Provisional - Zimbabwe Highway Code, Road Signs & VID Test Prep & lessons

Road rules simulations

Half the provisional paper is a picture of a junction and a question about who moves. These are the real questions, redrawn from their own diagrams and set going, so you can call the answer and then watch the traffic prove it.

How to read the boards

The robot

Red, green, amber, and back to red. There is no red and amber phase here, so learn it as a loop: a question can start you anywhere on it.

Red

Red

Stop, and wait behind the line. Red is followed by green here, so the next thing you see is a green, not an amber.
