1What does a red octagonal road sign mean at a junction in Eswatini?

A.Slow down and proceed if the road looks clear

B.Stop completely, then proceed only when it is safe

C.Give way only to traffic from the right

D.No entry for goods vehicles only

Explanation: Under the SADC road-sign system used in Eswatini and other left-hand traffic SADC states, the red octagon is the Stop sign. You must come to a full stop at the stop line or before entering the junction, check all directions, and move only when it is safe.

2An inverted (downward-pointing) triangle with a red border and white centre means you must:

A.Stop completely every time, regardless of traffic

B.Give way to traffic on the road you are joining or crossing

C.Turn around because the road is closed

D.Increase speed to clear the junction quickly

Explanation: The inverted red triangle is the Give Way (Yield) sign in the SADC sign system. Slow down, prepare to stop, and yield priority to traffic on the major road or as otherwise indicated.

3A circular sign with a red border and a white horizontal bar across the centre means:

A.No parking on this side of the road

B.No entry for vehicles from this direction

C.End of all previous restrictions

D.One-way traffic ahead only

Explanation: This is the No Entry sign. It forbids all vehicles from entering the road from that direction and is commonly placed at the exit end of one-way streets.

4A circular white sign with a red border showing a black number (for example 60) indicates:

A.The recommended minimum speed in kilometres per hour

B.The maximum speed limit in kilometres per hour

C.The distance in kilometres to the next town

D.The route number of the road

Explanation: In the SADC regulatory sign system used in Eswatini, a red-bordered circular disc with a black number shows the maximum legal speed in km/h on that section unless another sign or police direction applies.

5Which shape and colour pattern is standard for prohibitory regulatory signs in the SADC system used in Eswatini?

A.Upright triangle with red border

B.Circle with red border on a white background

C.Blue rectangle with white symbol

D.Yellow diamond with black symbol

Explanation: Prohibitory regulatory signs are circular with a red border and white background (often with a red diagonal slash over the prohibited action). Upright triangles warn; blue rectangles inform; yellow diamonds are used in other regions, not as the SADC default for prohibitory signs.

6A circular red-bordered sign showing two cars side by side with a red diagonal slash typically means:

A.Dual carriageway begins

B.No overtaking

C.Two lanes must be used at all times

D.Overtaking is compulsory

Explanation: The paired-cars symbol with a red slash is the No Overtaking (no passing) prohibitory sign. Do not overtake other vehicles on the stretch controlled by that sign.

7A circular red-bordered sign with a red diagonal slash over a U-turn arrow means:

A.U-turns are compulsory at the next junction

B.U-turns are prohibited

C.The road ahead is one-way only

D.You must reverse out of the road

Explanation: A red slash over a U-turn symbol is a prohibitory sign meaning U-turns are not allowed at that location.

8What does a circular red-bordered sign with a red slash over a left-turn arrow mean?

A.Left turns are compulsory

B.Left turns are prohibited

C.Keep left of the traffic island

D.Lane ends; merge left

Explanation: A red diagonal slash over a turn arrow forbids that turn. You must not turn left at the junction controlled by the sign.

9In the SADC sign system used in Eswatini, a blue rectangular sign showing a white letter 'P' indicates:

A.A police checkpoint ahead

B.Parking is permitted there, subject to any additional plates

C.A pedestrian-only zone

D.Parking is prohibited at all times

Explanation: In the SADC sign set the parking sign is a blue rectangle carrying a white P, often with a plate limiting the times, the vehicle class or the number of bays. Shape matters here: a blue rectangle informs or reserves, whereas a blue disc gives a command such as keep left.

10A round restriction sign showing a red border and a single red diagonal bar over a blue field means:

A.Parking is prohibited on the length of road the sign controls

B.End of dual carriageway

C.Hospital nearby

D.Minimum speed applies

Explanation: This is the parking-prohibited sign in the SADC restriction family. It bans parking where it applies, so always read any plate underneath for times or exemptions. A separate sign in the same family prohibits stopping altogether, which is stricter than a parking ban.

About the Eswatini Road Sign Test Exam

The Eswatini learner's licence road-sign test is the knowledge gate before a Learners Driver's Licence is issued. The Government of Eswatini Accountant-General services page lists the process: buy the application form at any Revenue Office for E25.00, pass a road-sign test at a police station, then present Graded Tax Certificate, national ID, two police-stamped colour passport photos and E40.00 for a learner's licence valid three months only. Light motor vehicle applicants must be 18 or older; heavy duty applicants must be 21 or older. The Road Transportation Department (Ministry of Public Works and Transport) is mandated to examine learner drivers under the Road Traffic Act 2007 and related Road Transportation Act 2007, and the Driver License Examination Unit examines knowledge of rules of the road and road traffic signs. Eswatini is a SADC left-hand traffic state whose road signs follow the SADC Road Traffic Signs Manual family. Official item count, time limit and pass mark are not published. This free English-language four-option MCQ bank is a study adaptation of those road-sign and rules topics — not an official police oral/written paper, not a format simulation, and not a substitute for practical driving instruction.

Assessment

Process per Government of Eswatini: (1) obtain the learner's application form at any Revenue Office (E25.00); (2) take and pass the road-sign test at a police station; (3) return with Graded Tax Certificate, ID, two colour passport photos signed and stamped by the police, and pay E40.00 for the learner's licence. RTD under the Ministry of Public Works and Transport is responsible for learner-driver testing and licensing under the Road Traffic Act 2007. A full driver's licence later requires a separate practical driving examination after a valid learner's licence.

Eswatini Road Sign Test Study Tips from Top Performers

1Learn SADC sign families by shape first: red octagon stop; inverted red triangle yield; red-ringed circles prohibit; blue discs command; upright red triangles warn; rectangles inform.

2Drill the official process numbers from gov.sz: E25 form, E40 licence after pass, 3-month learner validity, age 18 light / 21 heavy duty.

3Practice left-hand traffic junction and overtaking logic — Eswatini drives on the left like most of southern Africa.

4Do not invent unposted speed limits in your head on test day; obey the numeric speed-limit disc and local police instructions when signs are present.

5Treat this MCQ bank as vocabulary and judgment practice for the police road-sign / theory check, then still take practical instruction before the full driver's licence test.
