Question 1

You arrive at an unmarked crossroads at the same time as a vehicle approaching from your right. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle on your right has priority. The vehicle on your right has priority. At an unmarked or equal junction in Oman (right-hand traffic), you must give way to traffic approaching from your right. Always confirm the current rule with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

You have priority because you arrived at the junction first

Answer

The larger vehicle has priority

Answer

Neither vehicle has priority; both must stop and wait

Question 2

You are about to enter a roundabout. Traffic is already circulating on it. Who must give way?

Accepted Answer

You must give way to traffic already on the roundabout. You must give way to traffic already circulating on the roundabout. In Oman, roundabouts flow counter-clockwise and circulating traffic arrives from your left; you yield to it before entering. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Traffic on the roundabout must give way to entering vehicles

Answer

The vehicle to your right must give way

Answer

Whoever enters the roundabout first has priority

Question 3

An ambulance with blue lights flashing and siren sounding is approaching from behind you. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Move to the right, slow down and stop safely to let it pass. You must pull over to the right side of the road and stop to allow the emergency vehicle to pass. Oman drives on the right, so moving right clears the lane for emergency vehicles. Always confirm the exact procedure with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Speed up to stay ahead of the ambulance

Answer

Continue at your current speed; the ambulance will go around you

Answer

Move to the left and stop immediately

Question 4

A pedestrian is already crossing on a marked zebra crossing. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop and wait until the pedestrian has fully crossed. You must stop and give way to any pedestrian already on a marked zebra crossing. The pedestrian has right of way and you must wait until they have completely finished crossing before proceeding. Always confirm specifics with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Sound the horn and continue if the pedestrian is walking slowly

Answer

Drive around the pedestrian if there is enough space

Answer

Flash your headlights to warn the pedestrian to hurry

Question 5

You reach a junction controlled by a STOP sign and white stop line. What are you required to do?

Accepted Answer

Stop completely at the line, check for traffic, and move only when safe. A STOP sign requires you to come to a complete stop at the stop line regardless of whether traffic is visible. After stopping, check in all directions and proceed only when it is safe. Always confirm current requirements with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Slow down and proceed if no vehicle is visible

Answer

Give way to traffic on the right only, then proceed without stopping

Answer

Stop only if another vehicle is actually approaching

Question 6

You are at a junction controlled by a GIVE WAY sign. No traffic is visible. Must you stop?

Accepted Answer

No, you may proceed without stopping if it is clearly safe to do so. A GIVE WAY sign means yield to traffic on the major road, but you are not legally required to make a full stop if the road is clearly safe to enter. Unlike a STOP sign, you stop only if traffic demands it. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Yes, you must always stop at a GIVE WAY sign

Answer

Yes, you must stop and count to three before moving

Answer

No, a GIVE WAY sign means you have priority over all other traffic

Question 7

You are on a minor road approaching a T-junction where you must turn onto the main road. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic already travelling on the main road has priority. At a T-junction the road you are joining is the major road and all traffic on it has priority. You must give way to vehicles travelling along the main road before entering it. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

You have priority because you arrived at the junction first

Answer

Traffic turning in the same direction as you has priority

Answer

The vehicle on your right has priority; the main road does not matter

Question 8

A bus has stopped at a bus stop and its indicator shows it intends to pull back onto the road. What should drivers behind do?

Accepted Answer

Give way to the bus where it is safe to do so. When a bus signals to pull away from a bus stop, drivers should give way to it where it is safe to do so. This is a courteous and often legally required practice in Oman. Always confirm the exact rule with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Sound the horn and overtake on the right before the bus moves

Answer

Give way only if it is a school bus

Answer

The bus must wait for all traffic to clear before it can move

Question 9

You are joining a motorway from a slip road (on-ramp). Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic already on the motorway has priority. Motorway traffic has priority. When joining from a slip road you must match your speed to motorway traffic and merge safely without forcing other vehicles to brake. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Vehicles on the slip road have priority because they are accelerating

Answer

The vehicle that has been waiting the longest has priority

Answer

Priority is shared equally between both streams of traffic

Question 10

You are driving up a narrow mountain road and you meet a vehicle coming downhill. There is only room for one vehicle to pass. Who should give way?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle travelling downhill should give way to the vehicle going uphill. The vehicle travelling downhill gives way to the vehicle going uphill, because reversing downhill on a steep narrow road is more dangerous than reversing uphill. The downhill driver should reverse to the nearest passing place. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

The vehicle going uphill should reverse to let the downhill vehicle pass

Answer

The larger vehicle should reverse regardless of direction

Answer

Both vehicles stop and wait for a third party to direct them

Question 11

You are driving through a school zone during school hours. A group of children is waiting at the edge of the road. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Slow down significantly and be prepared to stop for children crossing. In school zones you must reduce speed and be ready to stop for children who may cross. Children are unpredictable and Oman law requires extra caution in these areas. Always confirm the specific speed limit with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Sound the horn to warn the children and continue at the posted speed limit

Answer

Children have no special right of way; continue at the speed limit

Answer

Stop only if a crossing guard is present

Question 12

Traffic signals at a junction fail completely and show no lights at all. How should you treat the junction?

