Questions Learners Have About One-Way & Special Turns

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising One-Way & Special Turns, including how questions match the official theory exam in Portugal, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Can I turn left from the leftmost lane of a one-way street in Portugal?

Yes, when turning left from a one-way street in Portugal, you should position your vehicle in the leftmost lane that allows you to make the turn, unless road markings or signs indicate otherwise. This is the correct procedure to prepare for your left turn.

What should I do if I accidentally enter a one-way street against traffic?

If you accidentally enter a one-way street against the flow of traffic in Portugal (indicated by a 'No Entry' sign), you must stop immediately. Reverse out only if it is absolutely safe to do so without endangering other road users. Otherwise, wait for assistance and do not proceed, as this is extremely dangerous and unexpected by oncoming drivers.

How do I determine the correct lane for turning at an unusual junction?

At unusual junctions, always look for road markings (setas de selecção) and traffic signs (sinais de obrigação) that indicate the permissible directions for each lane. In the absence of specific markings, follow the general rule of positioning your vehicle to the left for a left turn and to the right for a right turn, adapting to the geometry of the intersection.

Are there special rules for T-intersections or Y-intersections?

While general turning rules apply, T-intersections and Y-intersections in Portugal often require extra vigilance due to their unique geometry. Always yield to traffic as required by signs or general priority rules, and ensure your positioning allows you to complete the turn safely and without obstructing others. Adapt your speed and observe all road users carefully.

What is a 'non-orthogonal' street layout and how does it affect turning?

A non-orthogonal street layout refers to intersections where roads do not meet at a 90-degree angle. This can affect visibility and the trajectory of your turn. In such cases, you must adjust your speed, signal clearly, and ensure you have a clear view of conflicting traffic before proceeding, always adhering to priority rules and the Código da Estrada.
