Zimbabwe road rules covering road use and navigation, 6 rules. Ready to test yourself? Try Road Use and Navigation practice questions.
Never set the vehicle in motion until you have looked around it and under it. Children and small animals settle exactly where the driver's seat cannot see them, and nothing you do afterwards undoes driving over one.
The desire to overtake for the sake of it can become an obsession. Fight it. Pass only when you have reason to and the road allows it.
Incorrect behaviour at road junctions causes many collisions. Never make or act on a last-minute decision at one. If you have missed your turn, overrun the junction and come back to it.
Decide what you are going to do at a junction early enough to take up the correct position on the road. Never act on a last minute decision. If you find yourself in the wrong lane, it is safer to overrun the junction and come back to it than to cut across for the turn.
Traffic on a traffic circle circulates clockwise, because Zimbabwe keeps to the left. Read the signs, the lane markings and the arrows painted on the road on the way in, and settle into the lane that suits your exit before you get there.
Where a pedestrian crossing is marked at a robot controlled intersection, respect it and give people the chance to get across safely. A vehicle turning left or right gives way to any pedestrian within the crossing.
