Welcome once again to Driving TV! This video is dedicated to all those who are learning to drive and preparing for their driver’s examination. If you’re a beginner driver, this channel is here to help you get comfortable with driving and learn everything you need to pass your driver’s license test.
Today, we’ll address some common doubts regarding traffic lights, lane lines, and traffic signs. Stick around until the end to understand the types of lights and lane markings on the road, what they signify, and how to proceed correctly.
Lane Lines
As a new driver, understanding the different types of lane lines on the road is crucial. Let’s break it down:
- White Lane Lines:
- Continuous: All vehicles must drive in the same direction. Changing lanes is not permitted.
- Broken (discontinuous): Vehicles can change lanes, but must do so carefully.
- Solid White Line: Indicates that changing lanes is not allowed, except in emergencies.
- Yellow Lane Lines:
- Continuous: Vehicles move in different directions. Stay in your lane.
- Broken: You can pass other vehicles, but do so carefully and only when it’s safe.
Traffic Lights
Knowing how to proceed based on traffic lights is essential:
- Green Light: Proceed if the intersection is clear. You can turn right or go straight.
- Left Turn on Green: Wait for a gap in oncoming traffic to turn left safely.
- Yellow Light: Prepare to stop. If you’re already in the intersection, proceed cautiously.
- Red Light: Come to a full stop behind the white line. You can turn right after stopping, unless a sign prohibits it.
- Green Arrow: You can turn in the direction of the arrow after yielding to any vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists still in the intersection.
- Red Arrow: Stop and wait. Do not proceed until the light turns green.
Tips for New Drivers
Here are some additional tips for new drivers:
- Always obey the speed limit.
- Never speed up to beat a yellow light; instead, slow down and stop if it’s safe.
- Approach intersections cautiously, even with a green light.
- Be patient and observant of other drivers.
