Question 1Road signs, signals and road markings

On a Myanmar road, a circular sign with a red border and a white background generally indicates what?

  1. A prohibition or restriction that drivers must obey Correct answer.
  2. A warning of a hazard ahead
  3. A mandatory direction to follow
  4. A service facility available ahead

Explanation

In Myanmar the circular shape with a red rim is reserved for regulatory signs that impose a prohibition or restriction, such as a speed limit or a no-entry rule. Warning signs use triangles and mandatory signs use blue circles, so the red-ringed circle always signals something you must not do or must keep within.

Question 2Road signs, signals and road markings

A triangular road sign with a red border and a symbol inside is placed to warn drivers of what?

  1. A compulsory action required at the junction
  2. A hazard or dangerous condition ahead Correct answer.
  3. A parking restriction in force
  4. The end of a built-up area

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs; the symbol inside tells you what hazard lies ahead, such as a bend, a school or a slippery surface. They tell you to slow down and prepare rather than to obey a legal prohibition.

Question 3Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a solid continuous white line along the centre of a two-way road mean for a driver?

  1. Overtaking is permitted if the road ahead is clear
  2. You may cross it to enter a side road at any time
  3. It marks the edge of a parking bay
  4. You must not cross or straddle it to overtake Correct answer.

Explanation

A continuous centre line is a prohibition on crossing: you must keep to your own side and must not overtake by crossing or straddling it. It is placed where visibility or traffic conditions make overtaking unsafe.

Question 4Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaching a steady red traffic light must do what?

  1. Slow down and proceed if no other vehicle is visible
  2. Stop behind the stop line and wait until the light turns green Correct answer.
  3. Stop only if a police officer is present
  4. Sound the horn and continue through the junction

Explanation

A steady red light is an absolute instruction to stop at the stop line and remain stationary until a green light or a authorised signal permits movement. The absence of visible traffic does not make it lawful to proceed.

Question 5Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the meaning of a yellow box junction marked with diagonal yellow lines on the road surface?

  1. You must not enter unless your exit is clear Correct answer.
  2. You may stop there while waiting to turn right
  3. It is a reserved area for loading goods
  4. It marks a pedestrian crossing zone

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to keep the junction clear: you should not enter the box unless your exit is clear, apart from when waiting to turn right and blocked only by oncoming traffic. Stopping inside the box otherwise blocks cross traffic.

Question 6Road signs, signals and road markings

A blue circular sign showing a white arrow pointing left requires the driver to do what?

  1. Turn left ahead as a compulsory direction Correct answer.
  2. Avoid turning left because the road is closed
  3. Turn left only if traffic permits
  4. Give way to traffic coming from the left

Explanation

Blue circular signs give positive instructions. A white arrow on blue means the movement shown is compulsory, so the driver must turn left at that point rather than choosing another direction.

Question 7Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a broken white line along the centre of the road allow a driver to do?

  1. Exceed the speed limit while overtaking
  2. Park on either side of it at night
  3. Drive on the right-hand side permanently
  4. Cross it to overtake when it is safe to do so Correct answer.

Explanation

A broken centre line permits crossing for overtaking or turning provided the manoeuvre is safe and legal. It does not change speed limits or parking rules, and the driver must still return to the correct side.

Question 8Road signs, signals and road markings

A flashing red light at a railway level crossing in Myanmar means the driver should do what?

  1. Reduce speed and cross without stopping
  2. Stop and wait until the lights stop flashing Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn and cross quickly
  4. Proceed with caution if the barrier is still up

Explanation

Flashing red lights at a level crossing mean a train is approaching, so the driver must stop and remain stopped until the lights cease and the way is clear. A raised barrier does not cancel the warning.

Question 9Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle with a white horizontal bar on a blue background. What does it prohibit?

  1. Entry for all vehicles Correct answer.
  2. Turning right
  3. Parking at any time
  4. Overtaking other vehicles

Explanation

The red circle with a white horizontal bar is the no-entry sign; it tells drivers they must not enter that road or lane. It is commonly placed at the exit of a one-way street or a restricted access point.

Question 10Road signs, signals and road markings

On a road with a broken white line on your side and a solid white line on the opposite side, when may you cross the lines to overtake?

