Public Roads Exam 4 اِگزیم

Stopping or parking in dangerous places or in places that seriously obstruct traffic shall be considered as stopping or parking on medians, dividers, traffic islands or other traffic channelling elements. Stopping or parking in these places is strictly forbidden.

Yes, and not start to do so until it is safe: Correct
A driver entering a route via a slip lane must prioritize safety. They are required to check for oncoming traffic and ensure that there is a clear and safe gap before merging onto the route. The driver does not have the right of way in this situation; it is their responsibility to yield to vehicles already on the main road. This rule ensures the smooth flow of traffic and minimizes the risk of accidents.
No, this driver has right of way: This is incorrect because a vehicle entering from a slip lane does not have the right of way. The vehicles on the main road have priority, and it is the responsibility of the merging driver to wait for a safe opportunity to join the traffic.
No, other drivers must facilitate that vehicle’s entry: This is also incorrect because drivers on the main road are not obligated to stop or change their speed to allow the merging vehicle to enter. The merging driver must wait until it is safe to proceed.

As a general rule, a lane enabled in the opposite direction can only be used by motorcycles and passenger cars, except when the lane is enabled due to construction work, in which case it can also be used by other vehicles.

Article 94 of traffic regulations states that it is completely prohibited to park your vehicle in lanes designed for exclusive use of urban public transport, or in those reserved for bicycles, even if it is outside of service hours.

Reduce speed, and if necessary, stop the vehicle: Correct
When approaching a vehicle stopped on the road outside town, it is important to reduce speed in order to be prepared for any sudden changes, such as pedestrians or other vehicles unexpectedly moving. Stopping may also be necessary if the vehicle is blocking the road or if the situation requires yielding to the stopped vehicle or pedestrians. This precaution helps ensure safety for both the driver and other road users.
Maintain speed and be alert to vertical signs: This is incorrect because maintaining speed without adjusting for a stopped vehicle is unsafe.
None, if there are no oncoming vehicles: This is incorrect because even if no oncoming vehicles are present, reducing speed is essential to safely navigate the situation.

The deceleration lanes that you find on fast roads like dual carriageways and motorways are used to exit the road and merge onto an accessory road by progressively reducing speed. To leave the road and enter the deceleration lane, first you should signal your intention to change lanes, and then pay attention to the signage in the new lane.

Whenever you intend to overtake on urban roads or within town limits, the driver of the overtaking vehicle is always required to leave a safe lateral separation proportional to their speed and the width and characteristics of the road.

Travel on the shoulder, and get off the motorway at the next exit: Correct
If your vehicle is damaged and unable to maintain the minimum speed required for safe motorway travel (typically much higher than 50 km/h), you must take immediate steps to avoid obstructing traffic flow. The shoulder is designated for emergencies, allowing you to move out of the flow of fast-moving traffic.
Always immobilize the vehicle on the shoulder: Immobilizing your vehicle unnecessarily could pose a safety hazard. Stopping should only be done if your vehicle is completely inoperable. Otherwise, you should use the shoulder to reach the next exit.
Travel in the right lane: The right lane is typically for overtaking or fast-moving vehicles. Traveling at a slow speed in this lane would increase the risk of collisions and obstruct traffic.

On sidewalks and walkways: Correct
Parking on sidewalks and walkways is prohibited in urban areas for several important reasons.
Pedestrian Safety: Sidewalks and walkways are meant for pedestrians to walk safely. Parking a vehicle on these paths obstructs pedestrian movement and can cause accidents or force people to walk in the road, increasing the risk of traffic-related incidents.
Legal Regulations: Most urban areas have laws that strictly prohibit parking on sidewalks and walkways to ensure the smooth flow of pedestrians and to maintain public safety.
On qualified roads with priority attention: This refers to specific roads that require special attention, such as emergency routes or roads where priority traffic flows. Parking on such roads may be restricted, but it is not as universally prohibited as parking on sidewalks, which is a more standard regulation across cities.
On curves and elevation changes: While parking on curves and areas with elevation changes can be dangerous due to reduced visibility and stability issues, it is not as universally banned as parking on sidewalks. These areas may have specific signage to indicate no parking, but the primary prohibition remains on sidewalks and walkways.

