Question 1Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A police officer facing you raises an arm straight up with the palm forward at a busy junction. What does this signal require you to do?

  1. Stop and wait until the signal is changed Correct answer.
  2. Turn right only after giving way to oncoming traffic
  3. Sound the horn and continue through the junction
  4. Proceed slowly past the officer on the left

Explanation

A raised arm with the palm facing traffic is the standard manual signal for traffic approaching from that direction to stop. It overrides the normal priority given by signs or signals at the junction, so you must halt and wait until the officer lowers the arm or gives another signal.

Question 2Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You approach a junction and the traffic lights are completely dark because of a power failure. How should you treat the junction?

  1. As an uncontrolled junction, giving way as the rules require Correct answer.
  2. As a roundabout, giving priority to the right
  3. As a stop sign, halting fully before entering
  4. As a green light, since no red is displayed

Explanation

When signal heads are not illuminated they give no instruction, so the junction reverts to an uncontrolled one and normal give-way rules apply. Treating a dead signal as a green light is dangerous because conflicting traffic may believe it has priority.

Question 3Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

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

  1. Stop and then proceed when no police officer is present
  2. Proceed only if the junction ahead is completely clear
  3. Speed up so as to clear the junction before red appears
  4. Stop, unless it is unsafe to do so because you are too close to stop safely Correct answer.

Explanation

Amber warns that red is about to follow, so you must stop at the line unless you are so close that stopping would itself be hazardous. It is not a signal to accelerate through the junction.

Question 4Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A flashing amber light is displayed at a pelican-style pedestrian crossing. What is the correct action?

  1. Sound the horn to hurry pedestrians off the crossing
  2. Give way to pedestrians still on the crossing, otherwise proceed Correct answer.
  3. Reverse away from the crossing and use another route
  4. Stop and remain stationary until the light turns green

Explanation

A flashing amber at a pedestrian crossing means drivers may proceed but must yield to anyone still crossing. It places the responsibility on the driver to check the crossing before moving off.

Question 5Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A green arrow pointing left is shown alongside a red circular light. What does this combination allow you to do?

  1. Proceed in the direction of the arrow after giving way where required Correct answer.
  2. Wait until the red light changes to green before moving
  3. Turn left only if a police officer waves you through
  4. Proceed straight ahead as well as turning left

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement only in the direction it indicates, even while the main circular light remains red. Traffic turning in that direction must still give way to pedestrians and any traffic with priority.

Question 6Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You are driving and see a sign bearing a red circle with a white horizontal bar on a blue background. What does it mean?

  1. One-way street ahead
  2. No parking at any time
  3. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  4. End of a restriction on speed

Explanation

The red circle with the white horizontal bar is the international no-entry sign, prohibiting vehicles from entering that road. It is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street so drivers do not enter against the flow.

Question 7Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A circular sign shows a red border with a black car and a red diagonal line across it. What restriction does it impose?

  1. No entry for motor vehicles Correct answer.
  2. Cars must use dipped headlights
  3. End of a motorway for cars
  4. No overtaking by cars

Explanation

A red-bordered circle with a vehicle symbol crossed by a diagonal line prohibits that class of vehicle from entering. The diagonal line is the standard way of showing that the activity or vehicle is forbidden.

Question 8Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

What does a circular sign with a red border and the number 50 inside it mean on a rural road?

  1. The maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h Correct answer.
  2. The minimum permitted speed is 50 km/h
  3. Vehicles over 50 tonnes are prohibited
  4. The road is 50 metres from the next junction

Explanation

A red-bordered circle containing a number is a regulatory speed-limit sign stating the maximum legal speed in kilometres per hour. Minimum-speed signs are blue circles, which is a common source of confusion.

Question 9Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A blue circular sign shows a white arrow pointing straight ahead. How should you interpret it?

  1. You must proceed straight ahead only Correct answer.
  2. Straight ahead is recommended but optional
  3. Overtaking is permitted ahead
  4. The road ahead is a dual carriageway

Explanation

Blue circular signs with white arrows are mandatory-direction signs, so you must travel in the direction shown. They are typically used to channel traffic at junctions and prevent prohibited turns.

