Question 1Traffic rules and right-of-way

You approach an intersection of two roads of equal rank where no signs, markings or traffic lights establish priority. Which vehicle has the right of way?

  1. The vehicle approaching from your right Correct answer.
  2. The vehicle that reaches the intersection first
  3. The vehicle travelling on the wider of the two roads
  4. The vehicle that is heavier and less manoeuvrable

Explanation

At an unmarked intersection of roads of equal rank the general right-hand rule applies in North Macedonia: you must give way to any vehicle coming from your right. Road width, vehicle size or who arrives first does not create priority. The rule drops away only when signs, markings or a traffic officer set a different order.

Question 2Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving on a two-lane urban road. A pedestrian has stepped onto the marked pedestrian crossing ahead of you in your lane. What must you do?

  1. Stop before the crossing and let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  2. Drive around the pedestrian if the opposite lane is clear
  3. Sound the horn to warn the pedestrian and keep moving
  4. Continue if you can pass the pedestrian without touching them

Explanation

A driver approaching a marked pedestrian crossing must give way to pedestrians who are on the crossing or clearly about to step onto it, and must stop if that is what it takes. Passing a pedestrian on the crossing, or squeezing past in the other lane, is a serious offence because the pedestrian has priority over every vehicle there.

Question 3Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are about to enter a roundabout marked with a circular-traffic sign and a yield line at the entry. A car is already circulating and will pass in front of you. Who has priority?

  1. The entering driver, if the circulating car is in the outer lane
  2. Whoever signals first with an indicator
  3. The vehicle already circulating in the roundabout Correct answer.
  4. The vehicle with the shorter distance to its exit

Explanation

A roundabout with the circular-traffic sign and a yield line at the entry works so that entering traffic gives way to vehicles already circulating. You enter only when there is a safe gap and you do not force the circulating car to brake. Indicators show intention and never create priority.

Question 4Traffic rules and right-of-way

At a green light you intend to turn left across the path of oncoming traffic. Several vehicles approach from the opposite direction, and one of them signals a right turn into the same road. Whom must you let pass?

  1. Only the oncoming vehicles that continue straight ahead
  2. All oncoming vehicles, whether they go straight or turn right Correct answer.
  3. None, because your green light gives you priority
  4. Only the last vehicle in the oncoming queue

Explanation

A green light lets you enter the intersection but does not give you priority over oncoming traffic when you turn left. You must give way to every oncoming vehicle that goes straight on or turns right into the same road, then complete your turn when the path is clear. You wait in the correct turning position rather than cutting across the flow.

Question 5Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are leaving a petrol station forecourt and joining a public road. What is your obligation towards traffic already on that road?

  1. You have priority whenever the road is inside a built-up area
  2. You have priority because your vehicle is already moving
  3. You must give way only to vehicles approaching from your left
  4. You must give way to all vehicles and pedestrians already on the road Correct answer.

Explanation

A driver joining a public road from a private area, forecourt, car park or unpaved track must give way to all traffic already on the road, including pedestrians and cyclists. The right-hand rule does not apply, because the private area is not a road of equal rank. You enter only when the manoeuvre is safe and does not force anyone to change speed or direction.

Question 6Traffic rules and right-of-way

At an unmarked intersection of two roads of equal rank, a tram approaches from your left while you approach from its right. Who has priority?

  1. Whichever vehicle is nearer the centre of the intersection
  2. The tram, because rail vehicles have priority over road vehicles Correct answer.
  3. You, because the right-hand rule decides every unmarked intersection
  4. The tram only if it is travelling straight ahead

Explanation

Trams have priority over other vehicles at intersections unless a sign or a traffic officer orders otherwise, so the ordinary right-hand rule does not help you here. The reason is the tram's long braking distance and its fixed track, which it cannot leave. You must slow down and let the tram pass before continuing.

Question 7Traffic rules and right-of-way

In a built-up area you hear a siren and see a police car with flashing blue lights closing behind you, but traffic ahead is dense. What should you do?

