Question 1Road signs, signals and road markings

You are driving and see a red octagonal sign facing you at an intersection. What must you do?

  1. Reduce speed to 20 km/h and proceed
  2. Come to a complete stop and give way before entering the intersection Correct answer.
  3. Slow down only if another vehicle is approaching
  4. Sound your horn and continue through carefully

Explanation

A red octagon is the international shape for a stop sign, and the shape alone identifies it even if the words are obscured. The driver must halt completely, then proceed only when the way is clear and any priority traffic has passed. Rolling slowly through the line is not a stop.

Question 2Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign shows a red circle with a white horizontal bar across the middle. What does it mean?

  1. Stop only for heavy vehicles
  2. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  3. One-way road begins here
  4. End of a restricted zone

Explanation

The red circle with a white bar is the no-entry sign, telling drivers they must not proceed past it in that direction. It is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street or a restricted access point. It differs from the stop sign, which orders a halt rather than a prohibition.

Question 3Road signs, signals and road markings

At a junction controlled by traffic lights, the light turns amber as you approach. What is the correct action?

  1. Reverse away from the junction until the light turns green
  2. Stop before the line unless you are so close that stopping safely is not possible Correct answer.
  3. Accelerate hard to clear the junction before red appears
  4. Continue at the same speed because amber means go

Explanation

An amber light warns that red is about to follow and signals drivers to stop at the line if they can do so safely. A driver already inside the junction or too close to stop without harsh braking may continue. Treating amber as permission to speed up is dangerous and unlawful.

Question 4Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a steady red traffic light require of a driver?

  1. Stop only when pedestrians are crossing
  2. Give way to traffic from the right and then proceed
  3. Stop behind the stop line and wait until the signal changes Correct answer.
  4. Slow to walking pace and continue if no traffic is visible

Explanation

A red light is an absolute instruction to stop and remain stationary behind the marked line or signal. Proceeding on red is an offence even when the road looks empty. The driver may move only after the light changes and the way is clear.

Question 5Road signs, signals and road markings

You see a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a black symbol of a curve. What is it telling you?

  1. A prohibition on entering that road
  2. A mandatory direction you must follow
  3. A service facility such as a rest area
  4. A warning that the road bends ahead, so reduce speed Correct answer.

Explanation

Diamond-shaped signs are warning signs, alerting drivers to a hazard ahead such as a bend, junction, or uneven surface. The correct response is to reduce speed and prepare to adjust steering. Prohibition and mandatory instructions use circular signs instead.

Question 6Road signs, signals and road markings

On a two-way road, a solid white line runs along the centre. What does this mean for overtaking?

  1. You must drive with wheels on the line to stay centred
  2. You may cross it whenever the road ahead looks clear
  3. You may cross it only at night
  4. You must not cross or straddle the line to overtake Correct answer.

Explanation

A continuous centre line means crossing it is prohibited, typically because visibility or road layout makes overtaking unsafe. Drivers must stay on their own side until the line becomes broken. A broken line, by contrast, permits crossing when it is safe.

Question 7Road signs, signals and road markings

A broken white line separates two lanes travelling in the same direction. What does it permit?

  1. Parking in either lane
  2. Driving in both lanes simultaneously
  3. Changing lanes when it is safe to do so Correct answer.
  4. No lane changes at any time

Explanation

Broken lines between lanes in the same direction indicate that lane changing is allowed provided it is safe and properly signalled. They also guide drivers to keep within a lane. They do not authorise parking or straddling two lanes.

Question 8Road signs, signals and road markings

You approach a pedestrian crossing marked with broad white stripes across the road. A pedestrian is waiting at the edge. What should you do?

  1. Slow down and be ready to stop to let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  2. Sound your horn so the pedestrian waits
  3. Speed up to pass before the pedestrian steps out
  4. Continue at the same speed because pedestrians must give way to vehicles

Explanation

At a marked pedestrian crossing, drivers must give way to pedestrians who are crossing or about to cross. Approaching drivers should reduce speed and prepare to stop. Horn use and acceleration both increase danger at a crossing.

Question 9Road signs, signals and road markings

A circular sign with a blue background shows a white arrow pointing straight ahead. What kind of sign is this?

