Yellow box junctions and special road markings in Ireland
Beyond simple centre lines, Irish roads use a range of special markings to control traffic. The theory test checks that you know what each of these markings requires of you.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ You must not enter a yellow box junction unless your exit is clear, except when turning right and only oncoming traffic stops you.
- ◆ Hatched (chevron) markings separate streams of traffic; do not enter them unless it is safe and necessary.
- ◆ A continuous white line beside a bus or cycle lane means you must not enter it during its hours of operation.
- ◆ Coloured surfaces often mark cycle lanes or bus lanes -- keep out of them when the restriction applies.
- ◆ Lane arrows on the road tell you which lane to use for your intended direction.
