NZ Learner Licence Theory Test Intersections & Roundabouts 2

Question 1

In NZ, when exiting a roundabout, when should you signal?

Accepted Answer

Signal left as you pass the exit before the one you want to take

Answer

When exiting a roundabout in NZ, you should signal left as you pass the exit immediately before the one you intend to take. This alerts other drivers and pedestrians that you are about to leave the roundabout.

Question 2

A driver wants to go straight through a roundabout in NZ. Which lane should they use?

Accepted Answer

Either lane, but the left lane is preferred unless road markings indicate otherwise

Answer

For straight-through movements at a roundabout in NZ, either lane can be used, but the left lane is generally preferred if no road markings direct otherwise. You should not indicate right on entry unless you are going right.

Question 3

What must you do at an intersection where traffic lights are not working in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Treat it as an uncontrolled intersection and apply standard give way rules

Answer

When traffic lights are not functioning in NZ, the intersection must be treated as an uncontrolled intersection. Apply the standard give way rules: give way to traffic on your right at the same time, and to traffic on the through road at a T-intersection.

Question 4

You are turning left at an intersection. A pedestrian is crossing the road you are turning into from the left. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Give way to the pedestrian before completing your turn

Answer

When turning left at an intersection in NZ, you must give way to any pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into. Pedestrians crossing with the traffic flow have priority over turning vehicles.

Question 5

At a T-intersection in NZ, you are on the through road and a vehicle on the side road has a STOP sign. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

You on the through road have priority — the side road driver must stop and give way

Answer

At a T-intersection where the side road has a STOP sign, the driver on the side road must come to a complete stop and give way to all traffic on the through road. The through road driver has clear priority.
