Question 1: What does a solid yellow centre line on a two-way road mean?
- Overtaking is permitted for both directions of traffic
- No overtaking is permitted from either direction (Correct answer)
- Overtaking is permitted only at intersections
- The road is a one-way street
Correct answer: No overtaking is permitted from either direction
A solid yellow centre line is a no-overtaking barrier line. Drivers on both sides of the line are prohibited from crossing it to pass another vehicle.
Question 2: What does a red circle sign with a white horizontal bar in the centre indicate?
- Speed limit ahead
- No entry for all vehicles (Correct answer)
- Stop and give way
- Road narrows ahead
Correct answer: No entry for all vehicles
A red circle with a white horizontal bar is the universal 'No Entry' sign, meaning vehicles must not enter the road or lane in that direction.
Question 3: A blue rectangular sign with a white arrow pointing upward indicates:
- A mandatory direction — you must go straight ahead (Correct answer)
- Advisory route guidance only
- Lane reserved for buses
- End of a one-way street
Correct answer: A mandatory direction — you must go straight ahead
Blue rectangular signs with white arrows give mandatory instructions. An upward-pointing arrow means drivers in that lane must continue straight ahead.
Question 4: What does a yellow diamond-shaped sign with a black border mean?
- You are on a priority road and have right of way (Correct answer)
- Give way to oncoming traffic
- Road works ahead
- School zone
Correct answer: You are on a priority road and have right of way
A yellow diamond sign indicates that you are travelling on a priority road, meaning vehicles on intersecting roads must yield to you.
Question 5: Double yellow lines painted along the kerb of a road indicate:
- Parking is restricted at certain times — check the signs
- No stopping or parking at any time (Correct answer)
- Loading and unloading only is permitted
- Short-term parking is allowed
Correct answer: No stopping or parking at any time
Double yellow kerb lines mean no stopping or parking is permitted at any time, making them a stricter restriction than single yellow lines.
Question 6: A white inverted triangle (point downward) painted on the road surface means:
- Pedestrian crossing ahead
- You must give way to traffic on the road you are entering (Correct answer)
- Speed bump ahead
- Junction merging point
Correct answer: You must give way to traffic on the road you are entering
A white inverted triangle on the pavement is the give-way road marking, reinforcing the requirement for the driver to yield to traffic already on the major road ahead.
