Rules and Regulations
Traffic rules are the backbone of safe driving in Israel — right-of-way, speed limits, signalling and lane discipline. This category makes up the largest share of the official question bank.

About this topic
Traffic rules are the heart of the theory test, and the part you put into practice on every single drive. The topic governs who goes first: right of way at junctions and roundabouts, overtaking and when it's forbidden, matching your speed to the type of road and the conditions, correct lane use, parking and stopping, and how to behave around pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles. These are the rules that let thousands of drivers share the same road without colliding.
Mastering this topic is about logic, not memorising. You need to know who yields to whom when there's no traffic light — by sign, by road markings, and by the give-way-to-the-right rule; how to enter and leave a roundabout; when overtaking is dangerous or banned, such as near a junction or a pedestrian crossing; how to choose a lane and signal a turn in good time; and where parking and stopping are not allowed. That logic is exactly what prevents crashes at junctions, the most dangerous point on the road.
With Move you practise traffic rules on their own, so you can drill the exact point that trips you up — say roundabout priority or overtaking rules. Every question carries a clear explanation that teaches the logic behind the rule, not just the right letter, and the smart review queue brings back the situations you got wrong until they stick. The readiness meter shows when you're solid on the topic, and you can study in Hebrew or any of six languages.
Frequently asked questions
What does the traffic-rules topic cover?
Think of it as three kinds of rule. Priority rules — who goes first at a junction, a roundabout or when merging. Positioning and movement rules — which lane to take, when to signal, keeping to the right, and matching your speed to the road and visibility. And interaction rules — keeping your distance, pedestrian crossings, and when you may stop or park. It all comes down to the live decision of what to do now — not what's drawn on the sign (that's the road-signs topic) or how the car is built (vehicle knowledge). On Move each of these is its own practice unit.
What are the most common mistakes on traffic rules?
The biggest one is right of way — especially at junctions without a traffic light and inside roundabouts, where drivers get confused about who enters and who waits. Overtaking where it's banned and changing lanes without yielding are also frequent slips. Many people fail because they guess by feel instead of applying a clear rule. On Move the explanation after each question shows exactly which rule applies, so next time you recognise the situation instead of guessing.
How do I remember the right-of-way rules?
Instead of memorising a list, learn the order of priority: first a police officer's directions, then the traffic light, then the sign, then the road markings, and only last the general rule of giving way to the right. Once that order is clear, most situations solve themselves. Repeated practice of junctions and roundabouts on Move, with a picture for each case, builds that automatic recognition — exactly what you need in the test and on the road.
How are traffic rules tested, and can I study in my language?
The questions are multiple-choice, and many describe a situation — a junction, a roundabout or an overtaking scene — and ask you to choose the correct behaviour. That's why understanding the logic matters more than memorising. Move shows the questions and explanations in six languages — Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, English, French and Spanish — so you can learn the rules in your mother tongue and also practise in Hebrew to get used to how the test is worded.