Traffic authorities can, for the purposes of traffic flow, change a lane to the opposite direction on roads that have at least two lanes for each direction of travel. This type of lane can only be used by motorcycles and passenger cars, unless the lane has been changed due to construction, in which case it may be used by other vehicles too. Therefore, if it has been opened due to road works, a truck with M.A.M less than 3500 kilograms can drive in it.

It shall be strictly forbidden for a vehicle to stop or park in a lane reserved for bicycles, even if no bicycles are circulating within it, because it would be an obstacle to the free circulation of such bicycles.

Make sure it can be done without jeopardizing other users on the public highway: Correct
When entering traffic flow, the primary responsibility of a driver is to ensure that the manoeuvre can be completed safely without putting other road users at risk. This includes checking for oncoming traffic, ensuring there is enough space, and merging smoothly without forcing other drivers to brake or swerve suddenly. Safety is the top priority, and the driver must take necessary precautions to prevent accidents or disruptions on the road.
Signal the manoeuvre because others have to grant the right of way: It is incorrect. While signaling is important to indicate intent, it does not automatically grant the driver the right of way. Other drivers are not obligated to yield unless specified by traffic rules or conditions, so the driver must still ensure the manoeuvre can be executed safely.
Always follow the instructions of another person: It is incorrect. Following another person’s instructions is not a standard requirement for entering traffic. The driver must use their own judgment and follow traffic laws to determine when it is safe to merge or join traffic flow.

When we find a longitudinal and continuous white line painted on the roadway of the road on which we are driving our vehicle, it will indicate that overtaking is totally prohibited until we find a section where this line is broken.
Therefore, if we intend to overtake, we must pay special attention to the continuous line.

When a lane is designated for traffic moving in the opposite direction to the usual flow, drivers traveling in the standard direction must adhere to the same regulations. If there is only one lane available in their direction, they must maintain a speed between a minimum of 60 kilometers per hour and a maximum of 80 kilometers per hour.

The next lane when traffic or road conditions make this advisable: Correct
Vehicles over 7 meters long, such as trucks or buses, are generally required to use the right-hand lane to facilitate smooth traffic flow. However, they may use the next lane (middle lane) when necessary, such as when overtaking, avoiding an obstacle, or adjusting to traffic conditions. This ensures flexibility while maintaining safety and order on the road.
Any lane: This is incorrect because vehicles of such length are usually restricted to certain lanes to avoid disrupting the flow of faster or lighter traffic. Allowing them to use any lane could lead to congestion and unsafe conditions.
None, they may drive in the right-hand lane only: This is incorrect because the exclusive use of the right-hand lane does not account for situations where lane changes are necessary due to traffic conditions or road hazards. The rules allow flexibility to ensure safety and efficient traffic flow.

On bus lane sections where the white longitudinal marking is a broken line, cars are allowed to use it to perform a manoeuvre other than stopping, parking, overtaking or changing the direction of travel, with preference always given to buses and cabs.
Therefore, in this case, we cannot use the bus lane to overtake other vehicles.

Yes, but only to the nearest point where it can be immobilized conveniently: Correct
It is generally allowed for a vehicle to be towed by another vehicle that is not designed for towing, but only in exceptional situations and when it is done safely. The vehicle being towed should be taken to the nearest point where it can be safely and conveniently immobilized, such as a parking area or a garage. This prevents further risks to road safety and reduces potential damage to both vehicles. The rule ensures that the towing process is as brief and safe as possible.
Yes, for not more than 10 km: This option is incorrect because the distance is not a fixed rule for towing vehicles not designed for that purpose. The correct approach is to tow the vehicle only to the nearest safe location, regardless of distance, as long as it is done safely.
No: This option is also incorrect because towing a vehicle in exceptional circumstances is allowed, provided it is done safely and only to the nearest suitable location for immobilization.

