ICBC British Columbia Written Exam Practice Test 2025

How can you identify a one-way street?

1. Street signs will be illuminated

2. Cars will be parked on both sides

3. Look for signs indicating one-way traffic

4. All vehicles will move in the same direction

The correct answer is: Look for signs indicating one-way traffic

Identifying a one-way street is primarily done by looking for signs that explicitly indicate one-way traffic. These signs are strategically placed to inform drivers of the directional flow of traffic, helping to prevent confusion and ensuring safety on the roads. The presence of these signs is a clear signal to drivers that they must only travel in the direction indicated. Although illuminated street signs may sometimes be present, their illumination does not specifically denote a one-way street. Cars parked on both sides do not provide reliable information about the flow of traffic, as they can exist in areas with two-way traffic as well. While vehicles moving in the same direction can be an indicator of a one-way street, relying solely on this observation can lead to mistakes, especially if the direction of movement is not clearly marked. Thus, the most reliable method for identifying a one-way street is by looking for clearly posted signage indicating the traffic rules for that road.
