Question 1Traffic regulations and road signs

In Belgium, what does a circular sign with a red border and a white centre, containing the number 50, mean?

  1. Minimum speed is 50 km/h
  2. Maximum speed is limited to 50 km/h Correct answer.
  3. The road number is 50
  4. A speed of 50 km/h is recommended

Explanation

A circular sign with a red rim is a prohibition sign, and the black number inside gives the value of the prohibition. So a 50 in a red circle sets the maximum permitted speed at 50 km/h until a sign cancels it or another limit appears.

Question 2Traffic regulations and road signs

You approach a round blue sign showing a white arrow pointing to the right. What does it require?

  1. Give way to traffic from the right
  2. Pass to the right of the obstacle or island Correct answer.
  3. Turn right at the next junction
  4. Right lane ends ahead

Explanation

A round blue sign gives a mandatory instruction. A white arrow pointing right means you must pass on the right-hand side of the obstacle, island or traffic divider ahead, not that you must take the next right turn.

Question 3Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the general rule for the colour of temporary road markings at roadworks in Belgium?

  1. They are white, like permanent markings
  2. They are yellow and override the white markings Correct answer.
  3. They are red and only apply at night
  4. They are orange and only advisory

Explanation

At roadworks, temporary yellow markings are used and take precedence over the permanent white lines. Drivers must follow the yellow lines even where they contradict the old white markings still visible on the surface.

Question 4Traffic regulations and road signs

A triangular sign with a red border shows a black symbol of a bicycle. What is this sign telling you?

  1. Cyclists are prohibited beyond this point
  2. A mandatory cycle path begins here
  3. Cyclists must give way to you
  4. A warning of cyclists or a cycle crossing ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

Triangular signs with a red border are warning signs, so the bicycle symbol warns that cyclists may be on or crossing the road ahead. Prohibition and mandatory cycle signs are round, not triangular.

Question 5Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving and see a sign showing two arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down, on a blue background. What does it indicate?

  1. Overtaking is prohibited
  2. Oncoming traffic must stop
  3. Priority over oncoming vehicles
  4. Two-way traffic ahead Correct answer.

Explanation

The blue square with a black up arrow and a red down arrow warns that two-way traffic is resuming or present ahead. It is informational and reminds you that oncoming vehicles will share the carriageway.

Question 6Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a continuous white line along the centre of the carriageway generally mean?

  1. It marks the edge of a parking zone
  2. You may not cross or straddle it Correct answer.
  3. It only applies to heavy vehicles
  4. You may cross it to overtake if the road is clear

Explanation

A continuous centre line is a prohibition on crossing or straddling it, so overtaking that requires crossing the line is not allowed. It applies to all drivers, and only specific exceptions such as passing a cyclist or a stationary obstacle may be permitted where the line can be crossed safely.

Question 7Traffic regulations and road signs

On a Belgian motorway, what is the general maximum speed for a car in dry conditions?

  1. 100 km/h
  2. 130 km/h
  3. 90 km/h
  4. 120 km/h Correct answer.

Explanation

The general motorway limit for cars in Belgium is 120 km/h in dry weather. Lower limits apply in rain, in tunnels, at roadworks or where signs indicate a lower figure.

Question 8Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the general speed limit for cars on ordinary roads outside built-up areas in Belgium, unless signs say otherwise?

  1. 90 km/h Correct answer.
  2. 70 km/h
  3. 80 km/h
  4. 120 km/h

Explanation

Outside built-up areas the standard limit for cars is 90 km/h unless a sign shows a different figure. This applies to ordinary roads, while motorways have their own higher limit.

Question 9Traffic regulations and road signs

You enter a built-up area marked by a place-name sign with a red border. What speed limit applies unless other signs say otherwise?

  1. 50 km/h Correct answer.
  2. 30 km/h
  3. 70 km/h
  4. 80 km/h

Explanation

Passing the place-name sign at the entrance to a built-up area automatically imposes the general urban limit of 50 km/h. The limit stays in force until you pass the matching sign marking the end of the built-up area.

Question 10Traffic regulations and road signs

A red traffic light is showing and you want to turn right. What is the rule in Belgium?

