    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.

    Your theory certificate lasts two years. Most learners who use it quickly do it with an intensive course — a block of hours with a DVSA approved instructor and a practical test at the end, instead of one lesson a week for months.
