Lane Discipline Flashcards

What colour are the lane markings that indicate a bus lane in Singapore?

Answer: Red

Bus lane markings in Singapore are typically red, making them visually distinct from regular white lane markings.

On a four-lane road, you are in lane 2 (second from left). A vehicle in lane 4 wants to merge to lane 2. What should you be aware of?

Answer: They will cross lane 3 first — watch for their signals

A vehicle crossing multiple lanes creates risk. Watch for their signals, be prepared for their movement, and adjust your driving accordingly.

You realise you are in the wrong lane for your intended turn. What is the safest action?

Answer: Continue in your current lane and find an alternative route

If you are in the wrong lane, continue in your current direction and find a safe way to return to your intended route. Never make dangerous last-minute lane changes.

What does it mean when lane arrows on the road show both straight and right-turn options in the same lane?

Answer: Vehicles in this lane may either go straight or turn right

Combined directional arrows mean you may go in either of the indicated directions from that lane.

On a slip road entering an expressway, you cannot find a gap to merge. What should you do?

Answer: Adjust your speed on the slip road to find a gap — stopping should be the last resort

Adjust your speed to find a suitable gap. If absolutely necessary, you may need to slow at the end of the slip road, but never stop abruptly on the carriageway.

During operating hours, what penalty can you face for driving in a bus lane?

Answer: Fine of $130 to $160

Driving in a bus lane during operating hours attracts a fine. Camera enforcement is used on many bus lanes in Singapore.