  1. You may turn right only if a small orange arrow sign permits it and you give way Correct answer.
  2. You may never turn right on red under any circumstances
  3. You may turn right if no police officer is present
  4. You may turn right after slowing down

Explanation

A red light means stop, and turning right on red is allowed only where an additional orange arrow sign expressly permits it. When that sign is present you must still give way to other traffic and to pedestrians before proceeding.

Question 11Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a flashing orange traffic light at an intersection mean?

  1. The lights are out of order and you have absolute priority
  2. Stop and wait for green
  3. Only pedestrians may proceed
  4. Proceed with caution, respecting the normal priority rules Correct answer.

Explanation

A flashing orange light means the signals are not giving priority instructions, so normal priority rules apply. You may proceed but must approach with caution and yield where the standard right-of-way rules require it.

Question 12Traffic regulations and road signs

At a crossroads with no signs, no markings and no traffic lights, what is the default priority rule in Belgium?

  1. The vehicle going straight on has priority
  2. The faster vehicle has priority
  3. The wider road has priority
  4. Traffic coming from the right has priority Correct answer.

Explanation

Where nothing else regulates priority, the rule of priority to the right applies: you must give way to vehicles approaching from your right. Road width, speed and direction of travel do not change this default.

Question 13Traffic regulations and road signs

You are on a road marked with a yellow diamond sign with a white border. What does it tell you?

  1. You must give way at the next junction
  2. The road is a toll road
  3. You are on a priority road and have right of way at junctions Correct answer.
  4. A pedestrian zone starts here

Explanation

The yellow diamond indicates a priority road, meaning you have right of way over traffic joining from side roads. The sign is cancelled by the same diamond with a black diagonal bar, after which normal priority rules resume.

Question 14Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the meaning of a blue square sign showing a white 'P'?

  1. A passing place is ahead
  2. A police checkpoint is ahead
  3. Parking is prohibited
  4. Parking is permitted in the area indicated Correct answer.

Explanation

The white P on a blue square is an information sign indicating that parking is available or permitted in the area it marks. Additional panels may restrict duration, times or user categories.

Question 15Traffic regulations and road signs

A sign shows a red circle with a diagonal red bar over a black car symbol. What does it mean?

  1. Cars may not overtake
  2. End of a motorway
  3. Cars must keep right
  4. No entry for motor vehicles Correct answer.

Explanation

A red circle with a diagonal bar is a prohibition, and the symbol inside identifies what is prohibited. A car symbol under a bar therefore means motor vehicles are not allowed beyond the sign.

Question 16Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving at night and a sign warns of a level crossing with barriers ahead. How should you adjust your approach?

  1. Sound your horn continuously until you cross
  2. Maintain speed because barriers protect you
  3. Flash your headlights and continue at the same speed
  4. Reduce speed and be ready to stop before the crossing Correct answer.

Explanation

Warning signs for a level crossing with barriers require you to slow down and be prepared to stop if the barriers are closing or the lights are flashing. Barriers reduce but do not remove the risk of a vehicle being trapped on the tracks.

Question 17Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a broken white line along the centre of the road permit?

  1. Driving on the left side permanently
  2. Crossing it to overtake when it is safe Correct answer.
  3. Exceeding the speed limit to overtake
  4. Parking on the carriageway

Explanation

A broken centre line may be crossed for overtaking or turning when you can do so safely and without hindering oncoming traffic. It does not create any exemption from speed limits or parking rules.

Question 18Traffic regulations and road signs

A sign shows a white bicycle on a blue round background. What does it require?

  1. Cyclists must give way to cars
  2. A compulsory cycle path or lane that cyclists must use Correct answer.
  3. Cyclists may use the road only at night
  4. Cycling is prohibited

Explanation

A round blue sign gives a mandatory instruction, so a bicycle symbol means cyclists must use the designated cycle path or lane. It is not a prohibition and does not change priority at junctions by itself.

Question 19Traffic regulations and road signs

You see a triangular warning sign showing a traffic light symbol. What should you expect?

  1. A police checkpoint with lights
  2. Traffic lights that are permanently green
  3. A pedestrian crossing without lights
  4. Traffic lights ahead that may be hidden or newly installed Correct answer.

