What does a broken (dashed) white line painted along the centre of the road allow?
Answer: You may cross it to overtake when it is safe
A broken centre line may be crossed to overtake or turn when the road ahead is clear and it is safe to do so.
A yellow line painted along the left edge of the road normally marks what?
Answer: The edge of the roadway / yellow (emergency) lane
A solid yellow line marks the left edge of the roadway. The yellow lane is for emergencies and breakdowns, not for normal driving or overtaking.
When a traffic officer (point-duty officer) gives a hand signal that conflicts with the robot, which do you obey?
Answer: The traffic officer's signal
A signal given by an authorised traffic officer overrides traffic signals and road signs. You must obey the officer's directions.
What does a flashing red robot at an intersection require you to do?
Answer: Treat it as a stop sign and proceed when safe
A flashing red robot must be treated as a STOP sign. Stop completely, then proceed only when the intersection is clear and safe.
Painted arrows in a lane on the road surface tell you what?
Answer: The permitted direction of travel from that lane
Directional arrows painted in a lane show which way you may travel from that lane, for example straight only or left-turn only. You must follow the arrow.
What does a steady amber (yellow) robot mean?
Answer: Stop if you can do so safely; the signal is about to turn red
A steady amber means the red is coming. You must stop if you can do so safely. Only proceed if you are too close to stop safely.
A painted island or chevron area marked with diagonal lines on the road should be treated how?
Answer: As an area you should not drive over or stop in
Chevron/painted island areas separate traffic streams. You should not drive over or stop in them; keep to the proper lane.
A pedestrian crossing marked by broad white stripes across the road requires you to do what?
Answer: Give right of way to pedestrians on the crossing
At a marked pedestrian crossing you must yield to pedestrians who are on or about to step onto the crossing, and be ready to stop.
