Turkish driving test traffic questions with answers

Correct answer: B) 50

In residential areas the maximum speed for cars is 50 km/h unless a sign shows a different limit.

Correct answer: B) Vehicles already circulating around the island

If there are no lights or signs, vehicles already going around the island have the right of way. Entering vehicles give way to them.

Correct answer: C) 45 metres

The following distance in metres should be at least half the speed in km/h. At 90 km/h that is 45 metres.

Correct answer: C) Slow down and proceed with caution

A flashing yellow light means reduce speed and pass carefully.

Correct answer: C) Stopping in emergencies such as a breakdown

The hard shoulder is only for stopping in emergencies like breakdowns or accidents, and for emergency vehicles.

Correct answer: B) You must not drive on or cross the line

A solid line must not be touched or crossed, so overtaking is not possible on that section.

Correct answer: C) Pull over to the right and give way

Give way to emergency vehicles by pulling over to the right as far as possible and stopping if necessary.

Correct answer: B) Low beam

Use low beam so you do not dazzle the oncoming driver.

Correct answer: B) On the crest of a hill where visibility is poor

You must not overtake where visibility is poor, such as hill crests, bends and junctions.

Correct answer: B) Green is about to come on; get ready but do not move

Red and yellow together mean green will come on next. Get ready, but do not move until the light is green.

Correct answer: B) The light will turn red; stop before entering the junction

Yellow means red is coming. A driver who can stop safely stops before the junction. A driver already in the junction completes the crossing.

Correct answer: B) Stopping (duraklama)

Stopping (duraklama) is a short stop to pick up or drop off passengers or goods. Leaving the vehicle for longer is parking.

Correct answer: A) Give way to vehicles on the main road

A vehicle joining a main road from a minor road must give way to vehicles on the main road.

Correct answer: B) Stop completely, check the road and give way

At a STOP sign the vehicle must come to a complete stop. Check the road and go only after giving way to vehicles with priority.

Correct answer: B) Still stop completely, check, and then go

At a STOP sign you must stop completely even if the road is empty. Check, then go after giving way to anyone with priority.

Correct answer: B) Pass carefully without stopping

The GIVE WAY sign requires you to give way to traffic on the road you are entering. If it is empty, you do not have to stop. That is the difference from STOP.

Correct answer: A) Priority road

The yellow diamond means you are on a priority (main) road and have the right of way at junctions.

Correct answer: B) Road closed to all vehicles

A white circle with a red border means the road is closed to vehicles in both directions. A red circle with a white horizontal bar is the No Entry sign.

Correct answer: B) No entry

A white horizontal bar on a red background is the No Entry sign. It is usually placed at the exit end of one-way streets.

Correct answer: B) Stopping briefly to drop off or pick up passengers

This sign with a single diagonal line only prohibits parking. Brief stops to drop off or pick up passengers are allowed.

Correct answer: C) Both stopping and parking

The sign with an X prohibits both stopping and parking.

Correct answer: A) No overtaking

Two cars, one red and one black, inside a red circle mean overtaking the vehicle in front is prohibited.

Correct answer: B) Keep right

Blue circular signs are mandatory signs. The arrow pointing down to the right means pass the obstacle on its right side.

Correct answer: B) One-way road

An arrow in a blue square or rectangle is an information sign meaning the road is one-way in the direction of the arrow. A blue circle would be a mandatory sign.

Correct answer: B) Two-way traffic

Two arrows pointing in opposite directions inside a triangle warn that the road ahead carries two-way traffic. Vehicles may come towards you.

Correct answer: B) You must not drive faster than 50 km/h

The number inside a white circle with a red border is the maximum speed. You must not exceed it.

Correct answer: B) Vehicle 2

At uncontrolled junctions of equal roads, give way to the vehicle coming from the right. For vehicle 1, vehicle 2 is coming from the right.

Correct answer: B) Vehicle 2

A driver joining a main road from a minor road must give way to vehicles on the main road.

Correct answer: B) Vehicle 2

A driver turning left must give way to vehicles coming straight from the opposite direction.

Correct answer: B) Vehicle 2, which is circulating around the island

At roundabouts without lights or signs, vehicles already circulating around the island have the right of way.

Correct answer: B) Crossing the line to overtake

A solid centre line must not be crossed or touched, so you cannot move into the opposite lane to overtake there.

Correct answer: A) Only A

When a solid and a broken line run side by side, only the driver on the broken-line side may cross. In the picture the broken line is on A's side.

Correct answer: B) Turn right after giving way to those with priority

A green arrow shown with a red light means you may turn only in the direction of the arrow, giving way to pedestrians and anyone with priority.

Correct answer: B) The traffic sign

The order is: traffic officer, traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings. Signs come before road markings.