Explanation

The traffic-light warning sign alerts you that signals are ahead, often where they are hard to see in time, such as after a bend or crest. You should reduce speed so you can stop if the light turns red.

Question 20Traffic regulations and road signs

What is the purpose of a chevron sign (a rectangular sign with black arrows on white) placed on the outside of a bend?

  1. To indicate a parking area
  2. To mark a bus stop
  3. To show the end of a priority road
  4. To indicate the direction of the bend and guide you through it Correct answer.

Explanation

Chevron signs are alignment markers that show the direction of a sharp bend so drivers can judge the curve, especially at night or in poor visibility. They do not regulate priority or parking.

Question 21Traffic regulations and road signs

A driver approaches a junction where a stop sign is accompanied by a thick continuous white line across the lane. Where must the vehicle stop?

  1. Before the stop line, or at the edge of the crossing road if there is no line Correct answer.
  2. After crossing the stop line so the driver can see
  3. Anywhere within ten metres of the sign
  4. Only if another vehicle is approaching

Explanation

A stop sign requires a complete stop before the stop line, and where no line is painted, at the edge of the intersecting carriageway. Stopping beyond the line can obstruct crossing traffic and pedestrians.

Question 22Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving in a built-up area and pass a sign showing a red circle with '30' inside, mounted together with a zone sign. What does this mean?

  1. A 30 km/h zone applies to all streets until an end-of-zone sign Correct answer.
  2. The limit applies only to vehicles over 3.5 tonnes
  3. The 30 km/h limit applies only to the next junction
  4. The limit applies only during school hours

Explanation

A zone sign combined with a 30 limit creates a zone in which the limit applies to every street within it, not just the road you are on. The zone remains in force until a matching end-of-zone sign is passed.

Question 23Traffic regulations and road signs

At an intersection controlled by traffic lights, the lights fail and only a flashing orange signal remains. A police officer is directing traffic with arm signals. Whose instructions do you follow?

  1. The vehicle in front, by following its path
  2. The police officer, whose signals override the lights and signs Correct answer.
  3. The traffic lights, because they are official equipment
  4. The road markings, because they are permanent

Explanation

Instructions from a police officer directing traffic take precedence over traffic lights, signs and markings. When signals fail, the officer's arm signals govern the junction and you must follow them even if they contradict the lights.

Question 24Traffic regulations and road signs

A bus is signalling to leave a bus stop in a built-up area. What does Belgian traffic law require of you as a driver approaching from behind?

  1. You must always stop completely until the bus has left
  2. You must give way to the bus pulling out where it is safe and required to do so Correct answer.
  3. You must sound your horn to warn the bus
  4. You have priority because you are already on the carriageway

Explanation

In built-up areas drivers must facilitate buses leaving a stop, slowing or giving way when the bus is signalling its intention to rejoin the traffic flow. This does not require an emergency stop, but you must not force the bus to wait unnecessarily.

Question 25Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a rectangular blue sign showing a white symbol of a motorway with a bridge over it indicate?

  1. The start of a motorway, where motorway rules apply Correct answer.
  2. The end of a motorway
  3. A weight restriction applies
  4. A tunnel is closed ahead

Explanation

The blue sign with the motorway symbol marks the beginning of a motorway, where specific rules apply such as the ban on pedestrians, cyclists and slow vehicles. The same symbol crossed by a diagonal bar marks the end of motorway status.

Question 26Traffic regulations and road signs

You are approaching a pedestrian crossing where a pedestrian is already waiting on the pavement, clearly intending to cross. What does Belgian traffic law require you to do?

  1. Continue at the same speed because the pedestrian has not yet stepped onto the road
  2. Slow down and give way, stopping if necessary to let the pedestrian cross Correct answer.
  3. Pass the pedestrian only after flashing your headlights to signal them to wait
  4. Sound your horn once to warn the pedestrian before continuing

Explanation

At a marked pedestrian crossing, drivers must approach at a speed that allows them to stop and must give way to pedestrians who are crossing or clearly about to cross. The obligation starts when the pedestrian shows a clear intention, not only when they are already on the roadway.

