Responsible Road Behaviour
- 1/30Approaching a yield sign at a mini-circle
Responsible road users give right of way to vehicles entering before them. Mini-circles work on a first-come-first-go basis. Always signal your turn and approach cautiously.
Entering a pedestrian priority area
These areas are designed for pedestrian movement. Drivers must not exceed 15 km/h and must stop if pedestrians wish to cross. Only essential or emergency vehicles are permitted.
You see the no entry sign ahead
Ignoring this sign leads to dangerous head-on encounters. Respect the signage as it ensures one-way flow. Always look for alternative legal entry.
Waiting at a 4-way stop
Responsible behaviour at multi-way stops avoids confusion. The first vehicle to stop has the right to move first. Never assume others will yield — always confirm visually.
Driving toward a STOP sign at a junction
It’s essential to stop fully at the line even if the road looks clear. Rolling stops are unsafe and illegal. Look both ways before proceeding.
Facing a yield to pedestrian sign
Pedestrians always have right of way in marked crossings. Responsible drivers watch for children, the elderly, or distracted walkers.
Your lane merges with oncoming traffic
Merging safely is key to avoiding collisions. If a single carriageway begins, let vehicles on it pass first. Never rush the merge point.
Spotting a no U-turn sign
Responsible road users follow turn restrictions. U-turns are risky in busy or narrow roads. Obey the sign and find a legal turnaround.
Approaching a scholar patrol zone
These areas protect children crossing roads near schools. Always stop fully if the patrol displays a stop sign, and wait until it’s lowered.
Turning left where a stop/yield board is posted
While left turns may not always need a full stop, yielding to cross-traffic is non-negotiable. Proceed only if no danger is present.
Encountering a flashing STOP/RY-GO sign
Often seen in construction zones, these manual signs dictate movement. Stop completely when shown STOP, and proceed cautiously on GO.
Meeting a no unauthorized vehicles sign
These areas are closed to general traffic for safety or regulation reasons. Entering without permission can lead to fines or danger.
Driving where only buses are permitted
If you’re not operating a bus, do not use lanes reserved for buses. It disrupts traffic flow and can endanger public transport passengers.
You notice a stop control ahead sign
This warning allows time to slow down before a hidden stop sign. Ignoring it may result in accidents due to reduced visibility.
Waiting to enter a traffic circle
Roundabouts are designed for clockwise flow. Responsibility means yielding to vehicles already navigating the circle.
Driving behind a learner driver
Learners may be nervous or unpredictable. Show patience and avoid pressuring them with close driving or unnecessary signals.
Approaching an area where cyclists are allowed only
Dedicated cycle paths are off-limits to other vehicles. This ensures safety for cyclists and encourages responsible use of road space.
Turning right at an intersection with a right-only sign
These signs are mandatory. Turning the wrong way is both illegal and highly unsafe. Always follow lane markings and signs.
Driving in a woonerf or living street
Speed must not exceed 30 km/h in these zones. Drivers should yield to people walking, playing, or crossing in the area.
Seeing a prohibited parking sign ahead
Even if it’s brief, parking in restricted areas can block visibility and endanger others. Seek designated parking zones instead.
Noticing a no overtaking sign on a hill
Uphill overtaking is hazardous due to blind spots. Responsible drivers stay in their lane until the sign permits passing.
Approaching a railway crossing with a yield sign
Even if no boom is present, you must yield or stop if a train or vehicle is approaching. Never take chances with rail crossings.
Reaching a road marked for minibuses only
These reserved sections ensure efficient public transit. Respecting the reservation avoids congestion and maintains fairness.
Cyclists and pedestrians lane appears ahead
Roads designated for non-motor traffic protect vulnerable road users. Only enter if your vehicle is legally allowed.
Trying to turn into a road with a no-turn sign
No-turn signs avoid risky maneuvers at complex or congested junctions. Ignoring them increases crash risk.
Hearing a siren from an emergency vehicle
Emergency vehicles require immediate right of way. Signal, slow down, and move aside carefully. Resume only when it is safe.
Spotting a vehicle parked near a sharp bend
Parking near bends limits sight distance for oncoming vehicles. Park only in well-marked areas to avoid obstruction.
A truck is trying to merge in front of you
Large vehicles need more room to turn or merge. Yielding shows courtesy and prevents forced dangerous maneuvers.
Seeing a child near the roadway
Children are unpredictable and may run onto the road. Reduce speed and watch surroundings closely in residential or school areas.
You’re distracted by phone while driving
Responsible behaviour requires full focus on driving. If urgent, stop safely first. Using phones while driving is a serious hazard.
