Lesson 6

Traffic controller signals

How to understand a controller’s body and arm signals without hesitation at an intersection.

Traffic controller signals

Traffic controller signals override traffic lights and road signs. The first habit is to notice the controller early and reduce speed.

Body position shows who must stop and who may proceed. Arm position clarifies directions, stopping and permission to move.

Many test mistakes happen between “go straight” and “turn right”. We explain this with simple diagrams so the answer is logical.

In real traffic, do not rush. If the signal is unclear, stop safely and wait for a clear instruction.

  • reinforce it with test questions
  • move the situation to a real Dnipro route
