Traffic rules and regulations
What this domain tests
The traffic rules and regulations domain checks whether you can apply priority, speed, overtaking, stopping and alcohol rules in real traffic, not just recite them. Category B questions often use junction and roundabout scenarios.
Core rules to know
- North Macedonia drives on the right; keep as far right as safe.
- Default limits are 50 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h outside, and 120 km/h on motorways. Posted signs and conditions override these.
- At an unmarked intersection of equal roads, give way to vehicles approaching from your right. At a roundabout, traffic already circulating has priority unless signs say otherwise.
- Overtake on the left. Overtaking is prohibited at pedestrian crossings, on bends, crests and other places with restricted visibility, and where a solid line is on your side.
- The general alcohol limit is 0.05% blood alcohol concentration; stricter zero limits apply to novice and professional drivers. Seat belts are compulsory for all occupants.
Worked example
You reach an unmarked four-way intersection and want to turn left. An oncoming car is going straight, and a car approaches from your right. You must give way to the car from the right first. The oncoming car also has priority over your left turn because a vehicle going straight ahead outranks a left-turning vehicle. Wait until both are clear, then turn.
Traps that cost marks
Do not treat “right of way” as absolute: you must still avoid a collision. Do not assume a roundabout always gives priority to the right. Watch for lower posted limits near schools and roadworks. Alcohol remains in the body after coffee or a shower.
