Sample Driving Theory Test (Turkmenistan) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Driving Theory Test (Turkmenistan) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under the Road Traffic Rules of Turkmenistan (Ýol hereketiniň düzgünleri), what is the meaning of warning sign 1.1?
A.Level railway crossing equipped with a barrier (Ala agaçly demir ýol geçelgesi)
B.Level railway crossing without a barrier (Ala agaçsyz demir ýol geçelgesi)
C.Controlled entrance to a restricted industrial facility
D.Drawbridge or ferry crossing ahead
Explanation: Warning sign 1.1 indicates a level railway crossing equipped with a barrier (Ala agaçly demir ýol geçelgesi). Outside built-up areas, warning signs are normally placed 150–300 meters before the hazard, giving drivers time to slow down and prepare to stop.
2What primary duty does sign 2.4 'Give Way' (Ýol beriň) impose on an approaching driver?
A.Make a mandatory complete stop at the stop line before proceeding under all circumstances
B.Yield right-of-way to vehicles traveling on the intersecting roadway
C.Sound the horn to claim right-of-way over pedestrian traffic
D.Accelerate quickly to clear the intersection before oncoming vehicles arrive
Explanation: Priority sign 2.4 'Give Way' (Ýol beriň) requires the driver to yield right-of-way to vehicles traveling along the intersecting road, or along the main road when supplemented with plate 7.13. Unlike sign 2.5, sign 2.4 does not require a full stop if the intersecting road is completely clear.
3What does prohibitory sign 3.1 'No entry' (Girmek gadagan) prohibit?
A.Movement of all vehicles in both directions along the road beyond the sign
B.Entry of trucks only, while passenger cars may continue
C.Entry of all vehicles in the direction in which the sign faces
D.Stopping and parking on the road section beyond the sign
Explanation: Sign 3.1 'No entry' (Girmek gadagan) prohibits all vehicles from entering in the direction the sign faces. It is typically used at the exit end of a one-way road, so traffic moving the permitted way is not affected.
4What direction of travel is mandated by mandatory sign 4.1.1 'Movement straight ahead' (Göni hereket)?
A.Drivers are warned of a long straight roadway with no bends
B.Drivers may proceed straight ahead or turn left at the next intersection
C.Drivers must enter a one-way street with traffic moving exclusively forward
D.Drivers must proceed only straight ahead through the immediate intersection
Explanation: Mandatory sign 4.1.1 'Movement straight ahead' (Göni hereket) means that at the intersection where it is installed, drivers may only continue straight ahead. The sign does not apply to route vehicles such as buses on their routes, and it does not forbid a right turn into a courtyard or other adjacent territory.
5What restriction is imposed by prohibitory sign 3.24 displaying the number '50'?
A.Driving at a speed exceeding 50 km/h is prohibited
B.Vehicles must maintain a minimum driving speed of at least 50 km/h
C.Vehicles must travel at exactly 50 km/h under all weather conditions
D.The sign indicates the remaining distance of 50 km to the nearest settlement
Explanation: Sign 3.24 is a prohibitory sign establishing a maximum speed limit. Driving at a speed higher than the value indicated on the sign (50 km/h) is prohibited until the next intersection or until an end-of-restriction sign is encountered.
6Inside an area marked with the 'Residential zone' (Ýaşaýyş zolagy) sign, which activities are prohibited?
A.Only through traffic (zowwam geçýän hereket)
B.Both through traffic and learner-driver training (okuw sürmesi)
C.Only learner-driver training
D.Neither, as long as drivers keep below the posted speed
Explanation: A residential zone is meant for local access and pedestrians, so the rules prohibit both through traffic and learner-driver training there. The official Awtomekdep practice tickets test exactly this point: all of the listed activities are prohibited.
7When approaching sign 2.5 'No passing without stopping' (Säginmän geçmek gadagan) at an intersection, where must the driver stop if there is no STOP line?
A.Directly next to the sign post itself
B.At least 15 meters prior to the intersection
C.At the edge of the intersecting carriageway
D.Wherever the driver has a clear view of oncoming traffic, even if past the curb line
Explanation: Sign 2.5 requires a stop before the STOP line or, if there is none, at the edge of the intersecting carriageway. The driver must then give way to traffic on the crossing road (or on the main road if plate 7.13 is shown).
8What does warning sign 1.23 'Road works' (Ýol işleri) alert drivers to?
A.An automated vehicle weighbridge station a short distance ahead
B.A seasonal landslide danger zone on mountain slopes
C.A permanent factory entrance where heavy machinery crosses the road
D.A section of road where repair or construction work is under way
Explanation: Sign 1.23 warns drivers of road maintenance or construction works on or adjacent to the carriageway. Drivers must reduce speed, increase following distance, and watch for road workers, barriers, and construction equipment.
9Under sign 3.20 'Overtaking prohibited' (Ozmak gadagan), which of the following may a driver still legally overtake?
A.Mopeds, horse-drawn carts and slow-moving vehicles
B.Passenger cars traveling below 40 km/h on a straight road
C.Any vehicle signaling an intention to make a right turn
D.Loaded freight trucks traveling slowly on an uphill grade
Explanation: Sign 3.20 (Ozmak gadagan) bans overtaking all vehicles except slow-moving vehicles, horse-drawn carts, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles without a sidecar. Even then, the overtaking must not break other rules such as crossing a solid line.
10How does sign 3.27 'No stopping' (Säginmek gadagan) differ from sign 3.28 'No parking' (Durmak gadagan)?
A.Sign 3.27 applies only to commercial trucks, while sign 3.28 applies to all vehicles
B.Sign 3.27 bans both stopping and parking, while sign 3.28 bans only parking
C.Sign 3.27 is valid only during daytime hours, while sign 3.28 operates around the clock
D.Sign 3.27 allows passenger boarding, whereas sign 3.28 strictly prohibits passenger boarding
Explanation: Sign 3.27 (Säginmek gadagan) prohibits both stopping and parking. Sign 3.28 (Durmak gadagan) prohibits only parking, so a brief stop, for example to let passengers in or out or to load goods, is still allowed.

