You are leaving a side road marked with a Give Way sign. A bus is travelling along the main road and a pedestrian is near the crossing. What is the safest action?

  1. Move out slowly so the bus driver can see you and make room.
  2. Sound the horn and continue because you are already at the junction.
  3. Slow or stop, give way to traffic with priority, and enter only when the way is clear. ✓

A Give Way sign requires you to slow down and be ready to stop for traffic or pedestrians with priority. Entering the main road before it is clear creates a conflict and sounding the horn does not give priority.

You are approaching a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing where the lights are flashing amber. There are no pedestrians on the crossing. What should you do?

  1. Sound your horn and proceed
  2. Proceed with caution ✓
  3. Stop and wait for a green light

Flashing amber at a pedestrian crossing means you may proceed if the crossing is clear; you must give way to any pedestrians on the crossing.

You approach a signal-controlled junction on a wet road and the light changes from green to amber. You can stop smoothly before the stop line. What should you do?

  1. Stop before the stop line if it is safe to do so. ✓
  2. Accelerate to clear the junction before the signal turns red.
  3. Continue at the same speed because amber only warns that red is coming.

An amber signal means stop unless you are so close to the stop line that stopping would be unsafe. Because you can stop smoothly on the wet road, the safest and lawful action is to stop before the line.

You are approaching a box junction marked with yellow criss-cross lines. Traffic ahead is moving slowly, and the traffic light at the far side is green. What should you do?

  1. Stop before the box unless you can clear it completely without stopping inside ✓
  2. Edge into the box to show your intention to proceed
  3. Enter the box because the light is green

In a box junction, you must not enter unless your exit is clear. Stopping inside blocks cross traffic and is an offence.

You are driving and see a sign showing a left-turn arrow in a red circle with a diagonal line. You were planning to turn left at the next junction. What must you do?

  1. Stop at the junction and wait for the sign to change
  2. Continue straight or turn right, but do not turn left ✓
  3. Turn left only if no pedestrians are crossing

The No Left Turn sign prohibits left turns; you must find an alternative route and not turn left at that junction.

You are waiting at a junction with a red light, but a green arrow pointing right is lit. You intend to turn right. What should you do?

  1. Proceed only if there are no oncoming vehicles
  2. Wait for the main green light before moving
  3. Proceed with caution in the direction of the arrow, as you have priority ✓

A green arrow (filter light) gives you priority in the direction indicated; you may go even if the main light is red, but still ensure the way is clear.

You are driving during school commute hours and see a 'School Ahead' sign. The pavement is crowded with children. What should you do?

  1. Maintain normal speed
  2. Speed up to clear the area quickly
  3. Reduce speed and be prepared to stop ✓

The 'School Ahead' warning sign alerts drivers to potential children crossing or near the road. You must slow down and be ready to stop if necessary.

You are driving on a road with a 'No Right Turn' sign at the next junction. However, a police officer is directing you to turn right. What must you do?

  1. Stop and wait
  2. Follow the officer's direction ✓
  3. Follow the sign

In Hong Kong, you must always obey a police officer's directions, even if they conflict with traffic signs or signals.
