1What is the general right-of-way rule when negotiating a roundabout in Nigeria?
A.Give way to traffic approaching from your right
B.Give way to traffic already inside the roundabout on your left
C.Vehicles entering the roundabout always have right-of-way
D.The vehicle with the highest speed has right-of-way
Explanation: Because traffic in Nigeria moves on the right-hand side of the road, vehicles inside a roundabout circulate counter-clockwise. This means circulating traffic approaches you from the left, and you must yield/give way to them before entering.
2In what year did Nigeria officially switch from driving on the left to driving on the right side of the road?
A.1960
B.1972
C.1988
D.2007
Explanation: Nigeria officially changed from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic on April 2, 1972. This change was implemented to harmonize driving practices with neighbouring West African countries that already drove on the right.
3When a traffic warden or marshal extends one hand vertically straight up, what does this signal mean to road users?
A.Stop only for vehicles approaching from the rear
B.Stop for all vehicles approaching from both the front and the back
C.Stop only for vehicles approaching from the left and right
D.All vehicles may proceed with caution
Explanation: According to the Nigeria Highway Code, a traffic marshal extending one arm vertically upwards is signaling a complete stop for all vehicles approaching from both the front and the back.
4What is the meaning of a traffic warden extending both arms horizontally to the sides?
A.Stop for vehicles approaching from both the left and right sides
B.Stop for vehicles approaching from the front and back only
C.All vehicles must turn left immediately
D.Vehicles from all directions may proceed at the same time
Explanation: Extending arms horizontally to the sides signals a stop to vehicles approaching from the left and right directions, clearing a path for traffic from the front and back to proceed if directed.
5What is the primary rule when approaching a Yellow Box Junction on Nigerian roads?
A.You must stop and wait for the light to turn green before entering
B.You must not enter the box unless your exit road or lane is clear
C.You should accelerate to clear the box as quickly as possible
D.You may enter and block the junction if you are turning left
Explanation: A Yellow Box Junction consists of a yellow crisscross grid painted on the road. The rule is that you must not enter the box unless your exit road or lane is clear, to prevent blocking the intersection and causing gridlock.
6What do double continuous solid white lines painted along the center of the road indicate?
A.Overtaking is permitted only during the daytime
B.Overtaking or crossing the lines is strictly prohibited from either direction
C.The lane is reserved for commercial vehicles and buses
D.You may cross the lines to make a U-turn if the road is clear
Explanation: Double solid white lines in the center of the road mean that crossing or straddling the lines to overtake is strictly prohibited for vehicles traveling in either direction.
7When is crossing a single broken white line in the center of the road permitted?
A.Only when emergency vehicles are behind you
B.When you need to overtake another vehicle and it is safe to do so
C.Only when turning into a petrol station
D.Never, as broken lines are the same as solid lines
Explanation: A broken white line down the center of the road separates lanes or directions of traffic. You are permitted to cross it to change lanes or overtake, provided it is safe to do so and the road ahead is clear.
8What is the meaning of a single continuous solid white line down the center of the road?
A.You may cross it to overtake at any time
B.You must not cross or straddle it unless to avoid a hazard or turn into a side road
C.It indicates the edge of the road shoulder
D.It is a temporary marking used only in construction zones
Explanation: A single solid white line down the center of the road discourages crossing. You should not cross or straddle it unless you are turning into a side road or property, or need to safely pass a stationary hazard.
9Under what condition is overtaking a vehicle on the right side permitted in Nigeria?
A.Overtaking on the right is never permitted under any circumstances
B.When the vehicle ahead has signaled and is about to make a left turn, and there is space on the right
C.Whenever you are driving on a three-lane highway
D.When you want to pass a slow-moving heavy truck quickly
Explanation: In Nigeria's right-hand traffic system, overtaking is normally done on the left. However, you may pass/overtake on the right if the vehicle ahead has clearly signaled its intention to turn left and there is safe, sufficient road width on the right to pass.
10Overtaking is strictly prohibited in which of the following areas?
A.On a straight road with broken white lines
B.At the crest of a hill, sharp bends, or near a pedestrian crossing
C.On a dual carriageway with two lanes
D.During early morning hours when traffic is light
Explanation: Overtaking requires clear visibility of oncoming traffic. It is strictly prohibited at the brow or crest of a hill, on sharp bends, or near pedestrian crossings where your view is obstructed or pedestrians are vulnerable.
