Right of Way Rules Flashcards

When can a vehicle legally cross a double white continuous centre line?

Answer: To access a property or side road on the other side

You may cross double white continuous lines to access a property or side road, or to pass a stationary obstruction, but never to overtake a moving vehicle.

At a mini-roundabout, which vehicle has right of way?

Answer: Traffic from the right already in the roundabout

At a mini-roundabout, the same rules apply as at a full roundabout — give way to traffic from your right already on the roundabout.

An oncoming vehicle has its headlights on full beam at night. What should you do?

Answer: Slow down and look to the left edge of the road

Slow down and avoid looking directly at the oncoming lights. Focus on the left edge of the road to maintain your line of travel.

A silver 'Give Way' triangle is painted on the road surface. What does this mean?

Answer: Give way to traffic on the road you are entering

An inverted triangle marking on the road reinforces the Give Way sign and means you must give way to traffic on the road you are joining.

When should you use your horn to assert right of way?

Answer: Never — the horn should not be used to assert right of way

The horn should only be used to alert other road users of your presence for safety. It must never be used aggressively to assert right of way.

At a crossroad with no signs or lights, a vehicle on your right arrives at the same time as you. Who proceeds first?

Answer: The vehicle on your right

At an uncontrolled crossroad, give way to the vehicle on your right. This is the default right-of-way rule in Singapore.
