Takeaways

• 🚨 At a red light with a dashed stop line, stop at the indicated line to avoid blocking intersections for large vehicles turning.
• 🚫 A 'No Stopping and Parking' sign means you can't stop for any reason other than traffic conditions, not even to drop off passengers.
• 🚗 For parking, the signage indicating 'Parking Prohibited except for freight transport' does not apply to passenger cars, allowing them to park.
• 🔨 When faced with a flashing red cross signal, it means the oncoming traffic has a red light, not green.
• 🚦 Turning left is allowed if the road markings (dashed lines between solid lines) permit crossing to make the turn.
• 🛣‍♂️ Emergency vehicles with two-tone sirens have priority; anticipate their path and give way.
• 📢 A 'Priority Road' sign means you have priority at all intersections on that road until a 'End of Priority Road' sign is encountered.
• ⛔‍⚡ Passing a cyclist is prohibited if there's insufficient space, oncoming traffic, or other obstacles like opened car doors.
• 🔢 The 'Neutral Gear' position in a vehicle indicates no gear is engaged, allowing the car to roll freely.