Question 27Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving in a built-up area and see a round blue sign showing a white pedestrian symbol on a footpath-style background. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A parking area reserved for residents
  2. A warning that pedestrians may cross anywhere in the next 100 metres
  3. A compulsory path reserved for pedestrians Correct answer.
  4. An entrance to a pedestrian zone where cycling is encouraged

Explanation

A round blue sign with a white symbol gives a mandatory instruction. With a pedestrian symbol it designates a path that is reserved for the use of pedestrians.

Question 28Traffic regulations and road signs

A traffic light shows a green arrow pointing left while the main light is red. What does this mean for a driver turning left?

  1. You may only turn left if a police officer signals you to do so
  2. You must wait because the main light is red
  3. You may turn left, but you must yield to traffic coming from the opposite direction and to pedestrians Correct answer.
  4. You may turn left with absolute priority over all other traffic

Explanation

A green arrow authorises movement in the direction shown even when the main light is red, but it does not create priority. The driver must still give way to oncoming traffic and to pedestrians crossing the road being entered.

Question 29Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a white inverted triangle painted on the road surface, just before a junction, indicate to the driver?

  1. Give way to traffic on the intersecting road Correct answer.
  2. Stop completely before proceeding
  3. The lane is reserved for buses
  4. A speed hump is ahead

Explanation

An inverted triangle painted on the carriageway is the road marking that accompanies a give-way sign. It warns that you must yield to traffic on the road you are joining or crossing.

Question 30Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving on a three-lane motorway. The right-hand lane is clear, you are in the middle lane, and you are not overtaking anyone. What does Belgian traffic law require?

  1. Move back to the right-hand lane as soon as it is safe Correct answer.
  2. Move to the left-hand lane to leave space for joining traffic
  3. Stay in the middle lane unless a sign indicates otherwise
  4. Stay in the middle lane because it is the most comfortable cruising lane

Explanation

On motorways and roads with multiple lanes in the same direction, drivers must keep as far to the right as the traffic situation allows. Once the right lane is clear and it is safe, you must return to it.

Question 31Traffic regulations and road signs

A triangular warning sign shows a black symbol of a car with wavy skid marks behind it. What hazard does it warn of?

  1. An area where overtaking is prohibited
  2. A slippery road surface ahead Correct answer.
  3. A steep downhill section ahead
  4. A car park entrance ahead

Explanation

The skidding-car symbol on a triangular warning sign indicates a slippery road surface. Drivers should reduce speed and avoid sudden braking or steering inputs.

Question 32Traffic regulations and road signs

You want to park on a street where the kerb is painted with alternating yellow and black markings. What do these markings mean?

  1. Parking is allowed only for loading and unloading
  2. Parking and stopping are prohibited along that stretch Correct answer.
  3. Parking is allowed for a maximum of 30 minutes
  4. The space is reserved for taxis

Explanation

Yellow and black kerb markings indicate a stopping and parking prohibition. The marking applies along the length of kerb that is painted.

Question 33Traffic regulations and road signs

You are approaching a roundabout where a blue sign shows white arrows arranged in a circle. You intend to take the third exit. What is the correct procedure in Belgium?

  1. Take the inner lane and exit directly from it without signalling
  2. Yield to traffic already on the roundabout, then signal right only after passing the exit before yours Correct answer.
  3. Signal left on approach and keep signalling left until you leave
  4. Stop completely at the entry line even if the roundabout is empty

Explanation

At a roundabout you give way to traffic already circulating, enter when clear, and signal right only after you have passed the exit preceding the one you will take. Signalling right earlier would mislead other drivers.

Question 34Traffic regulations and road signs

What does a rectangular sign with a blue background showing a white 'P' together with a small white parking disc symbol mean?

  1. Parking is prohibited at all times
  2. Parking is reserved for permit holders only
  3. Parking is free and unlimited for all vehicles
  4. Parking is permitted only if you display a parking disc showing your arrival time Correct answer.

Explanation

The blue 'P' indicates a parking area, and the disc symbol means the blue-disc (parking disc) regulation applies. You must display a disc set to your time of arrival.