  1. Only when you can complete the manoeuvre without crossing the solid line Correct answer.
  2. Whenever the vehicle ahead is travelling slowly
  3. Only during daylight hours
  4. Never, because any centre line forbids overtaking

Explanation

Where the two lines differ, the line nearest the driver governs. Your broken line permits crossing, but you must not cross or straddle the solid line on the other side, so the overtake is lawful only if it can be finished within your permitted side.

Question 11Road signs, signals and road markings

What is the purpose of a stop line painted across your lane at a junction controlled by a stop sign?

  1. To mark the point where parking becomes permitted
  2. To indicate the start of an overtaking zone
  3. To separate opposing streams of traffic
  4. To show where you must come to a complete stop before proceeding Correct answer.

Explanation

A stop line is the legal point at which a vehicle must halt at a stop sign or signal. You must stop with your vehicle behind the line so that you can see and be seen before entering the junction.

Question 12Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches an intersection where the traffic lights are not working and a police officer is directing traffic. Whose instruction should the driver follow?

  1. The road markings, because they never change
  2. The traffic light signal, because it is permanent
  3. The vehicle in front, by following its path
  4. The police officer's hand signals Correct answer.

Explanation

When a police officer is controlling traffic, the officer's signals take precedence over the fixed traffic lights and markings. Drivers must obey the officer even if the light shows a different colour.

Question 13Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a red circle containing the number 40 mean on a Myanmar road?

  1. The maximum speed is 40 km/h Correct answer.
  2. The minimum speed is 40 km/h
  3. The recommended speed for the road is 40 km/h
  4. The distance to the next town is 40 km

Explanation

A red-ringed circle with a number is a regulatory speed-limit sign showing the maximum permitted speed in kilometres per hour. Exceeding it is an offence, and the limit applies until a different limit sign is passed.

Question 14Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is travelling in the left lane and sees a broken white line separating it from the right lane on a one-way street. What does this marking indicate?

  1. Lane changing is prohibited at all times
  2. Lane changing is permitted when it is safe Correct answer.
  3. The right lane is reserved for oncoming traffic
  4. The left lane is reserved for buses only

Explanation

Broken white lines between lanes on a one-way carriageway divide lanes travelling in the same direction and permit lane changes when safe. A solid line would restrict lane changing, and lane-use restrictions are shown by symbols or signs.

Question 15Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a sign showing a red diagonal line across a blue circle with a white 'P' mean?

  1. Parking is permitted only for disabled drivers
  2. Parking is permitted for a limited period
  3. No parking is allowed at any time Correct answer.
  4. A parking building is ahead

Explanation

A blue circle with a 'P' and a red diagonal slash is the no-parking sign, meaning vehicles may not be parked in that area. A 'P' without the slash indicates permitted parking, sometimes with a time plate.

Question 16Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a series of short white dashes painted across the road just before a junction. What is this marking intended to do?

  1. Show that overtaking is compulsory
  2. Mark the boundary of a parking area
  3. Indicate the edge of the carriageway
  4. Warn the driver to slow down as a hazard approaches Correct answer.

Explanation

Transverse dash markings are hazard-warning lines that alert drivers to a change ahead, such as a junction, a bend or a reduction in speed limit. They prompt the driver to check speed and be prepared to stop.

Question 17Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a green traffic light mean when it is accompanied by a green arrow pointing in one direction?

  1. Traffic may proceed only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  2. All traffic must stop except those turning right
  3. Traffic may proceed in any direction without restriction
  4. Pedestrians have priority over all vehicles

Explanation

A green arrow is a directional signal: it permits movement only in the direction shown, even if other movements remain prohibited by a red light. Drivers must follow the arrow rather than assuming the whole junction is open.

Question 18Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a junction marked with a 'give way' sign and a broken double line across the lane. What is the correct action?

  1. Stop completely at the line before proceeding
  2. Accelerate to merge ahead of approaching traffic
  3. Slow down and be prepared to stop, giving way to traffic on the main road Correct answer.
  4. Sound the horn and continue without yielding

Explanation

A give-way sign with a broken double line requires the driver to slow down, look and yield to traffic already on the priority road, stopping only if necessary. A full stop is mandatory only at a stop sign with a solid stop line.