All vehicles with a maximum authorized mass less than 3,500 kg which are disrupting normal traffic flow by travelling at an abnormally reduced speed for this type of road due to an emergency or breakdown may travel on the hard shoulder of the motorway in the image. When this situation arises, the driver must leave the dual carriageway or motorway at the next exit so as not to interfere with the rest of the vehicles on the road.

Whenever you are driving on a toll road and you approach a tollbooth, you should enter through a lane with a green light above it, stop and take the ticket to enter the road, to later pay the toll when leaving the road.

Get out of the intersection without bothering other users: Correct
When the traffic light turns red and a car is blocking the intersection, it should move out of the intersection immediately. This helps avoid obstructing traffic and ensures that other road users can move freely. Stopping in the intersection when the light turns red can create congestion and may cause accidents.
Wait for the blinking yellow light to turn on: This is incorrect because the car should not wait for any signal. It must clear the intersection immediately to avoid obstruction.
Wait for the light to turn green: This is also incorrect because the car should not block the intersection while waiting for the green light. It should move out of the intersection if possible.

For responsible and efficient driving, it is advised to turn off the engine if you anticipate being stationary for more than 60 seconds to conserve fuel. Activating emergency lights is not required for such stops.

If you are driving behind a bus with a distinctive V-10 plate on its rear, it indicates that the vehicle is providing school transportation. In this case, you should slow down and stop if needed.

At an intersection where “STOP” is painted as a road marking, you must always stop before the transverse line. If no line is present, you should stop just before the intersection. In this image, you would stop before the horizontal line.

Drivers operating vehicles with a maximum authorized mass of up to 3,500 kilograms who experience an emergency, such as a mechanical failure, and are forced to drive at an unusually low speed, disrupting traffic flow, must use the motorway shoulder. They should exit the motorway at the earliest opportunity to avoid posing a risk to other road users.

Combination vehicles exceeding 7 meters in length traveling on a roadway with three or more lanes in each direction should generally use the far-right lane. They may also use the adjacent left lane when necessary due to traffic or road conditions.

When approaching an intersection marked with a stop sign and a transversal stop line, we will follow these steps:

1. Reduce Speed: We will begin slowing down in advance by applying the brakes smoothly to approach the intersection at a controlled pace. While doing so, we will check the inside rearview mirror.
2. Use Turn Signals: If turning left, we will activate the left turn signal to indicate our intention.
3. Stop at the Transversal Line: The vehicle must come to a complete stop before the transversal stop line. Neither the vehicle nor any cargo should extend beyond this line.
4. Engage First Gear: To proceed, we will shift into first gear, preparing to move forward.
5. Check Both Directions: Before moving, we will look to both sides to ensure the road is clear.

It is strictly prohibited to stop beyond the transversal stop line. The vehicle must always come to a complete stop before reaching the stop line as per traffic regulations.

Making a U-turn or overtaking other vehicles is strictly prohibited on curves, slopes with limited visibility, and intersections—except in roundabouts or traffic circles. These maneuvers are only allowed when they can be performed without entering the lane designated for oncoming traffic and when there is sufficient visibility to do so safely.

When used as a barrier, traffic cones serve to prevent vehicles from crossing the imaginary line they form. This means that no vehicle is allowed to pass over the line of cones, even for a lane change.

When driving in a reversible lane, regardless of the type of vehicle, it is mandatory to keep the dipped beam or short-range lights on at all times, both during the day and at night.

On motorways and dual carriageways, drivers must stay in the rightmost lane unless traffic conditions or road circumstances require using another lane, as long as it does not obstruct vehicles behind.

The left lane should only be used for overtaking, after which the driver must return to the right lane.

Therefore, in this scenario, since the vehicle is not planning to overtake, it should remain in the right lane.