  1. A mandatory sign directing traffic to proceed straight Correct answer.
  2. A warning of a hazard ahead
  3. A parking information sign
  4. A prohibition on going straight

Explanation

Blue circular signs give mandatory instructions that drivers must obey, such as a required direction of travel. A white arrow pointing ahead means traffic must continue straight. Warning signs are diamond-shaped and prohibitions are red circles.

Question 10Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the purpose of a yellow box junction marked with criss-cross lines on the road surface?

  1. To mark a lane reserved for bicycles only
  2. To keep the area clear so that crossing traffic is not blocked Correct answer.
  3. To reserve the area for parking during busy periods
  4. To indicate a place where overtaking is encouraged

Explanation

A box junction is painted to prevent vehicles from stopping in the middle of a busy intersection and blocking cross traffic. A driver may enter only if the exit is clear, apart from when turning right and waiting for oncoming traffic. It is not a parking or overtaking area.

Question 11Road signs, signals and road markings

A traffic light shows a green arrow pointing left while the main light is red. What does this allow?

  1. Turning left only after the main light turns green
  2. Ignoring the signal because arrows are advisory
  3. Turning left if the way is clear, while other traffic remains stopped Correct answer.
  4. Proceeding straight ahead as well as turning left

Explanation

A green arrow gives a permitted movement in the direction shown, provided the driver yields to any traffic or pedestrians with priority. Other movements remain governed by the red main light. Arrows are not advisory; they carry the same legal force as the main signal.

Question 12Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign displays a red circle containing the number 50. What does it indicate?

  1. Only vehicles over 50 years old may enter
  2. The minimum permitted speed is 50 km/h
  3. The maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h Correct answer.
  4. The road is 50 metres ahead

Explanation

A red circle containing a number is a regulatory speed limit sign showing the maximum legal speed in kilometres per hour. Drivers must not exceed that figure. Minimum speed signs use a blue circle instead.

Question 13Road signs, signals and road markings

You are on a road with a single broken yellow line along the edge. What does this marking usually indicate?

  1. A lane reserved for overtaking
  2. A restriction on stopping or parking along that edge Correct answer.
  3. The centre of the carriageway
  4. A cycle path boundary

Explanation

Yellow edge-line markings are commonly used to indicate that stopping or parking is restricted along that side of the road. They help keep the edge clear for traffic and visibility. They do not mark the centre line or a cycle boundary.

Question 14Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a triangular sign with a red border and a black symbol generally indicate?

  1. A prohibition that applies only to lorries
  2. A warning of a hazard ahead Correct answer.
  3. A route for pedestrians only
  4. A mandatory instruction

Explanation

Triangular signs with red borders are warning signs used in many countries to alert drivers to hazards such as junctions, bends, or crossings ahead. The symbol inside identifies the specific hazard. Mandatory instructions use circular blue signs.

Question 15Road signs, signals and road markings

At an unmarked intersection with no signs or signals, what is the general rule for deciding who goes first?

  1. Give way to traffic approaching from your left
  2. Give way to traffic approaching from your right Correct answer.
  3. Always go first if you are travelling faster
  4. The largest vehicle always has priority

Explanation

Where no signs or signals control an intersection, the usual rule is to give way to traffic approaching from the right. Drivers should also slow down and be prepared to stop. Vehicle size and speed do not confer priority.

Question 16Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign shows a white bicycle symbol on a blue circular background. What does it require?

  1. A route or lane that must be used by cyclists Correct answer.
  2. A parking area for bicycles
  3. A ban on cyclists using the road
  4. A warning that cyclists may be crossing

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a bicycle indicates a mandatory route or lane for cyclists. It tells cyclists where they must travel and warns drivers to expect them. A warning about crossing cyclists would use a triangular sign instead.

Question 17Road signs, signals and road markings

You see a stop line painted across your lane at a junction, together with a stop sign. Where must you stop?

  1. With the front wheels on the line for better visibility
  2. Only if another vehicle is already at the junction
  3. Before the stop line, so the front of the vehicle does not cross it Correct answer.
  4. Anywhere within five metres after the line

Explanation

A stop line marks the point at which a vehicle must halt, and the front of the vehicle should remain behind it. Stopping beyond the line can obstruct crossing traffic and pedestrians. The stop is required regardless of whether other vehicles are present.

