    What is meant by the broken line at the entrance to the roundabout?

    DVSA-style practice question · Road and Traffic Signs

    Illustration for the theory test question: What is meant by the broken line at the entrance to the roundabout?

    The answer options

    • Give way to traffic coming from the rightCorrect
    • Stop at the line
    • There is no right of way
    • You have right of way

    Why that is the answer

    The broken give-way line at a roundabout entrance indicates that you must yield to traffic approaching from your right. The Highway Code states you should check for traffic and give way before joining. Unlike a solid stop line, a broken line means you do not have to come to a complete standstill if the road is clear, but you must never assume you have right of way when entering a roundabout.

    How this comes up in the real test

    Questions from road and traffic signs appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.

    The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