Correct answer: B) Stop if it is safe to do so

A steady yellow on its own means red is coming. A driver who has not entered the junction and can stop safely must stop.

Correct answer: B) It should be increased

On wet roads tyres grip less and braking distance gets longer, so you must increase your following distance.

Correct answer: C) 110

The maximum speed for cars on divided roads is 110 km/h.

Correct answer: B) Follow the officer's signal and go

Signals from a traffic officer take priority over traffic lights and signs.

Correct answer: B) 15 days

Traffic fines paid within 15 days of notification are reduced by 25%.

Correct answer: D) Before the stop line

The stop line marks the last point where the vehicle must stop. Do not cross it.

Correct answer: B) They have priority over vehicles coming from minor side roads

The priority road sign means vehicles on this road have the right of way over vehicles coming from minor roads at junctions.

Correct answer: C) Turn right

This sign means turning right is prohibited at the junction.

Correct answer: B) Which directions you may go from that lane

Lane arrows show the directions you can take from that lane. Choose your lane early.

Correct answer: C) Carefully clear the junction

A driver caught inside a junction should carefully clear it so as not to block traffic.

Correct answer: C) Even with the right of way, they must be careful to avoid a crash

Having the right of way does not free a driver from the duty to drive carefully.

Correct answer: D) The right lane

Drivers normally keep to the right lane. The left lanes are for overtaking and turning left.

Correct answer: A) Cutting across several lanes in one move is correct

Change lanes one lane at a time, in a controlled and gradual way.

Correct answer: D) Check that oncoming traffic and traffic behind allow a safe overtake

Before overtaking, check that the road ahead is clear enough and that no one behind has started to overtake you.

Correct answer: C) When approaching and on level (railway) crossings

Overtaking is prohibited when approaching and on level crossings.

Correct answer: D) If road, weather or traffic conditions are poor, you must drive below the limit

The maximum speed is the highest speed allowed. Drivers must adjust their speed to the conditions.

Correct answer: A) Reaction (thinking) distance and braking distance

Stopping distance is the distance travelled during the driver's reaction time plus the distance travelled after braking starts.

Correct answer: B) It becomes about four times longer

Braking distance increases with the square of speed. Double the speed and braking distance roughly quadruples.

Correct answer: A) Close to the right edge of the road, in a tight curve

A driver turning right moves into the right lane early and turns in a tight curve, following the right edge of the road.

Correct answer: B) The car may skid or spin

Sudden braking in a bend reduces tyre grip and can make the car skid.

Correct answer: D) Change to a lower gear and use engine braking

In a lower gear the engine brakes the car, so the brakes do not overheat.

Correct answer: B) On both the right and left side, unless prohibited

On one-way roads, unless a sign prohibits it, you may stop and park on both the right and left sides.

Correct answer: A) Switch off the engine, apply the handbrake and lock the car

A driver who parks must make sure the car cannot move by itself or be used by others.

Correct answer: C) It is prohibited because it blocks pedestrians

Pavements belong to pedestrians. Parking there pushes them into the road and is prohibited.

Correct answer: C) Bridges and shaded areas

Bridges are cooled from below too, and shaded areas get no sun, so they ice up faster.

Correct answer: D) The driven wheels (the ones that transmit power)

Snow chains go on the driven wheels, which transmit engine power to the road, to improve grip.

Correct answer: A) At night on an unlit road, with no vehicle ahead or coming towards you

Use high beam on unlit roads when it will not dazzle other drivers.

Correct answer: A) Continue to the next exit

Reversing, turning around and stopping without need are prohibited on motorways. Use the next exit.

Correct answer: B) Level crossing

A level crossing is where a road and a railway cross on the same level.

Correct answer: C) Stop and wait for the pedestrian to cross

Pedestrians have priority at crossings. The driver must stop and give way.

Correct answer: B) It is prohibited

Holding on to another vehicle can cause loss of balance and control, so it is prohibited.

Correct answer: C) A fire extinguisher

A fire extinguisher, a first aid kit and a warning triangle (reflector) are among the equipment a car must carry.

Correct answer: B) Cover the load and load it so it cannot spill

Loads must be covered and secured so they do not spill onto the road and cause danger.

Correct answer: C) Only time removes the effect of alcohol; coffee or a shower does not help

The body removes alcohol over time. Coffee or a shower does not shorten that time.

Correct answer: A) Stop in a safe place and rest, or sleep if needed

When you feel tired, the only safe solution is to stop and rest.

Correct answer: C) Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless and causes poisoning when breathed in.

Correct answer: B) Carbon monoxide from the exhaust builds up and can cause poisoning

Exhaust gas builds up in closed spaces, and carbon monoxide can be deadly.
