Manitoba Class 5 Learner's Driving Test Intersections and Yielding 6 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Manitoba, what is an 'advance green' (left-turn advance) at an intersection?
- A longer green light for the main direction
- A green arrow that appears before the main green, giving left-turning vehicles a protected turn phase (Correct answer)
- A pedestrian head-start signal
- A green light only for buses
Correct answer: A green arrow that appears before the main green, giving left-turning vehicles a protected turn phase
An advance green (left-turn advance) gives left-turning vehicles a protected phase before the main green light. During this phase, oncoming traffic has a red light, allowing safe left turns.
Question 2: At a Manitoba intersection, what does a solid green left-turn arrow changing to a steady green light mean?
- Left turns are no longer allowed
- The protected turn phase has ended — you may still turn left but must yield to oncoming traffic (Correct answer)
- Only right turns are now allowed
- The intersection is about to close
Correct answer: The protected turn phase has ended — you may still turn left but must yield to oncoming traffic
When the green arrow changes to a steady green light, the protected phase is over. You may still turn left on the green light, but you must now yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before turning.
Question 3: What should you do if you accidentally enter the wrong lane at a roundabout in Manitoba?
- Stop and back up to the correct lane
- Continue around the roundabout and exit safely, then re-enter in the correct lane (Correct answer)
- Cut across lanes to reach your exit
- Stop and wait for traffic to clear
Correct answer: Continue around the roundabout and exit safely, then re-enter in the correct lane
Never stop, back up, or cut across lanes in a roundabout. If you are in the wrong lane, continue around the roundabout safely and exit, then re-enter if needed. Safety is more important than missing your exit.
Question 4: In Manitoba, what must a driver do when a pedestrian is crossing at a mid-block crosswalk (not at an intersection)?
- Honk to warn the pedestrian
- Stop and yield to the pedestrian until they have completely crossed your half of the road (Correct answer)
- Slow down but continue if the pedestrian is not in your lane
- Flash headlights and proceed
Correct answer: Stop and yield to the pedestrian until they have completely crossed your half of the road
At mid-block crosswalks, drivers must stop and yield to pedestrians. You should remain stopped until the pedestrian has crossed at least your half of the road. Passing another vehicle stopped at a crosswalk is illegal.
Question 5: When waiting to turn left at a busy Manitoba intersection, should you enter the intersection while waiting for a gap?
- No, wait behind the stop line
- Yes, one vehicle may wait in the intersection and complete the turn when the light turns yellow or red, provided it is safe (Correct answer)
- Only during the advance green phase
- Yes, up to three vehicles may wait in the intersection
Correct answer: Yes, one vehicle may wait in the intersection and complete the turn when the light turns yellow or red, provided it is safe
In Manitoba, one vehicle may pull into the intersection while waiting for a gap to turn left on a green light. If the light turns yellow or red before a gap appears, the waiting vehicle may complete the turn once oncoming traffic stops.
Question 6: In Manitoba, what is the right-of-way rule when a road with a stop sign meets a road without any sign?
- The road with the stop sign has priority
- The road without the sign has priority — the stop sign indicates you must yield to traffic on the other road (Correct answer)
- Both roads have equal priority
- Priority depends on road width
Correct answer: The road without the sign has priority — the stop sign indicates you must yield to traffic on the other road
The stop sign indicates that traffic on your road must stop and yield to traffic on the cross road. The road without a stop sign is the through road, and its traffic has the right-of-way.