Question 10Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You see a triangular warning sign showing a winding road with two bends. What should you do?

  1. Stop immediately before the first bend
  2. Reduce speed and be prepared for a series of bends Correct answer.
  3. Increase speed to carry momentum through the bends
  4. Maintain speed because the sign is only advisory

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warnings about a hazard ahead, in this case a series of bends. The correct response is to slow down before the hazard and adjust your speed and position to negotiate it safely.

Question 11Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A triangular sign shows a pedestrian walking on a zebra crossing. What hazard does it warn of?

  1. A hospital with an emergency entrance
  2. A footpath that ends at the roadside
  3. A school where children play during break times
  4. A pedestrian crossing ahead where people may be on the road Correct answer.

Explanation

The pedestrian-crossing warning sign alerts drivers to a marked crossing ahead so they can slow down and prepare to give way. It differs from the children-crossing sign, which shows running figures.

Question 12Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

What does a triangular warning sign showing a red traffic light symbol indicate?

  1. A permanently red light on this stretch of road
  2. Traffic signals ahead that may not be visible until you are close Correct answer.
  3. A railway level crossing with barriers
  4. A police checkpoint ahead

Explanation

The traffic-signal warning sign tells drivers that a signal-controlled junction or crossing lies ahead, often where visibility is limited. It prepares you to slow down and be ready to stop.

Question 13Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A sign shows a red triangle containing a black cross symbol. What does it mark?

  1. A railway crossing without barriers
  2. A first-aid post ahead
  3. A church or place of worship ahead
  4. A crossroads ahead where traffic may emerge from side roads Correct answer.

Explanation

The cross symbol inside a warning triangle indicates a crossroads ahead, warning drivers that vehicles may enter from the left or right. It is not a religious or medical symbol.

Question 14Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You are on a dual carriageway and see a blue rectangular sign showing a white arrow bending to the left with a smaller arrow below. What is it telling you?

  1. The left lane ends and merges right
  2. Traffic is being diverted to the left ahead Correct answer.
  3. You may overtake on the left
  4. A left turn is prohibited

Explanation

Blue rectangular direction signs with diverted arrows show the route traffic must follow when the normal way is closed or restricted. They are guidance signs, so you should follow the indicated direction.

Question 15Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

What do the broken white lines painted along the centre of a two-way road indicate?

  1. You must drive with hazard lights on
  2. The road has two lanes in the same direction
  3. You must never cross them
  4. You may cross them to overtake when it is safe Correct answer.

Explanation

Broken centre lines separate opposing streams of traffic and may be crossed for overtaking or turning when visibility and safety allow. They do not grant an absolute right to cross; the manoeuvre must still be safe.

Question 16Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A continuous solid white line runs along the centre of the road on your side. What does it mean?

  1. You must not cross or straddle it to overtake Correct answer.
  2. It marks the edge of the carriageway only
  3. You may cross it to overtake slow vehicles
  4. It marks a bus lane boundary

Explanation

A continuous white centre line prohibits crossing or straddling it, generally because visibility or the road layout makes overtaking unsafe. You may only cross it to enter premises or a side road where it is legal and safe.

Question 17Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You see a double white line with the solid line on your side and the broken line on the other side. What rule applies to you?

  1. Both sides are prohibited from crossing at all times
  2. You may cross but the other side may not
  3. You must not cross the lines, but traffic on the other side may Correct answer.
  4. Either side may cross when it is safe

Explanation

Where double lines are used, the line nearest you governs your side. A solid line on your side means you may not cross, while the broken line permits traffic on the opposite side to cross when safe.

Question 18Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

What is the purpose of a hatched area bounded by solid white lines in the middle of the road?

  1. To provide a parking bay for short stops
  2. To indicate a lane reserved for overtaking
  3. To separate traffic streams and keep vehicles off the marked area Correct answer.
  4. To mark a pedestrian refuge only

Explanation

Hatched markings, often called chevrons, separate opposing traffic or protect turning vehicles, and drivers must not enter an area bounded by solid lines except in an emergency. They are not parking or stopping areas.

