomes 30 km/h
  3. The 30 km/h speed limit ends here Correct answer.
  4. A 30 km/h limit begins here

Explanation

A diagonal black band across a regulatory sign cancels the restriction it shows, so this sign marks the end of a 30 km/h limit. Beyond it, the national or local default limit applies. Drivers should still confirm the new limit from subsequent signs.

Question 23Road signs, signals and road markings

At a crossroads with no signs or markings giving priority, two vehicles arrive at the same moment from different roads. What is the correct approach?

  1. Proceed first because you arrived at the same time
  2. Sound the horn and drive straight across
  3. Give way to traffic approaching from the right and proceed only when clear Correct answer.
  4. Reverse to let the other vehicle pass

Explanation

Where no signs or markings establish priority, the general rule is to give way to traffic approaching from the right. Drivers should slow down, make eye contact where possible and proceed only when it is safe. Relying on arrival time or the horn does not establish right of way.

Question 24Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a broken white line with a solid white line running alongside it on the same side, with the broken line nearest the driver. What does this arrangement permit?

  1. The lines mark a pedestrian refuge
  2. Only buses may cross the lines
  3. Crossing the lines is prohibited in all circumstances
  4. Crossing to overtake is allowed when it is safe Correct answer.

Explanation

Where a broken and a solid line run together, the rule depends on which line is nearest the driver. If the broken line is on the driver's side, crossing to overtake is permitted when safe; if the solid line is nearest, crossing is prohibited. The arrangement gives one direction more freedom than the other.

Question 25Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction and sees a stop sign, but the stop line is worn away and barely visible. What should the driver do?

  1. Stop at the edge of the junction where the line would be and check the way is clear Correct answer.
  2. Treat the sign as a give way sign
  3. Stop only if another vehicle is present
  4. Continue without stopping because the line is missing

Explanation

The obligation comes from the stop sign itself, not from the paint on the road. Where the line is missing or faded, the driver should stop at the point where the carriageway meets the junction and then proceed when safe. The condition of the marking does not cancel the requirement.

Question 26Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a circular sign with a red border and a white horizontal bar across a blue background. What does this sign mean?

  1. No stopping at any time
  2. No through road ahead
  3. No entry for any vehicle Correct answer.
  4. No parking on the verge

Explanation

A red circle is a prohibition sign, and the white bar on blue marks a road where entry is forbidden to vehicular traffic. Drivers must not pass the sign, though pedestrians and, where indicated, cyclists may still use the route.

Question 27Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction and sees an inverted triangle sign with a red border. What does this sign require the driver to do?

  1. Give way to traffic on the major road Correct answer.
  2. Sound the horn before proceeding
  3. Stop completely before the line
  4. Turn left only at the junction

Explanation

The inverted triangle is the give-way sign, warning that the driver must yield to traffic on the road being joined. A complete stop is only compulsory if traffic is approaching or if a stop line and stop sign are present.

Question 28Road signs, signals and road markings

A red triangle warning sign shows a black symbol of a person walking with a child. What hazard does it warn the driver about?

  1. A pedestrian zone with no vehicles
  2. A hospital entrance ahead
  3. Children crossing or playing nearby Correct answer.
  4. A school bus stop ahead

Explanation

Warning triangles with a pedestrian symbol alert drivers to people on or near the road, commonly near schools or playgrounds. The driver should reduce speed and be ready to stop for children who may step out without looking.

Question 29Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a double yellow line along the edge of the carriageway indicate?

  1. Loading is permitted for goods vehicles only
  2. Parking is allowed for up to one hour
  3. The road is a bus stop clearway
  4. Waiting is prohibited at all times Correct answer.

Explanation

Double yellow lines at the kerb mean no waiting at any time, although a driver may still stop briefly to let passengers board or alight where it is safe. Loading may be restricted separately and is shown by kerb markings.

Question 30Road signs, signals and road markings

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

  1. A police station is nearby
  2. A pedestrian crossing is ahead
  3. Parking is permitted in the marked area Correct answer.
  4. A passing place is available

Explanation

A blue rectangle with a white P is an information sign showing that parking is available in the area indicated. Any time limits or charges are shown on an accompanying plate beneath the sign.

Question 31Road signs, signals and road markings

At a zebra crossing, what do the zigzag lines painted along the approach and exit mean for drivers?

