RTT - Riding Theory Road Signs and Markings Questions and Answers — Questions and Answers
Question 1: While riding, you approach a circular sign with a red border, a white background, and a black motorcycle symbol. What does this sign mean?
- Motorcycle parking area ahead.
- Route to be used by motorcycles only.
- No entry for motorcycles. (Correct answer)
- Motorcycle repair shop nearby.
Correct answer: No entry for motorcycles.
Prohibitory signs in Singapore, which forbid certain actions, are typically circular with a red border. A sign with a symbol of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, indicates that entry for that specific vehicle is prohibited.
Question 2: You are approaching a junction and see a solid white line across your lane, accompanied by a triangular 'GIVE WAY' sign. What must you do?
- Stop completely before the line and wait for a green light.
- Slow down and proceed if the way is clear, but be prepared to stop. (Correct answer)
- Come to a complete stop before the line and give way to all traffic on the major road.
- Change lanes as stopping is not permitted.
Correct answer: Slow down and proceed if the way is clear, but be prepared to stop.
The 'GIVE WAY' sign, in conjunction with a give way line (a single broken or solid white line), requires a driver or rider to slow down and give precedence to traffic on the major road, stopping only if necessary to avoid a collision. A 'STOP' sign would require a mandatory complete stop.
Question 3: Which of the following road markings indicates that parking is prohibited at all times, but immediate picking up or dropping off of passengers is permitted?
- A single continuous yellow line along the side of the road.
- Double continuous yellow lines along the side of the road.
- A single white zig-zag line.
- A single yellow zig-zag line. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: A single yellow zig-zag line.
A single yellow zig-zag line specifically means 'No Parking' at all times, but vehicles may stop for the immediate purpose of picking up or dropping off passengers. Double yellow lines and single white zig-zag lines mean no stopping at any time.
Question 4: While riding on a multi-lane road, you see a blue circular sign with a white arrow pointing straight ahead. What does this sign command you to do?
- Prepare for a one-way street ahead.
- Proceed straight ahead only; turning left or right is not allowed. (Correct answer)
- You are approaching a traffic light that is currently green.
- This lane is reserved for heavy vehicles.
Correct answer: Proceed straight ahead only; turning left or right is not allowed.
Mandatory signs in Singapore are typically circular with a blue background and white symbols. An arrow pointing straight ahead indicates that you must proceed in that direction only.
Question 5: You are riding towards a traffic light, and you see a triangular sign with a red border depicting a series of bends. As a motorcyclist, what is the most important action to take?
- Increase speed to clear the bends quickly.
- Maintain your current speed and lane position.
- Signal your intention to turn.
- Slow down, keep left, and avoid overtaking. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Slow down, keep left, and avoid overtaking.
Warning signs are triangular with a red border and alert motorists to potential dangers ahead. A 'Series of Bends' sign indicates the need to reduce speed, keep to the left side of the road, and refrain from risky maneuvers like overtaking to safely navigate the upcoming curves.
Question 6: You are planning to ride through a newly constructed area. What color background do temporary work-zone signs in Singapore typically have?
- Blue
- Green
- Orange (Correct answer)
- Yellow
Correct answer: Orange
Temporary signs used for road works or work zones have an orange background to alert road users to temporary and potentially hazardous conditions. These signs provide guidance on lane changes, speed reductions, and detours.