Question 19Road signs, signals and road markings

What is indicated by a sign showing a red triangle with a symbol of a pedestrian on a crossing?

  1. A school is closed for the day
  2. A pedestrian crossing is ahead and drivers should be prepared to stop Correct answer.
  3. Pedestrians are prohibited from crossing here
  4. A footpath runs parallel to the road

Explanation

The warning triangle with a pedestrian symbol alerts drivers that a pedestrian crossing lies ahead, so they should reduce speed and be ready to stop for people on the crossing. It is a warning, not a prohibition.

Question 20Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is on a road where the centre line consists of two solid white lines. What does this mean?

  1. Both directions may cross to overtake if the road is clear
  2. Only vehicles travelling uphill may cross
  3. The lines mark a bus lane boundary
  4. Neither direction may cross the lines to overtake Correct answer.

Explanation

Double solid white lines prohibit crossing by traffic in either direction, typically because visibility or the road layout makes overtaking unsafe. The restriction applies to both streams of traffic.

Question 21Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a yellow line painted along the edge of the carriageway. What does this normally indicate?

  1. The speed limit is reduced to 20 km/h
  2. The edge may be used as an overtaking lane
  3. Parking and waiting restrictions apply along that edge Correct answer.
  4. The road is a one-way street

Explanation

A yellow edge line marks parking and waiting restrictions along the kerb; the exact hours are usually given on nearby plates or signs. It does not create an overtaking lane or alter the speed limit by itself.

Question 22Road signs, signals and road markings

At a signal-controlled junction, a driver waiting to turn right sees a green arrow for straight-ahead traffic only. What should the driver do?

  1. Turn right immediately because the light is green
  2. Reverse out of the junction and take another route
  3. Proceed straight ahead instead of turning
  4. Wait until a signal permits the right turn or the way is clear and safe Correct answer.

Explanation

A green arrow authorises only the movement it shows. A driver intending to turn right must wait for a signal that permits that movement, or for a safe gap when the general light allows, and must still give way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.

Question 23Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing a black car and a red diagonal line. What does it mean?

  1. Cars must keep to the left lane
  2. Motor vehicles are prohibited from entering Correct answer.
  3. Overtaking by cars is prohibited
  4. A car park is available ahead

Explanation

A red-ringed circle with a vehicle symbol and a diagonal slash is a prohibition sign banning that class of vehicle from the road or area. It applies to motor vehicles generally when the symbol is a car.

Question 24Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver on a multi-lane road sees a solid white line separating the left lane from the right lane, with arrows in the left lane pointing straight ahead. What is the correct interpretation?

  1. The left lane may be used for overtaking at any time
  2. The left lane is for turning left only and lane changing is restricted Correct answer.
  3. The right lane is reserved for slow vehicles
  4. Both lanes permit unrestricted lane changing

Explanation

A solid line between lanes restricts lane changing, and lane arrows show the direction each lane serves. Together they mean the left lane is dedicated to the movement shown and drivers should not cross the solid line casually.

Question 25Road signs, signals and road markings

What does a flashing amber light at a pedestrian crossing indicate to a driver?

  1. Drivers may proceed only when the crossing is clear of pedestrians Correct answer.
  2. Vehicles must stop immediately and remain stopped
  3. Pedestrians must not use the crossing
  4. The crossing is out of order and should be ignored

Explanation

A flashing amber signal at a pedestrian crossing means drivers must give way to pedestrians on the crossing but may proceed once it is clear. It is distinct from a steady red, which requires a complete stop.

Question 26Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver approaches a roundabout and sees a sign showing three white arrows chasing each other in a circle on a blue background. What does this sign tell the driver?

  1. A sharp bend to the right follows immediately after the sign
  2. A roundabout is ahead and traffic circulates in the direction shown by the arrows Correct answer.
  3. A parking area with circular one-way flow is available ahead
  4. A compulsory U-turn is permitted at the next junction

Explanation

In Myanmar, as in most of the region, a blue circular sign with white arrows arranged in a ring is a mandatory-direction sign warning that a roundabout lies ahead. The arrows show the direction in which vehicles must circulate around the central island. Drivers must slow down and give way to traffic already on the circulatory carriageway.

