What's the purpose of the yellow lines painted across the road?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Band 2 traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge - What's the purpose of the yellow lines painted across the road?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Band 2 traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge - You're driving on a motorway. What should you do if there's a red cross with flashing red lights on the gantry above your lane? The lane under a gantry signal showing a red cross with flashing red lights is closed to traffic. You shouldn't proceed past that point in that lane. Should other lanes be open, move to a different lane and proceed with care. If red signals are shown above all lanes, then all lanes are closed: you must stop and wait for the lights to change or until you're directed to move.

What should you do before turning left from a busy major road into a minor road?

When can you enter this hatched area?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Band 2 traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge - When can you enter this hatched area? This hatched area is bordered by broken lines; in normal driving, there shouldn't be a need to enter or cross the hatched area. When exceptional circumstances arise (for example, the need to pass a temporary obstruction or a slow-moving vehicle), you may drive on a hatched area when you're sure that it's safe to do so. Where hatched areas are bordered by a solid line, you mustn't enter the area except in an emergency.

You see white diagonal lines, bounded by broken lines, painted on the road. One of their uses is to protect traffic turning right. What other purpose do these markings have?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Band 2 traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge - You see white diagonal lines, bounded by broken lines, painted on the road.

What rule applies on a road that displays this sign?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Band 3 driving test, disabilities, law - What rule applies on a road that displays this sign? Clearways are in place so that traffic can flow without the obstruction of parked vehicles. Just one parked vehicle can cause an obstruction for all other traffic.

What plate would you normally find with this sign?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Band 2 traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge - What plate would you normally find with this sign? The sign means 'Give way to oncoming vehicles', and it will be used where the road narrows; for example, where traffic-calming build-outs reduce the road width. It should not be confused with the blue rectangular sign that gives priority in the other direction.

What should you do if you have to stop your vehicle in an emergency?

When may you wait in a box junction?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Band 2 traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge - When may you wait in a box junction?

You may only wait in the marked area when you're turning right and your exit lane is clear but you can't complete the turn because of oncoming traffic.