Question 19Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A yellow box junction is painted at a busy intersection. When may you enter it?

  1. When your exit is clear, or when turning right and only oncoming traffic blocks you Correct answer.
  2. Only when a police officer directs you to enter
  3. Whenever the light is green, even if traffic is queued ahead
  4. Never, because the box is reserved for buses

Explanation

You may enter a yellow box only if you can clear it without stopping, or if you are turning right and are prevented only by oncoming traffic. Entering when queued traffic will block you is an offence.

Question 20Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

What do the white studs or cat's eyes along the centre of the road indicate when they are spaced widely apart?

  1. A hazard such as a bend or junction is approaching Correct answer.
  2. The road is about to become a dual carriageway
  3. You are entering a no-overtaking zone
  4. The road surface changes to gravel

Explanation

The spacing of reflective road studs conveys information about the road ahead; closer spacing warns of a hazard such as a bend, while wider spacing indicates a normal stretch. The colour and pattern of studs also distinguishes lane types.

Question 21Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A traffic warden or officer stands at a junction with the right arm extended horizontally towards you. What should you do?

  1. Proceed, because the arm is directing cross traffic
  2. Turn right, because the arm points the way
  3. Reverse, because the arm signals a hazard behind
  4. Stop, because the extended arm signals traffic from your direction to halt Correct answer.

Explanation

An officer's horizontally extended arm towards approaching traffic is a stop signal for that traffic. Signals given by an authorised officer take precedence over signs and signals at the junction.

Question 22Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

What does a red circle containing the word STOP at the entrance to a junction require?

  1. A complete stop at the line before proceeding when safe Correct answer.
  2. A stop only if another vehicle is visible
  3. A slow-down and proceed if the road looks clear
  4. A stop only during the hours shown on a plate

Explanation

A STOP sign demands a full stop at the stop line, regardless of whether other traffic is visible, before you enter the junction. A rolling slow-down does not satisfy the requirement.

Question 23Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A triangular sign shows a black symbol of a train inside a red border. What does it warn of?

  1. A ferry crossing ahead
  2. A railway level crossing ahead Correct answer.
  3. A bus terminus ahead
  4. A tram terminus ahead

Explanation

The train symbol in a warning triangle indicates a railway level crossing ahead, where drivers should be ready to stop for barriers, lights or an approaching train. Trams and buses have different symbols.

Question 24Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You are driving in the left lane and see a lane marking consisting of a continuous white line on your right with a broken line beyond it. What does this arrangement mean?

  1. The lane to your right is a bus lane that you may enter at will
  2. The lane to your right is for traffic moving in the opposite direction and you must not cross Correct answer.
  3. The lane to your right is closed to all traffic
  4. You may change lanes freely because the line is advisory

Explanation

A continuous line nearest you with a broken line beyond it separates you from opposing traffic and prohibits you from crossing into that stream. Only traffic on the far side of the broken line may cross when it is safe.

Question 25Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

What is the meaning of a blue rectangular sign showing a white bicycle symbol?

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

Explanation

A blue rectangular sign with a bicycle symbol indicates a designated cycle route or lane. It informs drivers to expect cyclists and, where a lane is marked, to keep out of it.

Question 26Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You are approaching a junction where a police officer stands facing you with the right arm raised vertically, palm towards you. What does this signal require?

  1. Sound the horn and continue through the junction
  2. Turn right only after giving way to oncoming traffic
  3. Proceed slowly around the officer on the left
  4. Stop and wait until the officer lowers the arm Correct answer.

Explanation

A raised hand or arm directed at approaching traffic is a stop signal, and it overrides any sign, marking or traffic light at that junction. You must halt behind the stop line or before the junction and stay stopped until the officer signals you to move. Moving off before the arm is lowered risks a collision with traffic the officer is releasing from another direction.

Question 27Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You see a circular sign with a red border containing a black bicycle and no diagonal bar. What does it mean for a driver of a matatu?

