Introduction

This video provides a theory test revision for the 2025 driving test, focusing on motorway rules, signs, and signals. It covers topics such as lower speed limits due to roadworks, active traffic management, contraflow systems, and crawler lanes.

Key Takeaways

• Active Traffic Management (ATM): ATM uses the hard shoulder as an extra lane and variable speed limits to ease congestion and prevent traffic bunching. Red crosses indicate lane closures.
• Traffic Direction: Overhead gantries direct traffic flow, using arrows and red crosses to indicate lane closures or diversions due to incidents. Stopping on a motorway is only permitted under specific circumstances.
• Stopping on Motorways: Only stop if red crosses are displayed above all lanes, a police or traffic officer instructs you to, or you have an emergency (breakdown, accident).
• Contraflow Systems: Contraflow systems reverse the normal flow of traffic in one or more lanes, often due to roadworks. Signs clearly indicate these changes.
• Crawler Lanes: Crawler lanes are located on steep gradients and allow slower vehicles to travel separately, reducing congestion in other lanes.