Accepted Answer

Treat it as an unmarked junction and give way to traffic from the right. When traffic signals fail entirely the junction becomes effectively uncontrolled. Treat it as an unmarked junction, give way to traffic on your right, and proceed with caution. Always confirm the correct procedure with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

All traffic stops permanently until the signals are repaired

Answer

The road with more lanes automatically has priority

Answer

Proceed at full speed because the signal restriction no longer applies

Question 13

You want to exit a roundabout in Oman. Which direction do you signal before leaving?

Accepted Answer

Signal right before your exit. In Oman, roundabouts flow counter-clockwise (right-hand traffic). You signal right to indicate that you are leaving the roundabout at the next exit. Always confirm signalling requirements with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Signal left before your exit

Answer

No signal is needed on a roundabout

Answer

Signal left on entry and right only when you are level with the exit

Question 14

A traffic light is showing a flashing amber signal. What does this mean for right of way?

Accepted Answer

Proceed with caution, giving way to pedestrians and other vehicles as needed. A flashing amber signal means proceed with caution. You must give way to pedestrians and other vehicles as necessary, but you are not required to stop unless safety demands it. Always confirm the exact meaning with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Stop immediately and wait for a green signal before moving

Answer

You have priority; other traffic must stop for you

Answer

The junction is closed; turn around

Question 15

You are driving on a one-way street and approaching a junction with a two-way road. You want to turn right. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic on the two-way road has priority; you must give way before turning. When leaving a one-way street to join a two-way road, you must give way to traffic on the two-way road coming from both directions before completing your turn. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

You have priority because you are exiting a one-way street

Answer

Only traffic approaching from the left on the two-way road has priority

Answer

One-way street traffic always has right of way at any junction

Question 16

A cyclist is travelling straight on at a junction where you want to turn right. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

The cyclist going straight on has priority over you turning right. A cyclist travelling straight through a junction has priority over a vehicle turning across their path. You must wait for the cyclist to pass before turning right. Always check for cyclists and confirm rules with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

You have priority because you are in a motor vehicle

Answer

You both have equal priority; whoever moves first goes first

Answer

The cyclist must stop and let you complete your right turn

Question 17

You are reversing out of a private driveway onto a public road. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Traffic on the public road has priority; you must give way. When reversing from a private driveway onto a public road you are entering the road and must give way to all traffic and pedestrians on it. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

You have priority because you were in the driveway first

Answer

Priority is equal; sound your horn and reverse slowly

Answer

Pedestrians must give way to you while you reverse

Question 18

Two lanes merge into one ahead. How should drivers handle the merge correctly?

Accepted Answer

Use a zip-merge: each lane takes turns alternately at the merge point. A zip-merge (alternating merge) is the recommended and most efficient method where two lanes reduce to one. Each lane takes a turn alternately at the merge point, keeping traffic flowing safely. Always confirm specific rules with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

The right lane has absolute priority and the left lane must stop

Answer

The vehicle that was furthest ahead in its lane always has full priority

Answer

Drivers in the closing lane must stop and wait until the road is completely clear

Question 19

A police officer at a junction is facing you with their arm raised towards you. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop immediately; the officer's signal overrides all signs and signals. Instructions given by a police officer directing traffic always take priority over road signs and traffic signals. If an officer signals you to stop, you must stop immediately. Always obey police officers directing traffic.

Answer

Slow down but continue if the traffic light shows green

Answer

Sound the horn to alert the officer and continue through

Answer

Stop only if the officer is waving you down specifically

Question 20

You are about to pull out of a parking space on the side of the road. Who has priority?

Accepted Answer

Moving traffic on the road has priority over you. When pulling away from a parked position you are joining moving traffic and must give way to vehicles already travelling on the road. Signal your intention and wait until it is safe to move. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

You have priority because your vehicle is in front of the other vehicles

Answer

Priority is equal if you have been signalling for more than three seconds

Answer

Pedestrians must give way to you; other vehicles have equal priority

Question 21

At an unmarked Y-junction (fork in the road) you arrive at the same time as a vehicle coming from the road that merges in from your right. Who gives way?

Accepted Answer

You give way to the vehicle coming from the right. At an unmarked Y-junction, the same rule applies as at any unmarked junction: give way to traffic on your right. The vehicle approaching from your right has priority regardless of whether the road merges. Always confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

The vehicle on the right gives way because it is merging into your road

Answer

The vehicle travelling faster has priority

Answer

Both vehicles stop until one driver waves the other through

Question 22

You want to take the second exit at a two-lane roundabout. Which lane should you normally use to enter?

Accepted Answer

Use the right lane for the first exit and the left lane for exits beyond the first, unless signs say otherwise. For the first exit use the right lane; for exits beyond the first use the left lane, unless road markings or signs indicate otherwise. This prevents lane conflict on the roundabout. Always follow road markings and confirm with the Royal Oman Police.

Answer

Always use the right lane regardless of which exit you take

Answer

Always use the left lane regardless of which exit you take

Answer

Lane choice on a roundabout does not matter as long as you signal