  1. Cyclists are prohibited from the road ahead
  2. You must give way to cyclists at the next junction
  3. A cycle track crosses the road ahead
  4. Cycles are permitted to use the route ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-bordered circle is a mandatory sign, and without a diagonal bar it does not prohibit but confirms that the class shown is allowed. The black bicycle inside a red ring therefore marks a route or facility that cycles may lawfully use. A diagonal red bar is what converts the same symbol into a prohibition sign.

Question 28Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A driver approaches a junction controlled by a flashing amber light at a pelican-type crossing. What is the correct action?

  1. Reverse away from the crossing and find another route
  2. Stop completely and wait for a green light
  3. Proceed only if the crossing is clear of pedestrians Correct answer.
  4. Treat the crossing as permanently closed to traffic

Explanation

A flashing amber signal at a pedestrian-controlled crossing means you may proceed but must give way to anyone still on the crossing. It places the decision on the driver rather than on a red or green phase. You should move off only when the crossing is completely clear of pedestrians.

Question 29Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A triangular warning sign shows a black symbol of an aircraft low over the ground. What hazard does it announce?

  1. A military restricted zone
  2. An airport terminal building ahead
  3. Aircraft crossing the road on a taxiway
  4. Low-flying aircraft near an airfield Correct answer.

Explanation

The aircraft symbol in a red triangle warns that aircraft may fly low over the road, usually because the road passes near the end of a runway or under a flight path. Drivers should expect sudden noise and distraction and keep their attention on the road. The sign does not mark a terminal or a restricted area.

Question 30Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You are travelling on a single carriageway and the road marking changes to a broken white line with long gaps between the dashes. What does this tell you about overtaking?

  1. Overtaking is prohibited for all vehicles at all times
  2. Overtaking is permitted when it is safe and visibility allows Correct answer.
  3. Overtaking is allowed only for vehicles exceeding 3 tonnes
  4. Overtaking is permitted only during daylight hours

Explanation

Broken white centre lines divide traffic and permit crossing to overtake, provided the manoeuvre is safe. Longer gaps between dashes indicate that overtaking is generally easier on that stretch, while shorter dashes warn of a hazard ahead. The marking never by itself authorises an unsafe overtake.

Question 31Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A white circular sign with a red border shows the number 30 with a red diagonal line through it. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A 30 km/h advisory speed for the bend ahead
  2. A minimum speed of 30 km/h applies ahead
  3. The end of a 30 km/h speed limit zone Correct answer.
  4. A 30 km/h limit applies only to heavy vehicles

Explanation

A red diagonal bar cancels the restriction shown inside the red ring, so a 30 with a slash marks the end of a 30 km/h limit. Beyond the sign the national or local default limit for that road applies. A minimum speed sign is blue and has no red border.

Question 32Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You are driving at night on a road where the white centre studs change from widely spaced to closely spaced. What does the closer spacing warn you about?

  1. The road becomes a one-way street
  2. The road surface changes to gravel
  3. A hazard or junction is approaching Correct answer.
  4. A parking area begins on the left

Explanation

Reflective studs along the centre line are spaced widely where the road is straightforward and closer together as a hazard, junction or bend approaches. The change in rhythm is a night-time cue to reduce speed and increase attention. Studs do not indicate one-way status or surface type.

Question 33Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A driver sees a rectangular blue sign showing a white letter P with a white arrow pointing left beneath it. What does the sign mean?

  1. Parking is available in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  2. A police checkpoint is located to the left
  3. No parking is allowed for the next 100 metres
  4. A pedestrian crossing is situated to the left

Explanation

Blue rectangular signs give information, and the letter P denotes parking, with the arrow showing where the parking area lies. The sign is permissive rather than prohibitive. A prohibition on parking would be shown by a red-ringed circle with a diagonal bar.

Question 34Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

You are on a three-lane one-way carriageway and the lane line separating your lane from the next becomes a double white line with solid lines on both sides. What should you do?

  1. Avoid crossing the line except in an emergency Correct answer.
  2. Change lanes freely as long as you signal
  3. Cross the line whenever traffic is light
  4. Treat the line as a lane reserved for buses

Explanation

Double solid white lines may not be crossed in normal driving, even where the road is one-way, because they protect a hazard such as a tunnel wall, bridge support or approaching junction. Crossing is permitted only in an emergency or when directed by an officer. Lane changes must be made where the line is broken.

