DVSA Rules of the Road 4

Question 1

What does an urban clearway sign indicate?

Accepted Answer

No parking during working hours — stopping to pick up or set down passengers is allowed

Answer

An urban clearway prohibits waiting during the times shown, but unlike a clearway, you may stop briefly to pick up or set down passengers. This keeps main roads clear of parked vehicles during busy periods.

Question 2

What should you do when approaching a pelican crossing where the amber light is flashing?

Accepted Answer

Give way to any pedestrians still on the crossing, then proceed if clear

Answer

A flashing amber light at a pelican crossing means you must give way to pedestrians who are still crossing. If the crossing is clear of pedestrians, you may proceed with caution.

Question 3

What is the speed limit for cars on a dual carriageway?

Accepted Answer

70 mph

Answer

The national speed limit for cars on a dual carriageway is 70 mph, the same as on a motorway. This applies unless a lower limit is indicated by signs.

Question 4

When can you cross a double white line in the centre of the road?

Accepted Answer

To pass a stationary obstruction, enter premises, or pass a road maintenance vehicle, horse, or pedal cycle travelling at 10 mph or less

Answer

You must not cross or straddle double white lines where the line nearest to you is continuous, except to pass a stationary obstruction, enter premises or a side road, or pass a slow-moving vehicle (under 10 mph).

Question 5

What should you do at a toucan crossing?

Accepted Answer

Stop for both pedestrians and cyclists — it is designed for both

Answer

A toucan crossing is designed for both pedestrians and cyclists to cross together. The name comes from 'two can cross.' Unlike pelican crossings, there is no flashing amber phase.
