Traffic rules and road signs
What this domain tests
This domain tests your ability to read Luxembourg's road hierarchy and act on signs, markings, and signals. The order is police officers, then traffic lights, then signs, then road markings.
Core signs and markings
- Danger signs are triangular with a red border; they warn of a hazard but do not by themselves change priority.
- Prohibition signs are round with a red border (no entry, speed limit); mandatory signs are round and blue.
- Priority signs include the red-and-white yield triangle and the octagonal STOP sign; STOP requires a complete stop at the stop line.
- A continuous white line must not be crossed; a broken line may be crossed only if it is safe and legal. Yellow markings are temporary, typically for roadworks.
- Zebra crossings give pedestrians priority once they are crossing or clearly about to cross.
Worked example
You approach a triangular sign showing children near a school and a broken line on your side. Reasoning: the triangle warns of a hazard, so reduce speed and scan for children; it does not give you priority over the side road. The broken line only means you may cross it if clear.
Traps
Assuming a danger sign creates priority; treating a yield sign as a stop (stop only if needed, but always give way); crossing a continuous line to overtake; ignoring temporary yellow markings in roadworks.