  1. Maintain speed and lane so the officer can judge your position
  2. Brake sharply and stop in your lane immediately
  3. Turn into the nearest side street to clear the way
  4. Pull as far to the right as possible, slowing or stopping to let it pass Correct answer.

Explanation

You must clear the way for a vehicle using blue lights and a siren, normally by moving to the right-hand edge and slowing or stopping until it has gone past. Sudden braking in the lane or a quick turn into a side street creates a fresh hazard and can block the emergency route. You should also not use the gap it opens to follow closely behind it.

Question 8Traffic rules and right-of-way

On a two-way road your lane is blocked by a parked lorry, so you must cross into the oncoming lane to get past it. An oncoming car is approaching but is still some distance away. Who must give way?

  1. The oncoming car, if it can slow down without braking hard
  2. You, because your side of the road is obstructed Correct answer.
  3. The oncoming car, because it is further from the obstacle
  4. Neither; both may creep past each other simultaneously

Explanation

When an obstacle blocks your side of the road, you are the one who must wait, because getting past it means using the lane that belongs to opposing traffic. The distance between the oncoming car and the obstacle does not shift that duty. You move out only when the oncoming lane is clear enough for you to complete the manoeuvre without making anyone brake or swerve.

Question 9Traffic rules and right-of-way

A traffic officer stands in the intersection giving signals, while the traffic light for your direction shows green. What governs your movement?

  1. The green light, because traffic lights rank above a person
  2. The officer's signals, which override the traffic lights and road signs Correct answer.
  3. The behaviour of the vehicle immediately in front of you
  4. The road markings, if they contradict what the officer signals

Explanation

Signals given by a police officer or another authorised person take precedence over traffic lights, signs and markings, and you must obey them at once. A raised arm generally means stop for the traffic facing the officer, unless you are already so close that stopping safely is impossible. The lights resume their normal role only when the officer's control ends.

Question 10Traffic rules and right-of-way

The light turns green but the queue beyond the intersection has stopped and there is no space on the far side for your vehicle. What should you do?

  1. Sound the horn until the queue moves forward
  2. Enter the intersection and wait in the middle for the queue to move
  3. Stay behind the stop line until there is room beyond the intersection Correct answer.
  4. Enter and use the pedestrian crossing area as waiting space

Explanation

A green light allows you to enter only if you can clear the intersection, so when the exit is blocked you must wait behind the stop line or the crossing. Stopping inside the junction would block cross traffic and pedestrians once their phase begins. Move off only when there is space on the far side to take your vehicle.

Question 11Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck on a road that ends at an intersection marked with an octagonal STOP sign. A car approaches on the crossing road, which has no signs or markings. Who has priority?

  1. Your truck, because the other road is unsigned.
  2. Whichever arrives first.
  3. Your truck, as the vehicle on the right.
  4. The car on the crossing road. Correct answer.

Explanation

A STOP sign requires you to stop and give way to all traffic on the intersecting road. The absence of signs on the other road does not give you priority. You may proceed only when the crossing road is clear.

Question 12Traffic rules and right-of-way

In a built-up area you are driving behind a bus that is signalling to leave a marked bus stop. Traffic is slow. What must you do?

  1. Slow down and allow the bus to rejoin the traffic flow. Correct answer.
  2. Maintain speed, because vehicles in the lane have priority.
  3. Stop only if the bus has already entered your lane.
  4. Sound the horn and pass before the bus moves.

Explanation

In built-up areas, drivers must facilitate buses leaving marked stops. You should reduce speed and leave space for the bus to pull out. The bus does not have to wait until the lane is completely empty.

Question 13Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are turning right into a side road. A pedestrian is already crossing that side road on a marked crossing a few metres from the junction. Who has priority?

  1. Neither; the pedestrian must wait for a gap.
  2. You, provided you indicate before turning.
  3. You, because the pedestrian is not on your current road.
  4. The pedestrian, because you are changing direction and crossing their path. Correct answer.

Explanation

When turning into another road, you must give way to pedestrians already crossing that road. Indicating does not create priority. You should wait until the pedestrian has cleared your path.

