Question 2: Double unbroken dividing lines are used to mark a segment of road. When is it permissible for a vehicle to cross these lines?
- To overtake a slow vehicle ahead.
- When there is no traffic coming the other way.
- To enter or leave a street or driveway. (Correct answer)

Question 3: Is it legal to make a U-turn at a traffic light?
- Yes, at all times.

Question 4: As you approach a crossroads, the traffic lights shift from green to yellow (amber). You must do the following:
- Accelerate to clear the intersection before the lights change to red.
- Stop before the lights, unless you are so close that sudden braking might cause an accident. (Correct answer)
- Drive through the intersection without accelerating.

Explanation: <br> Unless doing so would result in an accident, you must stop at a yellow amber light.
Question 5: Which lane should you take if you're driving on a multi-lane road with a speed limit of greater than 80 km/h?
- Either left or right lane.
- The left lane unless overtaking. (Correct answer)
- The right lane to avoid slow moving vehicles.
Correct answer: The left lane unless overtaking.
Explanation: <br> Unless you're overtaking or preparing to turn right, you should always utilize the left lane.
Question 6: As you approach an intersection with a red light and a sign, you notice a red light. You want to take a left. You must do the following:
- Stop and wait for a green light.
- Slow down and turn left or right if it is safe.

Question 7: You're getting close to the start of a T2 transit lane. You are the only one in the vehicle. Turn left at the next intersection, which is 200 meters away. Is it possible for you to travel in the transit lane at this time?
- Yes, if there is no traffic behind you.
- No, because you can only travel in the transit lane if the intersection you are turning left at is within 100 meters (Correct answer)
- Yes, because you only have a short distance to drive.
Correct answer: No, because you can only travel in the transit lane if the intersection you are turning left at is within 100 meters
Explanation: <br> You can travel in a transit lane (T2 or T3) with fewer passengers than required for 100 meters before turning into an intersection or driveway.
Question 8: What does it imply when a red light appears at a traffic signal?
- Stop, wait behind the stop line until the lights change to yellow.
- Stop, make sure there is no traffic, then drive straight ahead.
- Stop, wait behind the stop line until the lights change to green. (Correct answer)

