DVSA Rules of the Road 2

Question 1

What does a single yellow line at the edge of a road mean?

Accepted Answer

No waiting during the times shown on the nearby sign or plate

Answer

A single yellow line means no waiting during the times shown on a nearby plate or sign. Outside those times, you may park there unless other restrictions apply.

Question 2

What traffic calming measures might you encounter in a residential area?

Accepted Answer

Speed humps, chicanes, and road narrowings

Answer

Traffic calming measures include speed humps (bumps and cushions), chicanes (staggered build-outs), road narrowings, raised junctions, and rumble strips. They are designed to slow traffic in residential areas.

Question 3

What is a contraflow bus lane?

Accepted Answer

A bus lane that runs in the opposite direction to the traffic on that side of the road

Answer

A contraflow bus lane allows buses to travel in the opposite direction to the main flow of traffic on that side of the road. Watch carefully for buses coming towards you when turning into or crossing such roads.

Question 4

In a one-way street, where should you normally position your vehicle to turn right?

Accepted Answer

In the right-hand lane

Answer

In a one-way street, move into the right-hand lane well before your turn. Unlike two-way roads where you stay near the centre line, one-way streets allow you to use the full carriageway width.

Question 5

What do zigzag white lines at a pedestrian crossing mean?

Accepted Answer

You must not park or overtake the leading vehicle on these lines

Answer

Zigzag lines at pedestrian crossings mean you must not park or stop on them, and you must not overtake the lead vehicle approaching the crossing. This ensures clear visibility for both drivers and pedestrians.
