1What must a driver do at an octagonal STOP sign?
A.Stop completely, observe, and proceed only when it is safe
B.Slow to walking pace and continue if the road looks empty
C.Stop only when another vehicle is approaching
D.Yield only to traffic arriving from the right
Explanation: A STOP sign requires a complete stop at the applicable line or position, followed by effective observation. It imposes a stronger instruction than simply slowing or applying an uncontrolled-junction priority rule.
2At an Algerian junction, what action does the inverted triangular GIVE WAY sign require?
A.Always stop for a fixed period before entering
B.Yield to conflicting traffic and stop if necessary
C.Proceed first when turning right
D.Yield only to larger vehicles
Explanation: GIVE WAY requires the driver to let priority traffic pass and to stop when needed to do so safely. Unlike STOP, it does not require a complete stop when the way is demonstrably clear.
3A continuous centre line separates opposing traffic. What is its main instruction?
A.Cross it whenever the vehicle ahead is slow
B.Use it as the preferred position for turning
C.Do not cross or straddle it except where a lawful exception applies
D.Treat it as advisory only when the road is dry
Explanation: A continuous longitudinal marking restricts crossing because sight distance or conflict risk may make the manoeuvre unsafe. Road condition does not turn a mandatory marking into advice.
4A traffic light turns amber while a car is still far enough from the line to stop normally. What should the driver do?
A.Accelerate because amber grants temporary priority
B.Continue at the same speed because only red has meaning
C.Stop after entering the intersection so following traffic can pass
D.Stop before the line without harsh braking
Explanation: Amber warns that the signal is changing and the driver should stop when this can be done safely. Accelerating toward the junction creates avoidable conflict and may lead to entering on red.
5At roadworks, a temporary sign conflicts with an older permanent sign that has been covered poorly. How should a driver respond?
A.Follow the clearly applicable temporary control and proceed cautiously
B.Follow whichever sign permits the higher speed
C.Ignore both signs until a worker gives a hand signal
D.Follow the permanent sign because temporary controls cannot change traffic movement
Explanation: Temporary traffic controls are installed to manage the changed road layout or hazard. The driver should identify the control that clearly applies to the current works and remain alert for workers, narrowed lanes, and further instructions.
6At an uncontrolled intersection where no sign, signal, or officer assigns priority, which vehicle should a driver normally yield to?
A.A vehicle approaching from the left
B.A vehicle approaching from the right
C.The fastest approaching vehicle
D.The largest approaching vehicle
Explanation: The default priority-to-the-right rule applies when no specific control establishes another order. Every driver must still approach at a speed that permits observation and avoids a collision.
7A driver intends to turn left across oncoming traffic. What is the safe priority decision?
A.Turn first because the indicator has been activated
B.Enter the oncoming lane early to reserve the turn
C.Yield to oncoming road users whose path would be crossed
D.Yield only to oncoming cars, not motorcycles or bicycles
Explanation: A left turn crosses the path of oncoming road users, so the driver must wait for a safe gap unless a signal or officer directs otherwise. An indicator communicates intention but never creates priority.
8At a roundabout, how should a driver determine who has priority?
A.Assume entering traffic always has priority
B.Assume circulating traffic always has priority even if signs say otherwise
C.Follow the vehicle ahead without checking the entrance control
D.Read the signs, markings, and signals controlling that entrance
Explanation: The control at the particular entrance determines the priority arrangement. A memorized assumption cannot override a STOP, GIVE WAY, signal, or lane marking.
9An emergency vehicle approaches from behind with audible and visual warnings in use. What should the driver do?
A.Create a safe path without entering danger or disobeying an officer's direction
B.Brake to an immediate stop in the current lane regardless of traffic
C.Accelerate through the next junction to stay ahead
D.Mount the footway whenever the road is congested
Explanation: The aim is to facilitate the emergency vehicle's passage while retaining control and protecting other road users. A driver should observe, signal, and move or stop only where doing so is safe.
10A pedestrian is partly hidden by a stopped vehicle beside a crossing. What should the approaching driver do?
A.Maintain speed because the pedestrian has not entered the lane
B.Reduce speed and be prepared to stop before the crossing
C.Move closer to the stopped vehicle to discourage the pedestrian
D.Overtake the stopped vehicle before checking why it stopped
Explanation: The stopped vehicle may conceal a pedestrian who is about to enter the driver's path. Lower speed and a prepared stop preserve the time and distance needed to avoid the hazard.

About the Algeria Permis Catégorie B Exam

Algeria's current Category B covers motor vehicles not exceeding 3,500 kg PTAC and, for passenger carriage, no more than eight seats besides the driver, subject to the decree's trailer rules. The 2024 national curriculum assigns 30 hours of theoretical and 30 hours of practical training, and Law n° 26-09 confirms theoretical and practical assessment. Current primary sources reviewed here do not publish the official assessment language, delivery modality, duration, item count, numeric pass mark, or national examination fee. This 24-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation and does not simulate the official format or replace practical driving instruction.

Assessment

Law n° 26-09, Articles 64 and 68, requires the licence corresponding to the vehicle category, completion of the prescribed training, and theoretical and practical tests. The Interior Ministry describes theory on the code de la route and practical manoeuvre/driving assessment; the reviewed public sources do not specify named practical sub-stages.

Algeria Permis Catégorie B Study Tips from Top Performers

1Read the control at each junction before applying a default priority rule.
2Separate perception/reaction distance from physical braking distance.
3Adapt speed to visibility, grip, traffic, vehicle, and load rather than treating a limit as a target.
4Practise a consistent pre-drive routine for tyres, visibility, controls, lights, fluids, and warnings.
5Treat the practical portion as a performance skill that an MCQ bank cannot reproduce.
