Roundabouts and Intersections

  • Single lane roundabouts allow multiple vehicles to turn in the same direction at the same time.
  • Maintain your lane position during and after the turn.

Traffic Signs

  • Permissive signs: green circle on a white square, indicating the action within the circle is permitted.
  • Prohibitive signs: red circle with a diagonal red bar on a white square, indicating the action within the circle is not permitted.
  • Examples of prohibitive signs: no left turn, no right turn, no U-turn, do not pass, etc.

Lane Markings

  • Bicycle lanes: reserved for cyclists, separated from traffic and parking by solid white lines, marked with an image of a bicycle and diamond.
  • Painted island markings: indicate an area not to be used for travel, but can be crossed by motorists to enter or leave a driveway, alleyway, or private drive.
  • Crosswalk lines: mark pedestrian crosswalks, also exist at intersections even when unmarked, unless a sign indicates no crossing.
  • Stop lines: indicate where vehicles must stop at intersections or railway crossings.
  • No stopping zone markings: indicate areas where drivers should not stop to avoid interfering with other vehicles.
