Motorcycle written test: Intersection Safety (Signalized / Unsignalized Intersections, Yielding to Pedestrians)

This category tests the order of giving way at intersections and the meaning of signals. Slow down when approaching a pedestrian crossing, and stop to let pedestrians go first when they are crossing; even if a pedestrian runs a red light, the driver must still watch out and stop. At an intersection with no signal, or with a faulty signal and no traffic officer directing, the vehicle on the branch road must stop and give way to the vehicle on the main road. Where there is no distinction between main and branch roads, the vehicle from the road with fewer lanes must stop and give way to the vehicle from the road with more lanes; when the number of lanes entering the intersection is equal and both vehicles are going straight, the vehicle on the left gives way to the vehicle on the right. Stop and then proceed at a flashing red light, and slow down at a flashing yellow light; when one side has flashing yellow and the other flashing red, the side with flashing yellow goes first.
