One Way Streets

Make sure that you know when you are in a one-way street, and when you turn right that you are on the right hand side of the road.

This applies at the end, and in the middle, of a one-way street.

MANY PEOPLE FAIL BECAUSE THEY DON’T DO THIS.

At the end of a one-way all visible road markings will be duplicated on BOTH sides of the road.   

Most people fail their driving tests because they get in the wrong lane, often this is at the end of one-way streets. The general rule is if you get stuck in the wrong lane, wherever it may be, go in the direction of the lane. You won’t fail if you go the wrong way, only if you drive incorrectly. and remember - all roads are two-way unless there are signs telling you differently. Make sure you know which lane you should be in and know your road markings.

Stop junctions have solid white lines - if the solid line is all the way across you are in a one-way, if it’s only half way across then you are in a two-way

Give-Way junctions have double broken white lines - if the double broken line is all the way across you are in a one-way, if it’s only half way across then you are in a two-way

A single broken line shows the entrance to a road.  However there are exceptions

Make sure you are confident with one way and two-way streets: Try to work out which of these roads are: one-way; two-way; Stop junctions; Give-way junctions 

Remember that if the road is two-way then the road markings on each side of the road will be different. If it is one-way both sides of the road will have the same markings and it will have signs telling you before you get to the junction
