Australian Capital Territory · Road Rules Knowledge Test · Intersections

An intersection is marked with both a hold line and a turn line. What is the turn line for?

The answer

  • It marks where to stop when turning
  • It guides your turn - stay to the left of it Correct
  • It separates buses from other traffic
  • It shows where the pedestrian crossing begins

Why that's the answer

The hold line and turn line are there for guidance when turning at an intersection. You stay to the left of the turn line, which keeps you clear of traffic turning the other way.
