Remember To Learn The Highway Code!

Profusion of Road Signs, Ballyvaughan, County Clare, Munster, Republic of Ireland

The Highway Code Book Must Be Studied Well!

Buy at AllPosters.com

Yes, I know there are a lot of signs in the highway code book to memorize and many of them are never seen on the roads of Cyprus. Many people ask me why there is a page about railway crossings when we don`t have trains in Cyprus! The fact is that many of the signs are international and you will be getting an EU licence, so you really need to know them all.

You will be tested on the highway code by an examiner twice: once when you go to obtain your provisional licence and then again before setting off on your driving test.

It isn`t that difficult! The easiest way to learn the signs is by category.In other words-

Triangular signs are warnings of some sort

Round signs with red borders are prohibitive or NO signs

Round blue signs are compulsory signs telling something you have to do.

Round blue signs with red borders are parking related , etc, etc.

Breaking the signs down into categories like that makes it easier to identify them, especially as some signs are quite similar.

As the highway code test is still done verbally, you aren`t given much time to think about your replies, so you need to have learnt the book thoroughly so you can answer quickly. Long pauses or wild guesses will not impress the examiner!

You do not have to learn the exact wording in the book, in fact it is better to express yourself in your own words, as long as the examiner realizes that you understand the meaning of the sign, road marking or hand signal in question.

Having looked through the book a few times, concentrate more on the signs that do not give you a visual clue by looking at them:-

No Right

It Virtually Describes Itself!

No Parking Or Stopping

No Clue From The Picture Here!

This No Right Turn Sign, for example  should be much easier to learn than this No Parking Or Stopping Sign!

Some people make the effort to learn the highway code for the provisional test, and then promptly forget all about it after that!

Remember that on the day of your driving test, the highway code test comes right at the beginning. If the examiner is not satisfied that you know the signs, you will fail the driving test without even sitting behind the wheel! That can and does happen, so don`t let it happen to you!

    I have figured out some significant things through your blog post. One other point I would like to mention is that there are various games available and which are designed specifically for preschool age young children. They contain pattern identification, colors, family pets, and styles. These typically focus on familiarization as an alternative to memorization. This helps to keep children engaged without feeling like they are learning. Thanks