Question 27Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a red triangle sign containing a symbol of a vehicle skidding with wavy tyre marks behind it. What should the driver expect?

  1. A vehicle inspection checkpoint ahead
  2. A steep downhill gradient requiring low gear
  3. A slippery road surface ahead where grip is reduced Correct answer.
  4. A section where overtaking is prohibited

Explanation

Red triangular signs are warning signs, and the skidding-vehicle symbol warns of a slippery surface ahead, often caused by rain, oil, or loose material. The driver should reduce speed, avoid sudden braking or steering, and increase the gap to the vehicle in front.

Question 28Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign with a red circle containing a white arrow pointing straight ahead and another white arrow curving to the right, with a red diagonal bar across the right-curving arrow. What does this mean?

  1. Both straight and right turns are permitted
  2. Proceed straight ahead only; turning right is prohibited Correct answer.
  3. Stop and wait for a police officer's signal
  4. Turn right only; proceeding straight is prohibited

Explanation

A red diagonal bar across one arrow on a blue mandatory-direction sign cancels that movement while the remaining arrow shows the only permitted direction. Here the straight arrow remains valid and the barred right-turn arrow means right turns are prohibited at that point.

Question 29Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a red circle containing a black motorcycle symbol. What does this sign require?

  1. Motorcycles are prohibited from proceeding beyond the sign Correct answer.
  2. A motorcycle repair facility is located ahead
  3. Motorcyclists must wear helmets beyond this point
  4. Motorcycles must use the left-hand lane only

Explanation

A red circle with a vehicle symbol inside is a prohibition sign. Showing a motorcycle inside the red circle means motorcycles may not proceed past that point. The prohibition applies to the class of vehicle depicted, regardless of who is riding it.

Question 30Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle containing the number 30 with a red diagonal bar through it. What does this sign indicate?

  1. The end of a 30 km/h speed limit zone Correct answer.
  2. A 30 km/h limit applies only to heavy vehicles
  3. A minimum speed of 30 km/h must be maintained
  4. A 30-metre stopping distance is required ahead

Explanation

A red circle with a number sets a maximum speed, and a diagonal bar through it marks the end of that restriction. The sign therefore tells the driver that the 30 km/h zone has ended and the national or local default limit now applies.

Question 31Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a rectangular blue sign with a white symbol of a telephone handset. What is this sign intended to do?

  1. Direct the driver to a police telephone checkpoint
  2. Warn that telephone cables cross the road overhead
  3. Inform the driver that a public telephone is available ahead Correct answer.
  4. Require the driver to switch off a mobile phone

Explanation

Rectangular blue signs are information signs. A telephone handset symbol indicates that a public telephone facility is available nearby, typically at a lay-by or service area. It is guidance rather than a rule the driver must obey.

Question 32Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle containing a black and white barrier symbol, and the road ahead has a level crossing with a barrier. What does the sign warn?

  1. A weighbridge for goods vehicles is ahead
  2. A level crossing with barriers is ahead, so the driver should be ready to stop Correct answer.
  3. A toll booth requires payment before proceeding
  4. A road closure barrier blocks all traffic permanently

Explanation

The barrier symbol in a warning context alerts the driver to a level crossing equipped with gates or barriers. The driver should approach at a controlled speed and be prepared to stop if the barrier is closed or the warning lights are active.

Question 33Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a red triangle sign showing a symbol of two children running. What hazard does this sign warn of?

  1. A sports stadium with heavy event traffic
  2. A school or playground area where children may cross unexpectedly Correct answer.
  3. A pedestrian zone closed to all vehicles
  4. A hospital entrance with ambulance traffic

Explanation

The children symbol in a warning triangle indicates a school, playground, or area where children are likely to be near or crossing the road. Drivers should reduce speed and watch for sudden movements, especially at school opening and closing times.

Question 34Road signs, signals and road markings

At a junction controlled by traffic lights, a driver sees a red light together with a green arrow pointing left. What should the driver do?

