Traffic quiz: Who has the right of way, who turns first? Test yourself!

When did you get your driving license? For many participants in German road traffic, this time was decades ago – driving a car no longer happens analytically, but intuitively. Right of way, turning and merging are just some of the traffic rules that drivers, motorists and cyclists must observe in traffic.

Who is allowed to drive first can often lead to uncertainty, especially at bottlenecks or intersections. Turning may also seem easy at first glance, but it requires a sharp eye and quick thinking. Depending on whether you turn left or right and the specific traffic rules and signs, the order may vary. Good communication with other road users through flashing and timely signaling is crucial.

Another challenge in traffic is merging, especially when the road narrows. Here it is important to understand the so-called zip method, in which drivers take turns moving into the same lane. Signaling and keeping an eye on your blind spot are essential to ensure a safe and accident-free journey.

Finally, interaction with pedestrians is an important aspect of safe driving. Particular attention is required at pedestrian crossings, traffic lights and intersections. Understanding the right-of-way rules and knowing how to react in different situations is crucial for the safety of all road users.

Understanding traffic rules, especially right-of-way rules, is a crucial factor for safe participation on the road. Every sign, every light signal must be recognized and understood. They help regulate traffic flow and avoid collisions.

These and other traffic rules and scenarios are the subject of the following quiz. Test your knowledge and show how fit you are in dealing with the demands of road traffic!