Question 14Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are reversing a truck out of a private driveway onto a public road. A car is approaching on the road. Who must give way?

  1. The car, if it is travelling below the speed limit.
  2. You, because traffic on the public road has priority. Correct answer.
  3. The approaching car, because it can see your reversing lights.
  4. Neither, because the driveway is private property.

Explanation

A driver entering a public road from private property must give way to all road users. Reversing does not create a right of way. You should reverse only when it is safe and not obstruct traffic.

Question 15Traffic rules and right-of-way

At an intersection the traffic lights are showing a flashing yellow light. There are no traffic signs or road markings giving priority. How should you proceed?

  1. Stop completely and wait for a green light.
  2. Proceed at the same speed, because flashing yellow gives priority.
  3. Proceed cautiously and apply the right-hand rule. Correct answer.
  4. Give way only to vehicles already inside the intersection.

Explanation

A flashing yellow light means the signals are not regulating priority; you must follow signs or general rules. With no signs, the right-hand rule applies. Approach slowly and be ready to stop.

Question 16Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are entering a motorway from an acceleration lane. A lorry is already travelling in the near-side lane. What is your obligation?

  1. You have priority because you are in the acceleration lane.
  2. You must stop at the end of the acceleration lane before joining.
  3. You must adjust speed and give way to motorway traffic. Correct answer.
  4. The lorry must move to the far lane to let you in.

Explanation

Traffic on the motorway has priority over vehicles entering from an acceleration lane. You should use the lane to match speed and merge into a safe gap. Stopping at the end is dangerous unless traffic is queued.

Question 17Traffic rules and right-of-way

A vehicle ahead of you has stopped at a marked pedestrian crossing to let a pedestrian cross. May you overtake that vehicle?

  1. Yes, if you slow down and sound the horn.
  2. No, because overtaking there is prohibited. Correct answer.
  3. Yes, if no pedestrian is visible on your side.
  4. No, unless the stopped vehicle's driver signals you to pass.

Explanation

Overtaking a vehicle that has stopped at a pedestrian crossing is prohibited because it may hide a pedestrian. You must stop behind and wait until the crossing is clear. The rule protects pedestrians who may be obscured.

Question 18Traffic rules and right-of-way

You approach a railway level crossing with no barrier and a train is approaching. What must you do?

  1. Stop only if a red light is flashing.
  2. Proceed because road vehicles have priority at unguarded crossings.
  3. Stop and wait until the crossing is clear. Correct answer.
  4. Cross quickly if you can pass before the train reaches the crossing.

Explanation

Rail vehicles have absolute priority at level crossings. You must stop and wait whenever a train is approaching, even if no barrier or light is active. Never attempt to race a train.

Question 19Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a heavy truck down a narrow mountain road. An uphill truck approaches, and the road is too narrow for both to pass. Who should give way?

  1. You, because the downhill vehicle must give way. Correct answer.
  2. Neither; you should both continue slowly.
  3. The uphill truck, because it has a better view.
  4. The uphill truck, because heavy vehicles have priority uphill.

Explanation

On a narrow road where passing is impossible, the descending vehicle must give way to the ascending vehicle. You may need to stop or reverse to a wider point. The rule helps keep uphill traffic moving.

Question 20Traffic rules and right-of-way

You have priority at an intersection, but another driver enters without yielding and a collision seems likely. What should you do?

  1. Continue at the same speed to assert your right of way.
  2. Accelerate to pass in front of the other vehicle.
  3. Sound the horn and keep your course.
  4. Brake or steer to avoid the collision. Correct answer.

Explanation

Having priority does not relieve you of the duty to avoid an accident. You must take reasonable action, such as braking or steering, when another driver fails to yield. Right of way is not a licence to collide.

Question 21Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck out of a field track onto a paved public road. There are no signs or markings at the junction. What is your obligation?

  1. You may proceed after sounding the horn once.
  2. You need only yield to vehicles coming from your left.
  3. You must yield to all traffic already on the paved road. Correct answer.
  4. You have priority because you approach from the right.

Explanation

When entering a public road from an unpaved track, field path, or private area, you must give way to all vehicles and pedestrians already on that road. The right-hand rule does not apply because the roads are not of equal rank.

