Have you wondered why major junctions have diagonal yellow lines? This is called box junction   Box Junctions  Large intersections are marked with a large yellow box with diagonal squares. this is known as a box junction. it is to indicate to drivers that they must not block the intersection when traffic is heavily congested. Signs will warn drivers not to queue across the intersection. You can see Stop Line, Pedestrian Crossing and Box Junction in this diagram below.

Driving License Experience - Karla Agno

  I took my lessons in belhasa al wasl branch. I think it's a good idea to take the lessons in the main branch because it's easier to get familiar with the roads there. They have highways, residential roads, and a few roundabouts. In my experience, when I had my assessment and final road test, the road we used are the same ones as in the lessons. So, it was quite easy.   I came in at 7am to the center in preparation to my exam (which was scheduled 7:30). I took the seat behind the driver's seat which gave me the chance to drive second. When it was my turn, I made sure my left side was clear before driving. Remember to check your mirrors and shoulder as you do so and remember to turn off the hazard signal before u signal left.   When the road was clear, I drove off. It's important to remember that in the highway, you have to pick the pace up otherwise you will have a hard time changing lanes. I made sure I was showing the examiner that I was checking my mirrors an...

My learnings First learning was indicator optional for the luxury cars such as Lexus, Range Rover, Land Cruiser. You may feel sarcastic I know. But the drivers here know better. Another one was the left most lane or speed lane is not for me. if I accidentally step into that lane some vehicle can come from nowhere and start flashing and tailgating.