Question 18Road signs, signals and road markings

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

  1. Treat it as a green light if no train is visible
  2. Proceed with caution without stopping
  3. Stop and do not proceed until the signals stop flashing and the way is clear Correct answer.
  4. Speed up to cross before a train arrives

Explanation

Flashing red lights at a level crossing require drivers to stop and wait, because a train may be approaching even if it is not yet visible. Proceeding is only permitted once the lights stop flashing and any barriers are raised. Assuming the crossing is clear is dangerous.

Question 19Road signs, signals and road markings

A rectangular sign with a white 'P' on a blue background is placed beside the road. What does it show?

  1. A police checkpoint
  2. A place where parking is permitted Correct answer.
  3. A pedestrian zone
  4. A prohibited parking area

Explanation

A white letter P on a blue rectangular sign is an information sign indicating that parking is available or permitted. It may be accompanied by supplementary plates showing times or limits. A prohibition on parking would be shown as a red circle with a diagonal bar.

Question 20Road signs, signals and road markings

You are driving in heavy rain and the road markings are hard to see. Which statement best reflects safe practice?

  1. Increase following distance and rely on lane position and signs as well as markings Correct answer.
  2. Ignore markings entirely because visibility is poor
  3. Maintain the same speed and following distance as in dry weather
  4. Drive closer to the vehicle ahead so its lights guide you

Explanation

Wet roads reduce both visibility and grip, so drivers should increase the gap to the vehicle ahead and use all available cues, including signs and lane position. Following closely reduces reaction time and risks a collision. Speed and spacing should be adjusted to conditions.

Question 21Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the meaning of a sign showing a red circle with a diagonal red bar over a black arrow pointing right?

  1. Right turns are permitted only for buses
  2. The road curves to the right ahead
  3. Turning right is prohibited Correct answer.
  4. Turning right is compulsory

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal bar is a prohibition sign, and the symbol inside shows what is forbidden. An arrow pointing right with the bar means drivers must not turn right. A compulsory direction would be shown in a blue circle instead.

Question 22Road signs, signals and road markings

At a junction, a traffic light is out of order and no police officer is present. What is the safest and most appropriate action?

  1. Wait indefinitely until the light is repaired
  2. Treat the junction as uncontrolled and give way as the priority rules require Correct answer.
  3. Assume you have priority because the light is not working
  4. Proceed at full speed to clear the junction quickly

Explanation

When signals fail, the junction reverts to the ordinary priority rules, so drivers must approach with caution and give way as required, often to traffic from the right. Assuming priority or rushing through creates serious collision risk. Waiting indefinitely is unnecessary once it is safe to proceed.

Question 23Road signs, signals and road markings

A double yellow line is painted along the edge of the carriageway. What does it normally mean?

  1. Parking is free for up to two hours
  2. Only goods vehicles may stop there
  3. The road narrows to two lanes ahead
  4. Stopping and waiting are prohibited at all times along that edge Correct answer.

Explanation

Double yellow edge lines generally indicate a continuous restriction, meaning vehicles may not stop or wait there at any time. Single yellow lines usually indicate a restriction during specified periods. The marking concerns stopping, not lane width.

Question 24Road signs, signals and road markings

What should you do when you see a sign warning of a school crossing ahead?

  1. Stop and wait until all children have gone home
  2. Reduce speed and watch for children who may step into the road Correct answer.
  3. Sound your horn continuously until you pass the school
  4. Maintain speed because children must use the crossing

Explanation

School crossing warning signs alert drivers to an area where children may be present, often at unpredictable times. The correct response is to slow down and be ready to stop. Children may not judge traffic speed reliably, so drivers bear a greater duty of care.

Question 25Road signs, signals and road markings

A lane is marked with a white bicycle symbol and a solid white line separating it from the main traffic lane. What does this indicate?

  1. A lane that cyclists are forbidden to use
  2. An overtaking lane for fast vehicles
  3. A lane where vehicles may park temporarily
  4. A lane reserved for cyclists, which other vehicles should not enter Correct answer.

Explanation

A marked bicycle lane, bounded by a line, is reserved for cyclists and other drivers should keep out of it except where permitted to cross. It improves safety by separating bicycles from motor traffic. It is not a parking or overtaking lane.