  1. Parking and overtaking are prohibited on the zigzags Correct answer.
  2. The speed limit is reduced to 20 mph
  3. Overtaking is encouraged where safe
  4. Cyclists may use the zigzag area as a lane

Explanation

The zigzag markings protect the approach to a zebra crossing by banning parking and overtaking within them. This keeps sight lines clear so drivers can see pedestrians waiting and pedestrians can see approaching vehicles.

Question 32Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a circular blue sign showing a white arrow pointing to the left. What does this sign require?

  1. Turn left ahead is prohibited
  2. A left-hand bend is ahead
  3. Give way to traffic from the left
  4. Keep left of the obstacle or island Correct answer.

Explanation

A blue circle with a white arrow is a mandatory direction sign, so the driver must pass on the side shown. Here it directs traffic to keep to the left of an island or obstruction.

Question 33Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a flashing red light at a level crossing mean for a driver?

  1. Proceed with caution if no train is visible
  2. Reverse away from the crossing
  3. Slow down and sound the horn
  4. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing Correct answer.

Explanation

Flashing red lights at a level crossing mean a train is approaching and the driver must stop and remain stopped. The driver may only proceed once the lights stop flashing and any barrier has been raised.

Question 34Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction where a traffic officer is directing traffic with an arm raised vertically with the palm facing the driver. How should the driver respond?

  1. Stop and wait for further direction Correct answer.
  2. Sound the horn and proceed
  3. Proceed only if turning left
  4. Continue through the junction without delay

Explanation

A raised hand with the palm towards oncoming traffic is a signal to stop, and the officer's directions override normal signs and signals. The driver must wait until the officer signals that movement may resume.

Question 35Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a solid white line in the centre of the road with a broken white line alongside it, the broken line being nearer the driver. What does this allow?

  1. The driver must change lanes immediately
  2. The driver must not exceed 20 mph
  3. Overtaking is prohibited for traffic on the driver's side
  4. Overtaking is permitted if the road is clear Correct answer.

Explanation

Where a broken line runs alongside a solid line, the rule follows the line nearest the driver. A broken line nearest the driver means overtaking is allowed when it is safe, while traffic on the other side faces the solid line and must not cross it.

Question 36Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a roundabout and sees a sign showing three black arrows arranged in a circle. What does the sign mean?

  1. A mini-roundabout is ahead Correct answer.
  2. Traffic must turn back
  3. A one-way street begins ahead
  4. A ring road is closed

Explanation

A red triangle with arrows in a circle warns of a roundabout ahead, and a small version of the same symbol often marks a mini-roundabout. The driver should slow down and prepare to give way to traffic already on the roundabout.

Question 37Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a warning sign showing a black symbol of a bend with an arrow curving sharply to the left and then to the right. What does it warn of?

  1. A single sharp left bend
  2. A road narrowing from the left
  3. A series of bends, the first to the left Correct answer.
  4. A left turn junction only

Explanation

A warning triangle showing a double bend warns of a series of bends, with the first bend in the direction shown. The driver should reduce speed before entering the bends and keep well within the lane.

Question 38Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a blue circular sign showing a red diagonal bar across a symbol of a bicycle. What does the sign mean?

  1. Cyclists must use the pavement
  2. Cyclists have priority at the junction
  3. No cycling is permitted beyond the sign Correct answer.
  4. A cycle lane begins ahead

Explanation

A blue circle with a red diagonal bar is a prohibition sign, so cycling is banned on the route beyond it. The sign applies to cyclists, while drivers should still watch for cyclists elsewhere.

Question 39Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a white arrow painted on the road surface in their lane pointing straight ahead, while the lane beside has an arrow curving right. What should the driver do?

  1. Ignore the arrows and choose any direction
  2. Follow the arrow for their lane when safe Correct answer.
  3. Change to the right-turn lane at the last moment
  4. Stop and wait for a signal

Explanation

Lane arrows show the direction each lane is intended to take, so a driver should be in the correct lane well before the junction and follow its arrow. Changing lanes late across solid lines or arrows is unsafe and may be an offence.

Question 40Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a sign showing a red circle with the number 7.5 inside it mean?

  1. The speed limit is 7.5 mph
  2. Vehicles over 7.5 tonnes are prohibited Correct answer.
  3. Parking is limited to 7.5 hours
  4. The road width is 7.5 metres

Explanation

A red circle containing a weight is a prohibition on vehicles exceeding that maximum gross weight, here 7.5 tonnes. Such signs are common where a road or bridge cannot safely carry heavier vehicles.

Question 41Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a broken white line across the entrance to a side road on their left. What does this marking indicate?