Question 35Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A yellow box junction is marked at a junction and your intended exit is blocked by queuing traffic. What must you do?

  1. Enter and wait inside the box until the exit clears
  2. Stay behind the box until your exit is clear Correct answer.
  3. Enter the box and stop on the yellow lines
  4. Sound the horn to clear the traffic ahead

Explanation

You may only enter a yellow box junction when your exit is clear, apart from when waiting to turn right and blocked only by oncoming traffic. Entering and stopping inside the box obstructs cross traffic and is an offence. The correct approach is to wait before the box until there is room beyond it.

Question 36Traffic Signs, Road Markings and Signals

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a white arrow bending to the right and a red diagonal bar across it. What does this combination require?

  1. Turn right ahead is compulsory
  2. Turning right is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. The road bends sharply to the right
  4. Right turns are allowed only for buses

Explanation

In a red-ringed mandatory sign, the white arrow indicates the movement concerned and the red diagonal bar cancels or prohibits it. The combination therefore forbids turning right at that point. A compulsory right turn would show the arrow without any diagonal bar.

Question 37Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

On a two-lane road in Kenya with no signs or markings, a driver approaching an uncontrolled crossroads must give way to traffic coming from which direction?

  1. Traffic approaching from behind
  2. Traffic approaching from the left
  3. Traffic approaching from the right Correct answer.
  4. Traffic approaching head-on in the opposite lane

Explanation

Where no signs, signals or markings control a junction, the general Kenyan rule is to give way to vehicles approaching from your right. This prevents gridlock at small rural and estate intersections. The rule applies only at uncontrolled junctions, not where signs or traffic lights direct priority.

Question 38Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

A police officer is directing traffic at a Nairobi junction while the traffic lights are still working. Whose instruction should you follow?

  1. The traffic light colour
  2. The road markings painted at the junction
  3. The vehicle in front of you
  4. The police officer's hand signals Correct answer.

Explanation

When an authorised officer controls traffic, their signals override both traffic lights and road markings. Drivers must obey the officer even if the light shows green, because the officer is managing a situation the signals cannot handle. Failing to obey an officer's direction is an offence.

Question 39Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

You are approaching a pedestrian crossing where a pedestrian has already stepped onto the road. What is the correct action?

  1. Sound the horn and continue at the same speed
  2. Flash your headlights so the pedestrian hurries
  3. Stop and let the pedestrian cross completely Correct answer.
  4. Swerve around the pedestrian without slowing

Explanation

A driver must give way to a pedestrian already on a marked crossing and allow them to finish crossing safely. Sounding the horn, flashing lights or swerving intimidates the pedestrian and is a traffic offence. Stopping fully is required, not merely slowing down.

Question 40Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

What does a continuous solid white line along the centre of the road mean for a driver?

  1. You must not cross or straddle it to overtake Correct answer.
  2. You may cross it whenever the road looks clear
  3. You may cross it if you sound your horn first
  4. You may cross it only at night

Explanation

A continuous solid centre line prohibits crossing or straddling it, usually because visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe. Drivers must stay on their side until the line changes to a broken line. Crossing a continuous line is a common cause of head-on collisions.

Question 41Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

At a roundabout, which traffic has priority when there are no traffic lights?

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

Explanation

Vehicles already on the roundabout have priority, so entering drivers must give way and wait for a safe gap. This keeps the circulating carriageway flowing and prevents blocking the entrances. Size of vehicle or width of approach road gives no priority.

Question 42Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

A traffic light shows a flashing amber arrow pointing left. What should you do if you intend to turn left?

  1. Stop and wait for a steady green arrow
  2. Treat it as a red light and stop completely
  3. Proceed with caution after giving way to other traffic Correct answer.
  4. Reverse away from the junction

Explanation

A flashing amber arrow permits the movement but requires the driver to proceed carefully and yield to pedestrians and other traffic. It is not a protected right-of-way signal like a steady green arrow. Treating it as a full stop would unnecessarily block the flow.