  1. Proceed in any direction because a green signal is showing
  2. Stop completely and treat the green arrow as an error
  3. Proceed with the left turn, yielding to any traffic or pedestrians with priority Correct answer.
  4. Wait until the full green light appears before moving

Explanation

A green arrow is a directional signal that permits movement only in the direction of the arrow, even while the main light is red. The driver may make the left turn but must still give way to pedestrians and to traffic already lawfully in the junction.

Question 35Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver is approaching a junction and sees a flashing amber light on the signal head. In Myanmar practice, what does a flashing amber signal mean?

  1. Accelerate to clear the junction before the light changes
  2. The signal is out of order and no rules apply
  3. Stop completely and wait for a green light
  4. Proceed with caution, giving way as required by the junction's rules Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing amber signal warns drivers to proceed cautiously, typically because the signal is operating in a part-time or fault mode. The driver must still obey give-way rules, road markings, and any officer directing traffic at the junction.

Question 36Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a solid yellow line painted along the centre of the road beside a solid white line. What does this combination normally mean?

  1. The yellow line shows where parking is compulsory
  2. The yellow line restricts crossing for traffic on that side, so overtaking is not permitted there Correct answer.
  3. The yellow line marks a lane reserved for buses at all times
  4. The yellow line indicates the edge of a private property boundary

Explanation

Where a yellow centre line is used, it carries a stricter restriction than white, and a solid yellow line on the driver's side means that side may not cross it. The paired solid white line reinforces the separation, so overtaking that requires crossing the lines is prohibited in that section.

Question 37Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a large white arrow painted on the road surface in their lane pointing straight ahead, while their intended route requires a right turn at the junction ahead. What is the correct action?

  1. Turn right from the lane despite the arrow
  2. Reverse out of the lane and move to another lane
  3. Continue straight as the lane directs and find a lawful route to the destination later Correct answer.
  4. Stop in the lane and wait for the arrow to change

Explanation

Directional arrows painted in a lane tell drivers which movements that lane is designated for, and drivers should follow the arrow for the lane they are in. If the lane does not permit the intended turn, the driver must continue in the permitted direction and reroute lawfully.

Question 38Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a box junction marked with yellow criss-cross lines ahead and the exit beyond it is blocked by queuing traffic. What should the driver do?

  1. Enter the box and sound the horn to clear the queue
  2. Wait before the box until there is space to clear it completely Correct answer.
  3. Drive around the box using the opposing lane
  4. Enter the box and stop inside it until traffic moves

Explanation

A yellow box junction is designed to keep the junction clear, and a driver must not enter it unless the exit is clear enough to leave it without stopping. If traffic beyond the box is stationary, the driver should wait at the entry line until space becomes available.

Question 39Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a sign showing a red circle containing a white horizontal bar on a red background, mounted above a lane. What does this lane signal mean?

  1. The lane leads to a mandatory stop checkpoint
  2. The lane is reserved for overtaking only
  3. The lane is closed to traffic and must not be used Correct answer.
  4. The lane is open but has a height restriction

Explanation

A red circle with a horizontal white bar is the standard 'no entry' or lane-closed symbol, and when mounted over a lane it means that lane is not to be used. Drivers should move to a lane that is open before reaching the restriction.

Question 40Road signs, signals and road markings

A driver sees a broken yellow line along the edge of the carriageway. What does this marking normally indicate?

  1. The lane beyond the line is reserved for cyclists only
  2. A stopping or parking restriction applies along that edge Correct answer.
  3. A pedestrian crossing begins at that point
  4. The edge of the road is unregulated and parking is free at all times

Explanation

Yellow edge markings are used to indicate that stopping or parking controls apply along the edge of the carriageway. A broken yellow line generally signals a restriction that applies during specified periods or with conditions, so the driver should check nearby signs before stopping.

Question 41Traffic rules and right-of-way

Under Myanmar traffic rules, at an uncontrolled T-junction where a side road meets a main road, which vehicle has the right of way?

  1. The vehicle on the main road continuing straight Correct answer.
  2. The vehicle emerging from the side road
  3. Whichever vehicle arrives first
  4. The larger vehicle

Explanation

At an uncontrolled T-junction the through road has priority, so traffic already on the main road keeps the right of way. A vehicle emerging from the side road must slow, look and yield before entering or crossing the main road.

