When you register with Al Khebra you will receive a 58 page manual which includes English and Arabic translations of the relevant rules of the road.
As a native english speaker I strongly advise against wasting your time trying to understand pages 8 - 14 of the current version of this book. That section fails miserably at attempting to explain what each traffic sign means but succeeds in confusing even native english speakers with knowledge of the meaning of the signs. You need to know those signs but I suggest you rely on our trusted friend, Google, to explain each sign, if you don't already know the meanings.
The most important section of that manual, for the purposes of the driving test, are page 25, if you don't know the significance of the various coloured lights on a traffic light and pages 26 - 29 are critical. From the moment you receive the manual start memorizing the "names of the road signs"!!
You must know what every sign is! Everyday make sure you go over the signs at least once per day until you have taken the test. To help you remember the signs pay attention to them when you are driving along the roads to and from your business.
The tutor I had, Isaac Mutashi, assisted his students in recalling by asking each student to identify a few of the road signs in each session of the theory class. One cannot emphasize the importance of memorizing the signs.
When studying the signs on Page 26 you only need to learn the words in open and closed brackets. Note that a few of the names of the signs on page 26 are not in brackets. I have highlighted the names below for ease of reference.
Examples of the Names of Road Markings on Page 26:
1. Beware of passby road
2. Overtaking allowed
3. Pedestrians crossing
4. Parking
5. No Parking
6. No Overtaking
7. Stop Line
8. Give Way Line
I was strongly advised to memorise these EXACT names for each road sign and give them back to the examiners as is! Remember, english is not everyone's native tongue and if you want to pass the test, the person administering this aspect of the test must understand what you are saying. So forget what you have always referred to these signs as and give the examiner what he wants. Your aim is to pass the test.
SIGNS YOU MUST KNOW FOR THE TEST ON PAGE 28