About the Driving Theory Test (Turkmenistan) Exam

To get a driving licence in Turkmenistan, candidates normally complete a 2–3 month course at an auto school of the Association of Automobile Schools (Türkmenawtoulaglary Agency), then pass theory and practical exams. The Police Road Supervision Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs conducts the qualification exams and issues licences. The theory exam tests the Road Traffic Rules (Ýol hereketiniň düzgünleri), safe-driving technique, vehicle faults and first aid; the official practice tickets are in Turkmen and Russian. OpenExamPrep provides independent English-language MCQ practice for these topics. It is not an official translation, a simulation of the tablet test, or a substitute for auto-school training.

Exam sponsor: Police Road Supervision Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Turkmenistan (Polisiýanyň ýol gözegçiligi gullugy), with training through the Association of Automobile Schools of the Türkmenawtoulaglary Agency (Awtomekdep). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Driver training at an auto school ends with a theory exam (nazaryýet synagy) and a practical driving exam.

Theory covers the Road Traffic Rules (Ýol hereketiniň düzgünleri), safe-driving technique, vehicle faults and first aid.

Driving Theory Test (Turkmenistan): Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn sign names in Turkmen as well as English, for example 'Säginmän geçmek gadagan' (sign 2.5) and 'Ýol beriň' (sign 2.4), because the official tickets use them.
2Master traffic controller signals: with the right arm extended forward, vehicles from the controller's left may go in any direction, from the chest only right, and from the right side and back not at all.
3Remember that overtaking is banned on a level railway crossing and within 100 meters before it.
4For towing, a rigid coupling may be no longer than 4 meters, and towing on a flexible coupling is banned in icy conditions.
5Work through the 20 free tablet-test tickets on awtomekdep.edu.tm alongside this bank, since they show the official question style.
