Welcome to Unit 4, where you'll master the critical priority rules governing Danish intersections, pedestrian crossings, and roundabouts. Understanding right-of-way is fundamental to safe driving and is a key component of your Category B theory test. This unit will equip you with the knowledge to navigate these complex situations confidently.
Browse all lessons that make up Priority Rules, Pedestrian Crossings, and Roundabouts. Each lesson focuses on specific topics, learning objectives, and core concepts, helping you build essential knowledge and follow a clear, structured progression toward your study goals in Denmark.
This lesson explains the critical Danish concept of unconditional priority and how it determines right-of-way at various intersections. You will learn to recognize the hierarchy of priority roads through signs and markings, and understand your obligation to yield to other traffic. The material provides practical examples to help you apply these essential rules correctly in everyday driving scenarios.
This lesson provides detailed guidance on navigating pedestrian crossings (fodgængerfelter) and areas with high cyclist traffic. It clarifies your legal obligation to stop for pedestrians at zebra crossings and the proper speed to approach these zones. A central theme is understanding the rights of vulnerable road users and how to yield safely to them in accordance with Danish traffic law.
This lesson offers a step-by-step guide to navigating roundabouts in Denmark. You will learn how to approach and enter a roundabout, the requirement to yield to circulating traffic, and how to select the appropriate lane for your intended exit. Special attention is given to safely managing interactions with cyclists and pedestrians who may be present at roundabout entrances and exits.

'Ubetinget vigepligt' translates to unconditional priority, meaning you must always yield to traffic from the right at junctions where no other signs or rules dictate otherwise. This is a fundamental rule in Denmark and is frequently tested. It is crucial to remember that this rule applies unless specific signs like 'stop' or 'give way' (vingt) indicate otherwise, or if other priority rules are in effect.
Pedestrians have absolute priority when they are on or about to step onto a pedestrian crossing. Drivers must always yield to pedestrians at these designated areas. This includes waiting if a pedestrian is already crossing or clearly intending to cross. Always approach pedestrian crossings with caution and be prepared to stop.
When approaching a roundabout, you must typically yield to traffic already in the roundabout, especially if there are 'give way' signs. Always signal your intention to enter and while inside the roundabout. Use your indicator to signal when you intend to exit. Be mindful of cyclists who may also be using the roundabout or adjacent paths.
While dedicated cycle paths often run alongside pedestrian crossings, cyclists generally do not have the same unconditional priority as pedestrians on the main pedestrian crossing itself. However, drivers must be aware of cyclists and exercise caution, especially if the cycle path crosses the road. It's always best to err on the side of caution to ensure everyone's safety.
Misunderstanding or incorrectly applying priority rules is a common reason for failing the theory test. The test includes many questions on right-of-way at intersections, roundabouts, and concerning pedestrians. Mastering these rules is vital for exam success and for safe everyday driving.
Yes, if a roundabout is controlled by traffic lights, the signals take precedence over standard roundabout rules. You must obey the red, yellow, and green lights. Always check for specific signage or signals that may alter the standard priority rules for roundabouts in Denmark.