Question 26Road signs, signals and road markings

A circular sign has a red border and shows a black car alongside a black motorcycle inside the circle. What does this sign tell a driver?

  1. Motorcycles must give way to cars ahead
  2. Cars and motorcycles must use this road only
  3. Cars and motorcycles are prohibited from entering Correct answer.
  4. Motorcycles are prohibited from using this road

Explanation

A red circle with a symbol inside is a prohibition sign, so the vehicles shown are not allowed beyond that point. Both the car and the motorcycle are pictured together, meaning both are banned from entering the road ahead.

Question 27Road signs, signals and road markings

You see a sign with a red triangle containing a black cross symbol (a St Andrew's cross). What hazard does it warn of?

  1. A railway level crossing ahead Correct answer.
  2. A crossroads junction ahead
  3. A hospital emergency entrance ahead
  4. A church or place of worship ahead

Explanation

The St Andrew's cross is the recognised warning for a railway level crossing without barriers or gates. It tells the driver to expect rails across the road and to look and listen for trains before proceeding.

Question 28Road signs, signals and road markings

A traffic light shows a steady amber (yellow) light after green. What must a driver do?

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

Explanation

A steady amber means the signal is about to turn red and you must stop, unless you are so close to the stop line that stopping suddenly would be dangerous. Accelerating through is not permitted.

Question 29Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a circular sign with a blue background and a white arrow pointing diagonally down-left indicate?

  1. A one-way street begins to the left
  2. Keep to the left of the obstacle or traffic island Correct answer.
  3. Turn left ahead is prohibited
  4. Traffic must merge to the right lane

Explanation

Blue circular signs with white arrows are mandatory direction signs. An arrow angled down to the left tells drivers to pass on the left side of the island or obstruction ahead.

Question 30Road signs, signals and road markings

You are approaching a junction where the road surface shows a large white arrow pointing straight ahead in your lane and a separate arrow pointing left in the lane beside you. What should you do if you intend to turn left?

  1. Sound your horn to warn drivers before turning left
  2. Turn left from either lane once the light is green
  3. Stay in your current lane and turn left from it
  4. Move into the lane marked with the left arrow before the junction Correct answer.

Explanation

Lane arrows direct traffic into the movement permitted from that lane. If you want to turn left, you must position your vehicle in the lane marked with the left-turn arrow before reaching the junction.

Question 31Road signs, signals and road markings

A road marking shows a series of white diagonal stripes bordered by a solid white line, painted on the carriageway. What is this area and how should you treat it?

  1. A cycle lane reserved for bicycles
  2. A chevron-marked area you should not enter except in an emergency Correct answer.
  3. A hatched area that may be used for overtaking when clear
  4. A parking zone for short stops

Explanation

Diagonal stripes bordered by a solid line mark an area, often called chevrons or hatching, that separates traffic streams or protects a hazard. Drivers should keep out of it and should not use it for overtaking or waiting.

Question 32Road signs, signals and road markings

At a junction controlled by traffic lights, a green light is showing but the exit beyond the junction is blocked by stationary traffic. What is the correct action?

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

Explanation

Even with a green light, you should not enter a junction if you cannot clear it, because you would block cross traffic when the lights change. Wait behind the stop line until there is space on the far side.

Question 33Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a black symbol of a bend indicate?

  1. A pedestrian zone begins
  2. A roundabout ahead
  3. A dual carriageway begins
  4. A sharp bend or series of bends ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

Yellow diamond warning signs alert drivers to hazards ahead, and a bend symbol warns of a curve or series of curves. The driver should reduce speed before reaching the bend.

Question 34Road signs, signals and road markings

You are driving and see a broken white line along the left edge of the carriageway, with the road surface beyond it slightly raised. What does this marking most likely indicate?

  1. A pedestrian crossing zone
  2. The edge of the carriageway or a shoulder Correct answer.
  3. A no-parking area along the verge
  4. A lane reserved for overtaking

Explanation

A broken white line at the edge of the road generally marks the boundary of the carriageway, separating it from the shoulder or verge. Drivers should stay within the marked carriageway unless there is a reason to pull over.

Question 35Road signs, signals and road markings

A sign shows a red circle with a black motorcycle inside, and below it a rectangular plate reading 'Except for access'. How should a rider interpret this?