Question 43Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

You want to turn right at a junction and an oncoming vehicle is going straight ahead. Who has priority?

  1. You, because you signalled first
  2. You, because you reached the junction first
  3. Whichever vehicle is larger
  4. The oncoming vehicle going straight Correct answer.

Explanation

A driver turning right across oncoming traffic must give way to vehicles going straight or turning left. Signalling early only announces your intention; it does not create priority. You must wait for a safe gap before completing the turn.

Question 44Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

An ambulance approaches from behind with sirens and flashing blue lights while you are in a queue at a red light. What is the safest correct response?

  1. Stop dead in the middle of the junction
  2. Mount the pavement immediately to clear a path
  3. Stay put if moving would be unsafe, and let it pass when the way opens Correct answer.
  4. Drive through the red light to get out of the way

Explanation

Drivers should make way for emergency vehicles, but only when it is safe and lawful to do so. Mounting the pavement or running a red light can cause a collision and is an offence even for an ambulance. If the queue cannot move safely, remain in place and allow the emergency vehicle to find a route.

Question 45Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

When may you lawfully overtake another vehicle on the left in Kenya?

  1. Whenever you are driving a matatu
  2. Only on roads with three lanes in your direction
  3. When the vehicle ahead is signalling to turn right and there is room to pass Correct answer.
  4. Whenever the road ahead looks clear

Explanation

Overtaking on the left is normally prohibited, but it is permitted when the vehicle ahead is turning right and you can pass safely on its left. Passing on the left in other circumstances risks collision with vehicles turning or merging. The manoeuvre must still be safe and within the law.

Question 46Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

You are driving behind a cyclist on a narrow road. What is the correct way to pass?

  1. Rev the engine to warn the cyclist off the road
  2. Wait for a safe gap and leave plenty of clearance when passing Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn continuously until the cyclist moves aside
  4. Pass closely so the manoeuvre is quick

Explanation

Cyclists are vulnerable road users and must be given adequate space when overtaken. Drivers should wait until there is a safe gap, then pass with a wide clearance. Aggressive horn use or close passing can cause the cyclist to lose control.

Question 47Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

What is the correct action when you approach a junction where the road markings show a yellow box with a criss-cross pattern?

  1. Use the box to overtake slow vehicles
  2. Stop inside the box and wait for the light to change
  3. Do not enter unless your exit is clear Correct answer.
  4. Park briefly inside the box while checking directions

Explanation

A yellow box junction must be kept clear, so drivers may only enter when their exit is unobstructed. Stopping inside the box blocks crossing traffic and defeats the purpose of the marking. Waiting before the box is the correct behaviour when traffic ahead is queued.

Question 48Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

You are driving on a main road and a vehicle is emerging from a minor side road. Who should give way?

  1. The vehicle emerging from the side road Correct answer.
  2. You, because you are moving faster
  3. You, because the side road is wider
  4. Neither vehicle, since there are no signs

Explanation

Traffic on the main road has priority, and vehicles emerging from a minor road must give way and only join when it is safe. Drivers on the main road should still be alert in case the emerging driver misjudges the gap. Speed or road width does not shift the priority.

Question 49Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

A school bus has stopped ahead of you and children are getting off. What should you do?

  1. Continue at the same speed and watch the bus
  2. Overtake quickly before more children appear
  3. Slow down and be ready to stop for children crossing Correct answer.
  4. Sound the horn to warn the children

Explanation

Children leaving a school bus may run into the road unpredictably, so drivers must slow down and prepare to stop. Overtaking a stopped school bus is dangerous because children can appear from behind it. Horn use may startle children rather than protect them.

Question 50Traffic Rules and Right-of-Way

At night, an oncoming vehicle's headlights are dazzling you. What is the correct response?

  1. Slow down and look towards the left edge of your lane Correct answer.
  2. Switch on full beam to dazzle the other driver back
  3. Close your eyes briefly until the vehicle passes
  4. Speed up to get past the vehicle quickly

Explanation

When dazzled, drivers should reduce speed and use the left edge of the road as a guide until the vehicle has passed. Returning full beam or speeding up increases the risk of collision. Looking away from the glare protects your night vision.