Question 42Traffic rules and right-of-way

Two vehicles reach an uncontrolled four-way intersection at the same moment on different roads. The driver on the left should do what?

  1. Sound the horn and continue
  2. Reverse to clear the junction
  3. Proceed first because they are on the left
  4. Yield to the vehicle approaching from the right Correct answer.

Explanation

Where two vehicles arrive simultaneously at an uncontrolled intersection, the driver on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. This prevents deadlock and gives a predictable rule when neither road is a through road.

Question 43Traffic rules and right-of-way

A driver intends to turn right at a junction in Myanmar. Before turning, the driver must primarily give way to which road users?

  1. Pedestrians on the far pavement only
  2. Vehicles behind waiting to overtake
  3. Oncoming traffic going straight or turning left Correct answer.
  4. Cyclists riding in the same direction

Explanation

A right-turning driver crosses the path of oncoming traffic and must yield to vehicles coming straight ahead or turning left. The turn is only made when the crossing is clear and safe.

Question 44Traffic rules and right-of-way

At a marked pedestrian crossing with no signal, a pedestrian has stepped onto the roadway. What must the driver do?

  1. Continue if there is space to pass behind
  2. Reduce speed but keep moving
  3. Stop and let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  4. Flash headlights and proceed

Explanation

Once a pedestrian is on a marked crossing, approaching drivers must stop and allow them to cross safely. Yielding means stopping, not weaving around the person.

Question 45Traffic rules and right-of-way

An ambulance with siren sounding and red/blue lights flashing approaches from behind. What is the correct response?

  1. Brake sharply in the lane
  2. Stop in the middle of the lane
  3. Speed up to stay ahead of it
  4. Pull over safely and let it pass Correct answer.

Explanation

Emergency vehicles on an active call have priority, so drivers should move aside safely and allow them through. Sudden braking or stopping in the lane creates a new hazard.

Question 46Traffic rules and right-of-way

What does a solid white line along the centre of a two-way road in Myanmar indicate?

  1. The road is one-way
  2. Overtaking is permitted at any time
  3. Crossing the line is prohibited Correct answer.
  4. Parking is allowed on the line

Explanation

A solid centre line means drivers must not cross it, so overtaking that requires crossing the line is prohibited. The restriction protects against head-on conflicts on stretches with limited visibility.

Question 47Traffic rules and right-of-way

A driver approaching a roundabout must give way to which traffic?

  1. Vehicles on the exit road
  2. Vehicles waiting behind
  3. Vehicles already circulating in the roundabout Correct answer.
  4. Vehicles entering from the left

Explanation

Traffic already inside the roundabout has priority, so entering drivers must yield and merge when it is clear. Entering without yielding disrupts the circulating flow and causes side-impact collisions.

Question 48Traffic rules and right-of-way

When may a driver use the horn in a built-up area of Myanmar?

  1. To greet other drivers
  2. To signal a turn
  3. To warn of immediate danger Correct answer.
  4. To hurry the vehicle ahead

Explanation

The horn is a warning device for imminent danger, not a way to express impatience or greet others. In built-up areas unnecessary horn use is restricted because it adds noise and confusion.

Question 49Traffic rules and right-of-way

A vehicle is following a slow-moving truck on a two-lane road with a broken centre line. When is overtaking permitted?

  1. Only when the opposite lane is clear and there is enough distance to complete the manoeuvre safely Correct answer.
  2. Whenever the driver flashes headlights
  3. Only if the truck signals left
  4. Immediately, as soon as the line is broken

Explanation

A broken line permits overtaking in principle, but the driver must confirm the opposite lane is clear and that there is sufficient sight distance to finish safely. The line alone does not make a particular overtake safe.

Question 50Traffic rules and right-of-way

A driver is entering a priority road from a minor road marked with a 'Give Way' sign. What is required?

  1. Sound the horn and proceed
  2. Stop only if another vehicle is visible
  3. Slow or stop and yield to traffic on the priority road Correct answer.
  4. Accelerate to merge ahead of traffic

Explanation

A Give Way sign requires the driver to slow or stop as needed and yield to traffic on the priority road. Proceeding is allowed only when the way is clear and safe.