  1. Motorcycles may enter only to reach premises on that road Correct answer.
  2. Motorcycles may use the road freely at all times
  3. Motorcycles are banned entirely from the road
  4. Motorcycles must be pushed by hand on that road

Explanation

The red circle prohibits motorcycles, but the supplementary plate 'Except for access' creates a limited exception. Riders may enter only where necessary to reach a destination on that road, not for through travel.

Question 36Road signs, signals and road markings

At a level crossing, a driver sees a red light flashing and the barrier beginning to lower. What is the correct action?

  1. Drive around the barrier on the opposite side
  2. Proceed quickly before the barrier reaches the road
  3. Stop before the crossing and wait until the signals stop Correct answer.
  4. Stop on the crossing and wait for the train to pass

Explanation

Flashing red lights at a level crossing mean a train is approaching and you must stop before the crossing. Wait until the lights stop flashing and the barriers are fully raised before moving.

Question 37Road signs, signals and road markings

A road has a solid white line along the centre on your side and a broken white line on the other side. What does this arrangement mean for drivers on your side?

  1. You must move to the centre of the road
  2. Overtaking is permitted when the road is clear
  3. You may cross the line only to turn right into a side road
  4. Overtaking is prohibited and you must stay in your lane Correct answer.

Explanation

Where a solid line is on your side of the centre, you must not cross or straddle it to overtake. The broken line on the opposite side gives drivers coming the other way permission to overtake when safe.

Question 38Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches an intersection where a police officer is directing traffic with arms outstretched horizontally. A green light is also showing. Whom should the driver obey?

  1. The police officer's directions Correct answer.
  2. The road markings only
  3. The vehicle in front, whatever it does
  4. The traffic light, because it is automatic

Explanation

Directions given by a police officer override traffic lights and signs. When an officer is controlling the junction, drivers must follow the officer's signals even if the light shows something different.

Question 39Road signs, signals and road markings

You are driving at night and a sign with a red triangle and a symbol of a deer is illuminated by your headlights. What does this sign warn you to expect?

  1. Wild animals that may cross the road Correct answer.
  2. A zoo or wildlife park entrance
  3. A cattle grid across the road
  4. A hunting area where shooting occurs

Explanation

A red triangle with an animal symbol warns that wild animals may cross the road ahead. Drivers should slow down and be ready to stop, especially at dawn and dusk when animals move more.

Question 40Road signs, signals and road markings

A junction has a sign showing a red circle with a white horizontal bar across it, placed at the entrance to a side road. What does this sign require?

  1. Give way to traffic on the main road
  2. No stopping at any time
  3. No overtaking beyond this point
  4. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a white horizontal bar is the 'No Entry' sign, meaning vehicles must not enter that road. It is often placed at the exit of a one-way street to prevent traffic from driving the wrong way.

Question 41Right-of-way and intersection rules

You are approaching an uncontrolled intersection on a main road in Kiribati and a vehicle is coming from a side road on your right. Who should proceed first?

  1. Neither vehicle, until a police officer directs traffic
  2. Whichever vehicle sounds its horn first
  3. The other vehicle, because it is on your right
  4. You, because you are on the main road and the other vehicle must give way Correct answer.

Explanation

At an uncontrolled intersection the general rule is to give way to traffic approaching from your right, but that rule is modified when one road is clearly a main road and the other a side road. Traffic entering from a side road must give way to vehicles already on the main road, so you may continue. Do so cautiously, since the other driver may misjudge the situation.

Question 42Right-of-way and intersection rules

At a T-intersection where your road ends and you must join a through road, what is your obligation?

  1. Merge without stopping if the through road looks clear of heavy vehicles
  2. Give way only to traffic approaching from your right
  3. Proceed first because you are already indicating
  4. Give way to traffic on the through road in both directions Correct answer.

Explanation

When your road terminates at a T-junction you are joining the through road and must give way to traffic already on it, coming from either direction. A turn signal shows your intention but does not give you priority. Stop or slow as needed and join only when there is a safe gap.

Question 43Right-of-way and intersection rules

You intend to turn right at an intersection. A vehicle coming towards you is going straight ahead. What must you do?