Question 22Traffic rules and right-of-way

At an intersection your road has a triangular 'Give Way' sign, while the crossing road has no sign. What does the sign require you to do?

  1. Proceed first because you are on the right.
  2. Stop completely before entering, even when the road is clear.
  3. Yield to traffic on the crossing road; proceed only when safe. Correct answer.
  4. Yield only to vehicles approaching from your left.

Explanation

A Give Way sign means you must give priority to traffic on the road you are joining; a full stop is required only if necessary to let them pass. A STOP sign, not a Give Way sign, requires a complete stop every time.

Question 23Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving on a road marked with a yellow diamond priority-road sign. A car approaches from a side road on your right. Who has priority?

  1. The car from the right, under the right-hand rule.
  2. Neither driver; you must negotiate as equals.
  3. You, because the yellow diamond marks a priority road. Correct answer.
  4. The car that arrives at the junction first.

Explanation

The yellow diamond sign marks a priority road, so vehicles on it have right of way over traffic entering from side roads. The right-hand rule does not apply when a priority-road sign establishes the ranking.

Question 24Traffic rules and right-of-way

At a signalized intersection the main light is red, but a green arrow points in the direction you want to turn. What does the green arrow allow you to do?

  1. Wait for the main green light before making the turn.
  2. Proceed in any direction once the whole intersection looks clear to you.
  3. Turn only after stopping completely and sounding the horn.
  4. Turn as the arrow indicates, yielding to pedestrians and traffic already inside. Correct answer.

Explanation

A green arrow gives priority for the indicated direction, but it does not authorise other movements. You must still avoid endangering pedestrians and vehicles already lawfully in the intersection.

Question 25Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are turning right into a side road. A cyclist is crossing that side road on a marked bicycle crossing. Who must yield?

  1. Neither, because bicycles must dismount at marked crossings.
  2. The cyclist, but only if a vehicle is close behind you.
  3. The cyclist, because they are leaving the main road.
  4. You, because turning drivers must yield to cyclists on a marked crossing. Correct answer.

Explanation

Drivers turning into a road must give way to cyclists using a marked bicycle crossing. The cyclist is continuing straight along the crossing and has priority over the turning vehicle.

Question 26Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are reversing a truck out of a perpendicular parking space onto a public road. A car is approaching along the road. Who has priority?

  1. The approaching car, because traffic on the public road has priority. Correct answer.
  2. You, if you signal and sound the horn before reversing.
  3. The car, but only if it approaches from your left.
  4. You, because you have already begun reversing.

Explanation

A vehicle entering a road from a parking space, driveway, or similar off-road area must yield to all traffic already on the road. Reversing does not give priority; you must wait until the road is clear.

Question 27Traffic rules and right-of-way

A pedestrian using a white cane is waiting at a marked pedestrian crossing. What must you do?

  1. Stop and give way; the white cane signals a visually impaired pedestrian. Correct answer.
  2. Proceed if you sound the horn first.
  3. Overtake the pedestrian only on the left.
  4. Continue, because the pedestrian is not yet on the road.

Explanation

A white cane indicates a blind or visually impaired pedestrian, and drivers must give way to such pedestrians at a crossing. You should stop and let them cross safely; the horn may startle them and is not a substitute for yielding.

Question 28Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are approaching a tram stopped at a marked tram stop. Passengers are stepping onto the road to board. There is no safety island. What must you do?

  1. Sound the horn and pass on the right.
  2. Stop behind the tram and wait until passengers have safely boarded or left. Correct answer.
  3. Continue at the same speed because the tram is not a motor vehicle.
  4. Overtake the tram slowly on the left.

Explanation

When a tram is stopped at a stop without a safety island, you must stop behind it and allow passengers to board or leave safely. Overtaking would endanger people stepping onto the carriageway.

Question 29Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are approaching an intersection on a green light. A police car with flashing blue lights and siren is approaching from a side road. What should you do?