Question 35Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving behind a tram that has stopped at a stop without a raised platform, and passengers are getting on and off. What must you do?

  1. Sound your horn to warn passengers to hurry
  2. Overtake the tram slowly on the left while passengers are crossing
  3. Continue at normal speed because the tram is on rails
  4. Stop and wait until the passengers have boarded or alighted and the tram is ready to move Correct answer.

Explanation

Where passengers board or leave a tram directly from the roadway, you must stop to let them do so safely. You may only proceed once the boarding and alighting is finished.

Question 36Traffic regulations and road signs

A yellow diamond sign with a white border has a black diagonal bar across it. What does this combination mean?

  1. The priority road status ends at this point Correct answer.
  2. The road ahead is one-way
  3. The road is closed to motor vehicles
  4. You are now on a priority road

Explanation

The yellow diamond with white border marks a priority road. A black diagonal bar cancels that status, so the priority-road regime ends at that sign.

Question 37Traffic regulations and road signs

On a two-way road outside a built-up area, you are being overtaken by a car while a cyclist is riding towards you in the opposite direction. What should you do?

  1. Accelerate to shorten the time the overtaking car spends alongside you
  2. Brake sharply to force the overtaking car to drop back
  3. Maintain your speed and keep well to the right so the overtaking car has room to complete the manoeuvre Correct answer.
  4. Move towards the centre line to discourage the overtaking car

Explanation

When being overtaken, you should keep a steady course and stay as far right as is safe, giving the overtaking driver room to complete the pass. Sudden acceleration or braking makes the manoeuvre more dangerous.

Question 38Traffic regulations and road signs

You are driving at night on an unlit road outside a built-up area. A vehicle approaches from the opposite direction. What is the correct use of your headlights?

  1. Flash your main beam repeatedly to signal your presence
  2. Keep main beam on until the vehicle is level with you
  3. Switch from main beam to dipped beam in good time so you do not dazzle the oncoming driver Correct answer.
  4. Switch off your lights completely until the vehicle has passed

Explanation

Main beam must be dipped in good time when an oncoming vehicle approaches, to avoid dazzling its driver. Dipped beam still lights the road sufficiently for safe progress.

Question 39Traffic regulations and road signs

A road sign shows a red circle containing a black and red symbol of two cars side by side, one red. What does this sign prohibit?

  1. Driving faster than 50 km/h
  2. All motor vehicles from entering the road
  3. Overtaking, except of two-wheeled vehicles without a sidecar Correct answer.
  4. Driving in the left-hand lane at any time

Explanation

The round sign with a red and a black car prohibits overtaking of motor vehicles other than two-wheeled vehicles without a sidecar. It applies until the next junction or until a sign cancels it.

Question 40Traffic regulations and road signs

You are about to drive through a narrow street where a sign shows a red circle with a black and red arrow pair, the black arrow pointing up and the red arrow pointing down. What does it mean?

  1. Priority over oncoming traffic, which must give way to you Correct answer.
  2. You must give way to oncoming traffic
  3. Overtaking is prohibited in this street
  4. The road is one-way in your direction

Explanation

This sign gives you priority in a narrow section where two-way traffic cannot easily pass. Oncoming drivers must yield and wait until you have cleared the constriction.

Question 41Traffic rules and priority

In Belgium, what does a steady red traffic light require you to do when there is no police officer directing traffic?

  1. Slow down and proceed if the intersection is clear
  2. Stop before the stop line or the light, and wait until it turns green Correct answer.
  3. Stop only if pedestrians are crossing
  4. Sound the horn and continue cautiously

Explanation

A steady red light is an absolute instruction to stop at the stop line, or at the light itself if there is no line. You may only continue once the light shows green or when a police officer directs otherwise. Filtering or creeping forward on red is not permitted.

Question 42Traffic rules and priority

A traffic light shows a steady amber (yellow) signal as you approach. What is the correct action?

  1. Stop, unless stopping would be unsafe because you are too close Correct answer.
  2. Continue at the same speed without checking mirrors
  3. Stop immediately wherever you are on the road
  4. Accelerate to pass before it turns red

Explanation

A steady amber means stop, because red will follow. The exception is when you are so close that stopping abruptly would cause a collision risk, for example from a following vehicle. In that case you may clear the junction carefully.