  1. Turn while the oncoming vehicle is still far enough away to brake
  2. Flash your headlights so the oncoming vehicle stops
  3. Wait and give way to the oncoming vehicle before turning Correct answer.
  4. Turn first because you have already entered the intersection

Explanation

A vehicle turning right across oncoming traffic must give way to vehicles going straight through or turning left. You should wait until the path is clear rather than forcing the oncoming driver to slow or stop. Entering the intersection first does not remove this duty.

Question 44Right-of-way and intersection rules

Which vehicle must give way at a roundabout in Kiribati?

  1. The largest vehicle, regardless of position
  2. The vehicle entering the roundabout, to traffic already circulating Correct answer.
  3. The vehicle travelling slowest
  4. The circulating vehicle, to anything entering from the left

Explanation

At a roundabout, vehicles entering must give way to traffic already circulating on the roundabout. This keeps the circulating stream moving and prevents vehicles from blocking the entry. Size and speed of the vehicles do not determine priority.

Question 45Right-of-way and intersection rules

A stop sign is posted at an intersection. What does it require of you?

  1. Stop only when a pedestrian is crossing
  2. Come to a complete stop and give way before proceeding Correct answer.
  3. Stop only if another vehicle is approaching
  4. Slow down and continue if no traffic is visible

Explanation

A stop sign requires a full stop at the marked line or, if none, at the edge of the intersection, before you give way to traffic and pedestrians. Rolling slowly past the sign is not compliance. You may proceed only when it is safe.

Question 46Right-of-way and intersection rules

You are at a give-way sign at an intersection. What is the correct action?

  1. Slow down, be ready to stop, and give way to traffic on the priority road Correct answer.
  2. Maintain your speed because the sign only warns of a bend
  3. Stop completely every time, even when the road is empty
  4. Give way only to vehicles coming from your right

Explanation

A give-way sign requires you to slow and, if necessary, stop so that you can yield to traffic on the priority road. A full stop is required only when traffic makes it necessary. You must be prepared to give way to traffic from either direction on the priority road.

Question 47Right-of-way and intersection rules

An uncontrolled intersection has no signs or markings. Two vehicles arrive at about the same time from different roads. Which rule generally decides who gives way?

  1. Give way to the vehicle approaching from your left
  2. Give way to the vehicle approaching from your right Correct answer.
  3. The vehicle travelling faster has priority
  4. The vehicle that arrived second has priority

Explanation

Where roads of equal status meet without signs, the usual rule is that you give way to traffic approaching from your right. This provides a predictable order when arrivals are simultaneous. If the roads differ in status, the side road yields to the main road.

Question 48Right-of-way and intersection rules

A pedestrian is waiting to cross at a marked pedestrian crossing on your road. What should you do?

  1. Slow down and be prepared to stop to let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  2. Continue at the same speed because the pedestrian has not stepped out
  3. Sound your horn so the pedestrian waits for you
  4. Move to the opposite lane and pass without slowing

Explanation

Drivers should approach a pedestrian crossing at a speed that allows them to stop for anyone waiting or already crossing. Pedestrians at a marked crossing have priority over vehicles. Passing without slowing endangers the pedestrian and breaches the give-way duty.

Question 49Right-of-way and intersection rules

You are turning left into a side road and a pedestrian is crossing that side road at a marked crossing. Who has priority?

  1. You, provided you indicate well in advance
  2. The pedestrian, so you must wait until the crossing is clear Correct answer.
  3. You, because you are already on the main carriageway
  4. The pedestrian only if they are already halfway across

Explanation

When turning into a side road you still have to give way to pedestrians using a marked crossing on that road. The turn does not suspend the pedestrian's priority. Wait until the crossing is clear before completing the turn.

Question 50Right-of-way and intersection rules

An emergency vehicle with flashing lights and siren is approaching from behind as you near an intersection. What should you do?

  1. Give way safely, pulling over or stopping clear of the junction if possible Correct answer.
  2. Speed up to clear the intersection before it arrives
  3. Continue normally and let it pass when it can
  4. Stop immediately in the middle of the intersection

Explanation

You should make way for an emergency vehicle using lights or siren, but do so safely and legally. Stopping in the middle of an intersection blocks the emergency vehicle's path and other traffic. Pull over or stop where it is clear and safe to do so.