  1. Slow down or stop and yield to let the emergency vehicle pass. Correct answer.
  2. Sound your horn and maintain your speed.
  3. Continue through the intersection because your light is green.
  4. Speed up to clear the intersection quickly.

Explanation

Emergency vehicles with active blue lights and siren have priority, and you must make way even when your traffic light is green. You should avoid blocking the intersection and let the police car pass safely.

Question 30Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck on a two-lane road in the same direction and wish to change to the left lane. A car is already in that lane and approaching from behind. What must you do?

  1. Change lanes without signalling if you use your mirrors.
  2. Speed up to force the car to slow down and let you in.
  3. Change lanes because you are ahead of the car.
  4. Wait for a clear gap, signal, then change lanes when safe. Correct answer.

Explanation

A driver changing lanes must not endanger or obstruct traffic already in the lane being entered. You must signal and wait for a safe gap; the car already in the lane has priority.

Question 31Traffic rules and right-of-way

You approach a roundabout in a truck. A 'Give Way' sign is posted at the entry, and a car is already circulating toward your entry. What must you do?

  1. Yield to the car already circulating in the roundabout. Correct answer.
  2. Stop and wait until the roundabout is completely empty.
  3. Enter immediately because your truck is larger and more visible.
  4. Sound the horn and enter ahead of the circulating car.

Explanation

At a roundabout entry controlled by a Give Way sign, entering traffic must yield to vehicles already circulating. You need a safe gap in the circulating traffic before you enter. Vehicle size does not create a right of way, and a full stop is required only when traffic conditions make it necessary.

Question 32Traffic rules and right-of-way

At a green light you want to turn left across the path of oncoming traffic. An oncoming car is going straight. Who has priority?

  1. The vehicle that entered the intersection first.
  2. You, because you have a green light.
  3. You, because a truck needs more time to turn.
  4. The oncoming car going straight. Correct answer.

Explanation

A green light allows you to enter the intersection but does not give priority over oncoming traffic when you turn left. You must yield to vehicles coming from the opposite direction that are going straight or turning right. Wait until there is a safe gap before completing the turn.

Question 33Traffic rules and right-of-way

The light is green, but the road beyond the intersection is blocked by a queue of vehicles. What should you do?

  1. Sound the horn continuously and force a gap.
  2. Enter the intersection and stop in the middle until the queue moves.
  3. Drive around the queue on the wrong side of the road.
  4. Stay behind the stop line until there is space to clear the intersection. Correct answer.

Explanation

Even on a green light, you must not enter an intersection if you cannot clear it. Stopping inside the junction blocks cross traffic and may obstruct emergency vehicles. Wait behind the stop line until there is enough space beyond the intersection for your truck.

Question 34Traffic rules and right-of-way

You pass a sign marking the end of a priority road and reach the next intersection, which has no other signs or markings. How do you proceed?

  1. You have priority over all traffic because you are on a main road.
  2. You must stop completely at every such intersection.
  3. You must yield to vehicles approaching from your right. Correct answer.
  4. You still have priority because you came from a priority road.

Explanation

When priority-road status ends, the general right-hand rule applies at an unmarked intersection. You must give way to vehicles coming from your right and may need to stop if one is close. The earlier priority does not continue automatically after the end-of-priority sign.

Question 35Traffic rules and right-of-way

On a two-way road in a built-up area, a parked delivery truck blocks your lane. Oncoming traffic is approaching. Who must yield?

  1. Neither driver; both may proceed side by side.
  2. The oncoming driver, because your truck is larger.
  3. You, because your side of the road is blocked. Correct answer.
  4. The oncoming driver, because the obstacle is on your side.

Explanation

When an obstacle is on your side of the road, you must yield to oncoming traffic before crossing into the opposite lane. You may pass the obstacle only when the way is clear and it is safe to do so. The size of your vehicle does not give you priority.

Question 36Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck out of a parking area and must cross a pavement to reach the road. Pedestrians are walking on the pavement. Who has priority?

  1. You, because a truck cannot stop quickly once moving.
  2. You, because vehicles leaving parking areas have priority.
  3. You must yield to the pedestrians on the pavement. Correct answer.
  4. Neither; the first to reach the road edge goes.

