Correct answer: Give way to traffic with priority

The inverted triangle is the give-way sign: yield before joining or crossing.

Correct answer: No entry for all vehicles

This is the 'no entry' sign; all vehicles are prohibited from entering.

Correct answer: The maximum speed allowed

A red-ringed number sign is the maximum speed limit; do not exceed it.

Correct answer: Triangle pointing up, white background, black symbols, red border

Warning signs are triangles with the point at the top, a white background, black symbols and a red border.

Correct answer: To alert you to a danger ahead so you can adapt your speed in time

Warning signs alert road users to existing or possible dangers. They are placed far enough ahead that you can react in time and adapt your speed.

Correct answer: A prohibition or restriction

Regulatory signs are circular. White with a red border indicates a ban or restriction, such as a speed limit or no entry.

Correct answer: Something is mandatory

Blue circular signs are mandatory signs: they tell you what you must do, such as a required direction.

Correct answer: True

True. The stop sign's eight-cornered shape makes it easy to identify from the front and the back.

Correct answer: Octagon or inverted triangle

Right-of-way signs have special shapes so they stand out: usually an octagon (stop) or an inverted triangle (give way).

Correct answer: Yellow with a red border

Temporary work zone signs are yellow with a red border. They warn of roadworks or diversions and have the same shapes as the permanent sign families.

Correct answer: Cities and villages

Blue guide signs with white letters are usually outside cities and point to cities and villages.

Correct answer: Streets and neighbourhoods within cities

Green guide signs are found within city limits and indicate streets and neighbourhoods.

Correct answer: Farms, leisure complexes, museums and religious places

Brown signs indicate farms, entertainment complexes, museums and religious places. White signs with black letters point to important facilities such as airports.

Correct answer: Important facilities such as airports or city centres

White guide signs with black letters lead to important facilities such as airports and city centres.

Correct answer: Blue circle: mandatory pedestrian path. Triangle: warning of a children's crossing

The blue circle is a mandatory sign marking a pavement or pedestrian path. The red-framed triangle is a warning sign for a children's crossing. The handbook says never to confuse them.

Correct answer: Slow down; you may need to stop for oncoming vehicles

At a narrow-road warning, slow down because it may be necessary to stop if vehicles are coming the other way.

Correct answer: Slow down and consider a lower gear to use engine braking

On a descent, slow down and perhaps use a lower gear to take advantage of engine braking. Never let the vehicle roll with the engine off.

Correct answer: True

True. Signs are mainly on the right and are reflective so they are visible by day and night. All road users must obey them.

Correct answer: Crossing it is prohibited

Solid or double solid lines must not be crossed. Broken lines may be crossed when safe.

Correct answers: Damaging or altering them · Moving them to another place · Putting posters or adverts on them

Destroying or altering traffic control devices, moving them, or placing posters or adverts on them is prohibited.
