Road signs, markings, and signals
What this domain tests
This section tests recognition of Macedonian road signs by shape and colour, road markings, and traffic-light or controller signals. Questions often ask what a sign requires, not just what it warns about.
Sign families
- Warning signs are usually red-bordered triangles: bends, pedestrian crossings, children, uneven road, wild animals.
- Prohibition signs are red circles: speed limits, no overtaking, no entry. STOP is the red octagon; Give Way is the inverted triangle.
- Mandatory signs are blue circles: turn direction, minimum speed, cycle path.
- Information and priority signs are square or rectangular; the yellow diamond marks a priority road.
Markings and signals
White lines divide lanes. A solid line on your side means do not cross or straddle it; a broken line may be crossed when safe. A stop line at traffic lights means stop before it on red. Amber means stop unless you are too close to stop safely. Green does not mean the junction is clear: do not enter if you would block it. A police officer’s signals override lights and signs.
Worked example
You want to overtake. Your side has a continuous solid white line, while the opposite side has a broken line. You may not cross the solid line, even if the road looks clear. The broken line applies to traffic coming the other way. Wait for a broken line on your side and a safe gap.
Traps that cost marks
Confusing STOP with Give Way; ignoring a supplementary plate under a sign; entering a box junction or crossing on green when the exit is blocked; and assuming a green arrow permits all directions.