Explanation

When you cross a pavement to enter or leave a parking area, you must give way to pedestrians using it. You may cross only after they have passed or when you can do so without endangering them. A vehicle leaving a parking area does not gain priority over pedestrians.

Question 37Traffic rules and right-of-way

A fire engine behind you switches on its siren and flashing blue lights. You are driving a truck on a single-lane road. What should you do?

  1. Maintain speed and lane because you have priority as a heavy vehicle.
  2. Brake sharply and stop in your lane immediately.
  3. Speed up to stay ahead until a wider road appears.
  4. Pull over as far as safely possible and let it pass. Correct answer.

Explanation

Emergency vehicles on an urgent call have priority, and you must make room for them. Pull over or stop where it is safe, without blocking the road or creating a new hazard. Do not brake suddenly in a way that could cause a collision behind you.

Question 38Traffic rules and right-of-way

At an intersection, traffic lights show green for your direction, but a police officer controlling traffic is facing you with an arm raised vertically. What does this mean?

  1. Proceed slowly and watch for other vehicles.
  2. Turn left only, because the raised arm indicates a left-turn phase.
  3. Continue, because the green light overrides the officer's signal.
  4. Stop, because the officer's signal overrides the traffic lights. Correct answer.

Explanation

A police officer's signals take precedence over traffic lights and road signs. A raised arm means stop for traffic facing the officer. Remain stopped until the officer gives a signal that allows you to proceed.

Question 39Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck toward a narrow bridge. An oncoming car has already entered the bridge and is crossing. What should you do?

  1. Flash your headlights so the car stops midway.
  2. Wait before the bridge and let the car finish crossing. Correct answer.
  3. Enter slowly and expect the car to reverse.
  4. Enter the bridge, because trucks have priority on bridges.

Explanation

A vehicle already on a narrow bridge has priority, so you must wait until it has cleared the bridge. Entering at the same time would create a conflict where neither vehicle can pass safely. The type of vehicle does not change this rule.

Question 40Traffic rules and right-of-way

The main light is red and there is no green arrow. You want to turn right into a side road. What must you do?

  1. Stop behind the stop line and wait for a green light. Correct answer.
  2. Proceed after slowing down if no pedestrian is crossing.
  3. Turn right after sounding the horn briefly.
  4. Turn right because right turns are always allowed at red lights.

Explanation

A red light means stop, and a right turn is not permitted unless a green arrow or another signal allows it. You must wait behind the stop line until the light turns green. Slowing down or sounding the horn does not replace the red-light requirement.

Question 41Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck on a paved road and reach an intersection with another paved road of equal importance. There are no traffic signs, markings, or signals. A car approaches from your right at about the same time. What must you do?

  1. Sound the horn and proceed without slowing.
  2. Yield to the car coming from your right and let it pass first. Correct answer.
  3. Yield only if the car is already inside the intersection.
  4. Proceed first because a truck is larger and takes longer to stop.

Explanation

At an unmarked intersection of roads of equal importance, the right-hand priority rule applies. The driver must give way to a vehicle approaching from the right. Vehicle size and horn use do not create priority.

Question 42Traffic rules and right-of-way

You approach an intersection where a 'STOP' sign and a stop line are present. The road is clear. What is required?

  1. Stop only if another vehicle is approaching.
  2. Stop after entering the intersection so you do not block the stop line.
  3. Stop completely at the stop line, then give way before entering. Correct answer.
  4. Slow down and continue if no vehicle is visible.

Explanation

A STOP sign requires a complete stop at the stop line, even when the road appears clear. After stopping, the driver must give way to traffic before entering the intersection. Rolling slowly past the line does not satisfy the sign.

Question 43Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck toward a railway level crossing. The barriers are raised, but a red light is flashing. What must you do?

  1. Stop before the crossing and wait until the red light stops flashing. Correct answer.
  2. Cross only after sounding the horn to warn the train.
  3. Slow down and cross if you cannot see a train.
  4. Continue because raised barriers mean the crossing is open.

