Questions Learners Have About Main Road Priority

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

What does the 'Hauptstrasse' sign mean in Switzerland?

The 'Hauptstrasse' (3.03) sign indicates that you are on a main road and have priority over traffic from side roads that do not have other specific priority signs. It's usually placed at the start of a main road and repeated at junctions.

When does main road priority end in Switzerland?

Main road priority ends when you encounter the 'Ende der Hauptstrasse' (3.04) sign. After this sign, the general rule of 'priority-to-the-right' (Rechtsvortritt) applies again at unmarked intersections.

How do I know if the main road changes direction at an intersection?

If a main road changes direction, the 'Hauptstrasse' (3.03) sign will typically be accompanied by a supplementary panel (Zusatztafel 5.09) showing the main road's course with a thicker line. Vehicles following this main road's direction maintain priority.

Are there exceptions to main road priority for vulnerable road users?

Yes, while on a main road, you generally have priority. However, specific situations and road markings might require you to give way to vulnerable road users like pedestrians, especially at marked crossings or when turning. It's crucial to always be attentive and yield when necessary for safety.