Question 43Traffic rules and priority

For a motorcyclist, what is the general rule at a junction where the road is marked with a 'give way' line and no traffic lights are working?

  1. You have priority because you are on the main road
  2. You must stop completely before every give way line
  3. You must give way to traffic on the intersecting road Correct answer.
  4. You only give way to vehicles coming from the right

Explanation

At a give way line you must yield to traffic already on or approaching the intersecting road. Priority is not automatic for the larger or faster road unless signs or markings say so. A full stop is only compulsory where a stop line or stop sign applies.

Question 44Traffic rules and priority

You approach an intersection with no signs, markings, or lights. Under the Belgian priority rule of the right, what should you do?

  1. Give way to vehicles approaching from your left
  2. Give way to vehicles approaching from your right Correct answer.
  3. Proceed first because you are travelling straight ahead
  4. Assume the wider road has priority

Explanation

Where no signs or markings establish priority, the default rule is priority to the right. You must yield to vehicles coming from your right. This applies even if you are travelling straight and the other vehicle is turning.

Question 45Traffic rules and priority

A police officer stands in the middle of the junction with one arm raised vertically and is facing you. What does this signal mean?

  1. The signal applies only to pedestrians
  2. Only traffic coming from your left must stop
  3. All traffic facing the officer must stop Correct answer.
  4. Traffic may proceed slowly around the officer

Explanation

An officer facing you with an arm raised means stop for the traffic in front of the officer. Officer signals override traffic lights and road signs. You must wait until the officer lowers the arm or signals you to proceed.

Question 46Traffic rules and priority

You are riding on a roundabout and intend to take the third exit. Which lane position and signal should you use in a country that drives on the right?

  1. Use the left lane and signal right just before your exit Correct answer.
  2. Keep to the left lane and signal right on approach
  3. Keep to the right lane and signal left on approach
  4. Stay in the outer lane throughout without signalling

Explanation

On a multi-lane roundabout, taking a later exit usually means using the inner (left) lane and signalling right as you approach your exit. You then move to the outer lane to leave. Signalling right before the exit warns other road users of your intention.

Question 47Traffic rules and priority

When entering a roundabout, who generally has priority in countries that drive on the right?

  1. Traffic already circulating on the roundabout Correct answer.
  2. The vehicle approaching from the left
  3. Whoever arrives first
  4. Traffic entering the roundabout

Explanation

In right-hand traffic countries, vehicles entering a roundabout must yield to traffic already circulating. Signs and markings at the entry usually confirm this. Do not enter if it would force a circulating vehicle to brake.

Question 48Traffic rules and priority

A pedestrian is waiting at a marked zebra crossing as you approach on your motorcycle. What must you do?

  1. Continue if you are below the speed limit
  2. Flash your headlight so the pedestrian waits
  3. Pass behind the pedestrian without stopping
  4. Stop and give way to the pedestrian Correct answer.

Explanation

At a marked zebra crossing you must give way to pedestrians who are on the crossing or clearly about to use it. You should slow down and stop if necessary. Flashing lights or passing behind does not remove the obligation.

Question 49Traffic rules and priority

A school crossing patrol raises a stop sign as you approach. What is required?

  1. Stop only if you are travelling in the lane nearest the patrol
  2. Slow down and pass if no children are visible
  3. Continue but sound your horn
  4. Stop until the sign is lowered Correct answer.

Explanation

A school crossing patrol's stop sign has the force of a stop signal. You must stop and remain stopped until the patrol lowers the sign. This applies to all traffic in that direction.

Question 50Traffic rules and priority

You want to turn left at a junction and a pedestrian is crossing the road you are turning into. What is the correct action?

  1. Complete the turn in front of the pedestrian
  2. Wait and let the pedestrian finish crossing Correct answer.
  3. Turn behind the pedestrian without slowing
  4. Sound the horn to warn the pedestrian

Explanation

When turning, you must give way to pedestrians crossing the road you are entering. Turning across their path would force them to stop. Wait until they have cleared your path before completing the turn.
