Questions Learners Have About Priority from the Right

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Priority from the Right, including how questions match the official theory exam in Portugal, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the 'priority from the right' rule in Portugal?

In Portugal, the 'priority from the right' rule (prioridade da direita) states that at an intersection without any other traffic signs, signals, or road markings, vehicles approaching from your right must be given priority.

When does 'priority from the right' NOT apply in Portugal?

The rule does not apply when there are specific priority signs (like STOP or Give Way), traffic lights, roundabouts, or when a vehicle is exiting a private property, parking lot, or a non-public road. Special vehicles also have priority under certain conditions.

How do I identify an unmarked intersection for the Portuguese driving exam?

An unmarked intersection is one where there are no traffic signs (like priority signs, STOP, or Give Way), no traffic lights, and no road markings indicating priority. In such cases, the default rule of priority from the right applies.

Is courtesy the same as legal priority at intersections?

No, courtesy (cortesia) is not the same as legal priority. While it's always good to be courteous, you must always follow the legal priority rules to ensure safety and avoid penalties, especially for your driving theory exam.

Does priority from the right apply in roundabouts in Portugal?

No, priority from the right does not apply *within* roundabouts. Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout have priority over vehicles wishing to enter, as per specific roundabout rules in Portugal (Artigo 14.º-A do Código da Estrada).