Explanation

A flashing red light at a level crossing means stop, even if the barriers are still raised. The light warns of an approaching train and must be obeyed until it stops flashing. Never rely only on the barrier position.

Question 44Traffic rules and right-of-way

At a signalized intersection the traffic light is flashing yellow. There are no other signs or markings. How should you proceed?

  1. Slow down, approach with caution, and follow the right-hand priority rule. Correct answer.
  2. Treat the light as green and maintain your speed.
  3. Stop and wait for a green light before entering.
  4. Enter only if you are turning right.

Explanation

A flashing yellow light warns that the signal is not giving priority and that normal priority rules apply. The driver must slow down, proceed carefully, and give way according to the right-hand rule where applicable. It is not equivalent to a green light.

Question 45Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are entering a motorway from an acceleration lane in a truck. Traffic already on the motorway is approaching in the near lane. What must you do?

  1. Continue at your current speed because entering vehicles have priority.
  2. Move directly to the far lane so motorway traffic can pass.
  3. Stop at the end of the acceleration lane and wait for a gap.
  4. Adjust speed and give way to traffic already on the motorway. Correct answer.

Explanation

Traffic entering a motorway must give way to vehicles already using it. The acceleration lane should be used to match the speed of motorway traffic and merge safely. Entering vehicles do not have priority over established traffic.

Question 46Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck on a two-way road and approach a marked pedestrian crossing. A slow vehicle ahead is just beyond the crossing. May you overtake it?

  1. No, overtaking is prohibited at a pedestrian crossing. Correct answer.
  2. Only if the vehicle ahead signals that it is safe.
  3. Yes, provided you sound the horn before overtaking.
  4. Yes, if no pedestrian is visible on the crossing.

Explanation

Overtaking at a marked pedestrian crossing is prohibited because a pedestrian may step onto the crossing unexpectedly. The rule protects pedestrians and keeps the approach to the crossing clear. A signal from the vehicle ahead does not make overtaking lawful there.

Question 47Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck in a roundabout and intend to leave at the next exit. When should you signal right?

  1. Immediately after entering the roundabout.
  2. After passing the exit before the one you will take. Correct answer.
  3. You do not need to signal when leaving a roundabout.
  4. Only after you have left the roundabout.

Explanation

A driver leaving a roundabout should signal right after passing the exit before the intended one. This warns other road users of the exit without misleading them about an earlier exit. Signalling only after leaving is too late to be useful.

Question 48Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck on a road that ends at a T-junction with a through road. There are no signs, markings, or signals. What is the rule?

  1. Both vehicles must stop and then the one on the left goes first.
  2. The vehicle on the through road must give way to you.
  3. You must give way to traffic on the through road. Correct answer.
  4. The larger vehicle always has priority.

Explanation

At a T-junction where the road ends and joins a through road, traffic on the terminating road must give way. The driver cannot rely on vehicle size or on a left-first rule. The through road has priority in the absence of signs or signals.

Question 49Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a loaded truck downhill on a narrow mountain road. An uphill truck approaches, and the road is too narrow for both to pass. Who must give way?

  1. The uphill vehicle must reverse because it is lower.
  2. The downhill vehicle must give way to the uphill vehicle. Correct answer.
  3. The loaded truck always has priority.
  4. The vehicle with the larger engine must go first.

Explanation

On narrow mountain roads where passing is difficult, the descending vehicle must give way to the ascending vehicle. This rule reduces the risk and effort of reversing on a gradient. Load size or engine power does not change the priority.

Question 50Traffic rules and right-of-way

You are driving a truck and reach an unmarked intersection. A tram is approaching on rails that cross your path. Who has priority?

  1. The truck, because it is on the right.
  2. The tram, because rail vehicles have priority at such intersections. Correct answer.
  3. The vehicle that arrives first, regardless of type.
  4. The truck, if it is going straight ahead.

Explanation

At an unmarked intersection, a tram generally has priority over road vehicles because it cannot leave its rails. The truck driver must give way to the tram and must not obstruct its path. The ordinary right-hand rule does not override the tram's priority.
