ADI Traffic Signs & Signals 2

Question 1

What should a driver do when approaching a double white line where the line nearest to them is unbroken?

Accepted Answer

Not cross or straddle the line except in specific limited circumstances

Answer

A solid white line nearest the driver means do not cross or straddle the centre line; exceptions include passing a stationary obstruction, cyclist, horse or road maintenance vehicle where safe.

Question 2

A flashing amber light at a pelican crossing means:

Accepted Answer

Give way to pedestrians still on the crossing before proceeding

Answer

The flashing amber phase at a pelican crossing follows red; drivers may proceed only when the crossing is clear of pedestrians, giving way to any still on the crossing.

Question 3

Which signal indicates 'stop' when given by a police officer controlling traffic?

Accepted Answer

Officer faces you with arm raised and palm towards you

Answer

A police officer facing you with their right arm raised, palm outward, signals that you must stop; this is the legally enforceable 'stop' signal under the Road Traffic Act 1988.

Question 4

What does a yellow box junction marking prohibit?

Accepted Answer

Entering the box unless your exit is clear, except when turning right

Answer

The yellow box junction rules (s.36 RTA 1988 and Road Markings Regulations) prohibit entering the box unless the exit is clear; an exception allows waiting inside when turning right and blocked by oncoming traffic.

Question 5

A 'red route' stopping restriction (red lines) in London means:

Accepted Answer

No stopping at any time during the hours indicated — even briefly

Answer

Red routes prohibit stopping (not just parking) during the hours indicated by signs; double red lines mean no stopping at any time, more restrictive than yellow line restrictions.