Question 10: IF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHT DOESN'T WORK, YOU SHOULD
- Only stop if other vehicles are present.
- Slow down and, if necessary, stop
- As usual, proceed through the intersection.
- When it's safe to do so, stop first before continuing to drive. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: When it's safe to do so, stop first before continuing to drive.
Explanation: <br> When a traffic signal is out, drive slowly as if there are "STOP" signs in every direction controlling the intersection.
Question 11: YOU ARE CURRENTLY POSITIONED AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL. EVEN THOUGH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN, OTHER VEHICLES ARE STILL IN THE INTERSECTION. YOU SHOULD:
- Move forward only if passing the other vehicles is safe.
- Wait for the traffic to clear before entering the intersection.
- Wait until the vehicles clear the intersection before entering. (Correct answer)
- To alert other motorists of your presence, honk your horn before proceeding through the intersection.
Correct answer: Wait until the vehicles clear the intersection before entering.
Explanation: <br> Any car, bicycle, or pedestrian currently in the intersection should be given the right of way. The vehicles that entered the intersection before the light turned green have the right-of-way over you, even though the green signal undoubtedly signifies go.
Question 12: THESE ARE THE HIGHWAY AND EXPRESSWAY GUIDE SIGNS:
- Orange with black letters
- Yellow with black letters
- Red with white letters
- Green with white letters (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Green with white letters
Explanation: <br> Highway and expressway guidance signs have white text on green backgrounds. The majority of expressway and highway signs are placed similarly. For instance, a typical pattern is for one advance indication to be followed by another. The exit then displays the third sign. Highways with high speeds and dense traffic can make it difficult for drivers to see a single sign, hence multiple signs are required.
Question 13: AT AN INTERSECTION, A RED AND WHITE TRIANGULAR SIGN MEANS:
- If you see an emergency vehicle coming, slow down.
- Slow down and be ready to stop if necessary. (Correct answer)
- As you cross the crossing, keep both routes clear.
- Always stop completely at the intersection.
Correct answer: Slow down and be ready to stop if necessary.
Explanation: <br> YIELD. Give vehicles that are crossing your path the right-of-way by moving slowly. If it's safe to proceed, you can do so slowly and without pausing. Where auxiliary roads merge onto major roadways, yield signs are typically put.
Question 14: WHAT DOES THIS SIGN MEAN?
- Do not enter (Correct answer)
- Stop
- No U-Turn
- Yield
Correct answer: Do not enter
Explanation: <br> DO NOT ENTER. The sign forbids automobiles from joining a one-way roadway where traffic is traveling in the opposite direction and is typically posted at the beginning of one-way streets and ramps. Typically, a "WRONG WAY" sign is put alongside a "DO NOT ENTER" traffic sign.
Question 15: A sign in this shape with orange and red letters always means:
- Slow -moving vehicle (Correct answer)
- Yield to cross-traffic
- The vehicle has the right-of-way
- Emergency vehicle ahead
Correct answer: Slow -moving vehicle
Explanation: <br> Some vehicles are not built to maintain the speed of moving traffic. Road maintenance vehicles, farm tractors, and animal-drawn carts typically go at 25 mph or less. Vehicles driving slowly have an orange/red triangle on the back.
Question 16: IF YOU SEE THIS SIGN ABOVE YOUR LANE, YOU SHOULD:
- In this lane, you may not exit the freeway.
- This lane may be used to continue through the interchange or to exit the freeway.
- If you stay in this lane, you must exit the freeway. (Correct answer)
- May proceed through the interchange by staying in this lane.
Correct answer: If you stay in this lane, you must exit the freeway.
Explanation: <br> The lane below a highway sign that has a yellow panel with the words "EXIT ONLY" on it will not proceed through the interchange. The lane will diverge from the road to create a ramp instead. Change lanes if you do not want to quit the lane marked "EXIT ONLY," otherwise you will be obliged to do so.
Question 17: WHAT COLORS DO SIGNS THAT INDICATE HOW FAR AWAY THE NEXT HIGHWAY EXIT IS HAVE?
- Yellow with black letters.
- Black with white letters.
- Green with white letters. (Correct answer)
- Red with white letters.
Correct answer: Green with white letters.
Explanation: <br> Guide signs, often called destination signs, have white text on green backgrounds. Along the route, guide signs identify sites of interest, alert you about intersecting roads, and assist in guiding you to cities and villages.
Question 18: WHAT DOES THIS SIGN MEAN?
- Keep moving at your current speed
- There is a traffic sign up ahead. (Correct answer)
- You must stop ahead.
- Speeding is prohibited.
Correct answer: There is a traffic sign up ahead.
Explanation: <br> THERE IS TRAFFIC AHEAD. There are traffic lights at the upcoming intersection. Do not rush; the signal might not be apparent right away.
Question 19: AS YOU NEAR AN INTERSECTION, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGES FROM GREEN TO YELLOW. YOUR BEST ACTION WOULD BE TO
- Before the intersection, be ready to stop. (Correct answer)
- Accelerate to beat the red light
- Sharply apply the brakes to stop.
- Prepare to come to a complete stop in the intersection's center.
Correct answer: Before the intersection, be ready to stop.
Explanation: <br> A yellow traffic signal indicates "CAUTION." The red signal will soon be seen. If it's safe to do so, stop when you see the yellow signal. If stopping is unsafe, proceed with caution when crossing the intersection.
Question 20: RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND A GREEN ARROW BOTH APPEARING AT THE SAME TIME MEANS:
- All moving vehicles must stop in the direction indicated by the arrow.
- Wait for the traffic light to turn green before moving in the direction of the arrow.
- Road is closed up ahead; follow the arrow.
- You should proceed cautiously in the arrow's direction. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: You should proceed cautiously in the arrow's direction.
Explanation: <br> A green arrow that is pointing right or left indicates that you are permitted to turn in that direction. You must be in the correct lane for such a turn if the red light is also on, and you must give way to any cars or pedestrians clearing the intersection.