  1. The side road is one-way towards the main road
  2. Traffic on the side road must give way
  3. The main road has priority over the side road Correct answer.
  4. The side road is closed to vehicles

Explanation

A broken line across the mouth of a side road marks a give-way line for traffic emerging from that road, so the main road has priority. Drivers on the main road may proceed but should still watch for vehicles emerging.

Question 42Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a white arrow pointing straight up and a red diagonal bar through it. What does this sign mean?

  1. Turn right ahead only
  2. No entry for vehicles proceeding straight on Correct answer.
  3. One-way traffic ahead
  4. End of the speed restriction

Explanation

A red circle with a crossed arrow prohibits the movement the arrow shows, so proceeding straight ahead is banned at that point. The driver must follow another permitted direction indicated at the junction.

Question 43Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a traffic light showing a green arrow pointing left while the main circular light is red. What may the driver do?

  1. Turn left, giving way to pedestrians and other traffic Correct answer.
  2. Proceed straight on if the road is clear
  3. Turn right if no traffic is approaching
  4. Wait until the main light turns green

Explanation

A green arrow permits movement only in the direction it indicates, even when the main light is red. Before turning left the driver must give way to pedestrians crossing and to traffic already on the road being entered.

Question 44Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a white arrow pointing up and another pointing down, with a red bar through the downward arrow. What does this indicate?

  1. No entry for oncoming vehicles, giving a one-way road Correct answer.
  2. Two-way traffic ahead
  3. A dual carriageway begins
  4. Overtaking is permitted

Explanation

The crossed downward arrow prohibits traffic from travelling towards the sign, confirming that the road ahead is one-way in the direction of the upward arrow. Drivers may proceed in that direction but must not expect oncoming traffic.

Question 45Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a yellow box junction marked with criss-cross lines ahead. When may the driver enter the box?

  1. Whenever the traffic light is green
  2. Whenever the vehicle ahead moves forward
  3. Only if the exit is clear, except when turning right and blocked by oncoming traffic Correct answer.
  4. Only when a passenger directs them to

Explanation

A yellow box junction must not be entered unless the exit road is clear, so the driver does not block the junction. The exception is a driver turning right who is stopped only by oncoming traffic or other vehicles waiting to turn right.

Question 46Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red triangle with a black symbol of a car falling into waves. What does it warn of?

  1. Quayside or river bank ahead Correct answer.
  2. A car wash facility ahead
  3. A ferry terminal ahead
  4. Flooding is likely in winter

Explanation

The symbol of a vehicle entering water warns that the road runs alongside a quayside or river bank with a risk of leaving the carriageway. Drivers should slow down and keep well clear of the edge, especially in poor visibility.

Question 47Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a white arrow curving right and a red diagonal bar through it, at a junction where the only other route is straight ahead. What must the driver do?

  1. Continue straight ahead Correct answer.
  2. Turn right after stopping
  3. Wait for the sign to change
  4. Reverse to find another route

Explanation

The crossed arrow prohibits the right turn, so the driver must take a permitted route, which here is straight ahead. Prohibition signs are static and do not change, so waiting serves no purpose.

Question 48Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with the number 30 and a diagonal black band through it. What does this sign mean?

  1. A 30 mph limit begins
  2. The 30 mph speed limit ends Correct answer.
  3. A 30 mph minimum speed applies
  4. Vehicles over 30 tonnes are banned

Explanation

A diagonal black band through a sign cancels the restriction it shows, so this sign marks the end of a 30 mph limit. The national speed limit for the road type then applies unless another sign shows a different limit.

Question 49Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a broken white line marking the edge of the carriageway on a rural road, with a solid white line on the opposite edge. What does the broken edge line indicate?

  1. Parking is permitted beyond the line
  2. A cycle lane begins at the line
  3. A lane reserved for overtaking
  4. The edge of the carriageway, with a hard shoulder beyond Correct answer.

Explanation

A broken white line along the edge marks the boundary of the carriageway, warning drivers where the road surface ends. Beyond it there may be a verge or hard shoulder that is not a running lane for normal driving.

Question 50Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction with a stop sign where the stop line is worn away. What is the correct action?

  1. Stop at the sign and give way before moving off Correct answer.
  2. Proceed without stopping because no line is visible
  3. Sound the horn and continue at speed
  4. Treat the junction as an uncontrolled crossroads

Explanation

The stop sign itself imposes the legal duty to stop, and a worn line does not remove that obligation. The driver should stop where the line would be, ensure the way is clear, and then proceed.
