Ireland Driving Test 6

Question 1

At roadworks, what does this sign mean?

Accepted Answer

Stop before or at the sign.

Answer

This red circular sign with a white horizontal bar is the international 'Stop' sign, often used temporarily at roadworks. It indicates a mandatory stop for all vehicles. Drivers must come to a complete halt before or at the sign and only proceed when it is safe, often when directed by a flagman.

Question 2

What do these signs together mean?

Accepted Answer

End of detour.

Answer

The combination of these signs indicates the end of a temporary diversion or detour. The blue sign with the arrow initially directed traffic, and the 'END' sign below it confirms that the alternative route has concluded. Drivers can now resume their original route or follow standard road signage.

Question 3

What does this sign mean?

Accepted Answer

Traffic must cross over to left-hand lane.

Answer

This blue directional sign indicates a mandatory lane change ahead. The arrow shows that traffic in the current lane must merge or cross over to the left-hand lane. This is typically used to guide traffic around an obstruction or a lane closure, ensuring a smooth transition.

Question 4

What does this sign mean?

Accepted Answer

Start of central reserve or obstruction.

Answer

This sign indicates the beginning of a central reserve or an obstruction that divides the road into two separate carriageways or lanes. The two white arrows diverging around the black rectangle clearly show that traffic must pass on either side of the upcoming barrier. Drivers should be aware of the road splitting ahead.

Question 5

What does this sign mean?

Accepted Answer

End of central reserve or obstruction.

Answer

This sign indicates the end of a central reserve or obstruction that previously divided the road. The two white arrows converging after the black rectangle show that the divided carriageways are merging back into a single road. Drivers should be prepared for traffic from both sides to join.
