Ask a short question. You get the answer, and a link to the sign or the practice that goes with it.

Answers

• What is the difference between parking and stopping?

  Parking is leaving your car. Stopping is a short halt to let someone in or out, or to load. A bar and a cross do not mean the same thing.

• Do I have to stop, or only give way?

  At an upside-down triangle you give way and drive on if the road is clear. At STOP you always come to a full stop first.

• How many questions does the car theory test have?

  The standard car theory test has 50 questions that count and 2 trial questions. You pass with 44 or more correct, in 30 minutes.

• What is the best way to practise traffic signs?

  Short and often. Do the quiz, look up only the signs you missed, and repeat those. Cramming everything in one evening does not work.

• What do the shape and colour of a traffic sign mean?

  A triangle warns, a round sign gives a rule, and a rectangle informs. Red bans, blue orders.

• How do I see that a ban has ended?

  A grey or black bar through the sign means that rule ends there. It is not the same sign again.
