highway code
In order to drive a TME owned vehicle/ rental you must be in possession of a
Toyota Basic drivers’ license.
The highway code describes the rights and obligations of road users on the
public highway in Belgium. All road users are expected to know and apply this
highway code.
This online presentation will help you to prepare the Toyota Basic drivers’
training.
First you have to pass a theoretical test. As soon that you finished it
successfully you will be invited for a drive check on public road.
Good luck !

Road position

In traffic queues formed by 2 or more lines of vehicles in the same direction,
more than one queue is allowed, either in or outside of a built-up area
• Justified by heavy traffic • On a road with one way traffic whether or
not the road is divided into lanes
• On a road with two way traffic but
with at least 2 lanes in each direction • If there are traffic lights above the
carriageway (green arrows, red X-crosses)
which regulate in-lane traffic
Multi-lane carriageways
If the public highway is dived into lanes which are clearly
separated by a central reservation, then you may not
use the lane(s) to the left of the central reservation in your
chosen direction.
Traffic displacement areas
In general you must pass the yellow bollard, the central reservations and the curve
white lines that mark off a traffic displacement area to the right.
However a sign can oblige you to pass to the left.
On the other hand, a sign can allow you to pass to the left or to the right.
Bus lane
A road with a lane marked “BUS” :
Reserved for trams, (school)buses, taxis, emergency
vehicles.
Other drivers preselect this lane to turn off at the next
junction.
Special surface marked
“BUS” and “TRAM”
Reserved for buses and trams (& taxis if indicated).
Other vehicles may only cross these lanes at a junction or to drive
around an obstacle.
Traffic islands (at bus and tramstops)
Normally you must pass to the right.
Except “justified by the needs of traffic” or obligatory by
a traffic sign, you can pass to the left.
Priority
”Priority from the right”
• Each driver must give way to a driver approaching
from his right.
• At each junction without traffic signs or traffic lights the
“priority from the right” rule applies for all drivers, so
also for cyclists, mopeds, etc.
• A cycle lane or a continuous pavement may appear together, in which case the driver needing to cross
them, should give right of way to any road-users already on the pavement or the cycle lane.
“Priority from the right” does not apply at a junction of a hardened road with a dirt road.
Drivers approaching from a dirt road must give way to traffic on the hardened road.
Exception : traffic signs
Give way

• At a roundabout
you must give way to traffic which is already engaged on the roundabout when there is
an “upside down triangle or stop sign”
I can be possible at a roundabout that you have the right of
way to traffic which is already engaged on the roundabout
when there is no “upside down triangle or stop sign”
If there are traffic lights, the driver can ignore the signs.
If the lights are not working or flashing, the traffic signs must be respected.
Red - orange/ yellow - green arrows have the same meaning
as the usual tricoloured lights but only apply in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
Entering a junction : You must not enter a junction when you
can see that you will then have to stop and will obstruct crossing
traffic even if the lights are green or if you have priority
Sign (only for cyclists) :
When a cyclist arrives at a red or orange/yellow light, he may pass the
light and turn to the right but has to give way to the upcoming traffic
from the left
Manoeuvring

slide
There’s a difference between
a manoeuvre and a movement
A manoeuvre is an unusual movement which hinders normal
traffic flow such as :
- changing lanes
- crossing a road
- leaving or entering a parking place
- driving out of a private property
- making a “U”-turn
- reversing
There’s a difference between
a manoeuvre and a movement
If you intend making a manoeuvre you must first give way
to all other road-users.
There is only one exception to this rule whereby a vehicle
moving into traffic has priority :
a bus indicating it is leaving a bus stop, when in a built-up area.
Manoeuvres :
changing lanes crossing a road leaving or entering a
parking place
driving out of a private property making a “U”-turn reversing
Exception : A bus indicating
it is leaving a bus stop, when
in a built-up area makes no
manoeuvre.
You must give way.
There’s a difference between a
manoeuvre and a movement
There are 4 movements :
- Passing
- Overtaking
- Turning right
- Turning left
Passing
Not wide enough ?
- You may drive on the verge
- Do not obstruct other
road-users
An obstacle
- You must slow down
- Eventually stop to allow
oncoming traffic to pass
Exception : A tram
In general you pass to the right
You may pass only to the left if :
- The passage to the right is too narrow
- A parked vehicle is blocking passage to
the right
- A fixed obstacle (roadworks…) is blocking
the passage to the right
When passing to the left you may not
endanger oncoming traffic
Turning to the left :
Principle
- Pass any oncoming vehicle(s) also
intending to turn left at the right side
- However in actual fact drivers will often
pass in front of the oncoming traffic but this
calls for extreme caution
- Unless otherwise directed by road markings
Overtaking
Principle
- To overtake is to drive past another vehicle
on the same road and following the same
direction as yourself.
- Overtake on the left
Exception
- When a vehicle ahead of you moves over
to the left in order to turn left and has
made their intentions clear by the use of
their direction indicators you may
overtake on the right.
You may then use the verge (but no cycle
lane) without hindering other road-users.
A moving tram
must be
overtaken
on the right
A waiting tram :
if there is no traffic island
where the passengers are
getting on and off
you must stop and allow them
to get on and off in safety
You may pass to the left if :
- The passage to the right is too narrow
- A parked vehicle is blocking passage to the
right
- A fixed obstacle (roadworks…) is blocking
the passage to the right
- On a one-way street when there is heavy
traffic
When passing to the left you may not
endanger oncoming traffic
When are the definitions and rules on overtaking
not applicable ?
When you follow advanced
Parked or stationary vehicle traffic lanes
When you have a choice of When there is more than one
lanes in a built-up area queue of traffic
When and where is overtaking (on the left)
prohibited ?
Overtaking is prohibited in all
circumstances when it may
endanger other road-users
as when :
The visibility is bad or reduced
When crossing a speed bump
When and where is overtaking (on the left)
prohibited (unless cyclists) ?
At a
traincrossing
without
barriers or
traffic lights
At a junction
with priority
from the
right
At a junction
where there is
a traffic sign
telling you to
give way
If you are
coming out
from
a dirt road
If a vehicle has
stopped before a
crossing for
pedestrians or cyclists
and mopeds.
Even when you are
approaching a
crossing..
Turning right
Give way to
- Pedestrians crossing over the road
(even when there is no pedestrian
“zebra”-crossing)
- Following cyclists and mopeds
Turning left
In case of two-way traffic :
- Position yourself in time to the left, in order
to allow following traffic to overtake you on
the right
- It goes without saying that you may not
obstruct oncoming traffic, which has in
any case priority over you
- Make a wide turn to the left allowing you to
drive directly on the right of the road you turn
into
- Give way to pedestrians crossing over the
road (even when there is no pedestrian
“zebra”-crossing)
In case of one-way traffic :
- Position yourself as far as possible to the left
- It goes without saying that you may not
obstruct oncoming traffic, which has in any
case priority over you
- Make a wide turn to the left allowing you to
drive directly on the right of the road you turn
into
- Give way to pedestrians crossing over the
road (even when there is no pedestrian
“zebra”-crossing)
- Be aware that you may meet oncoming
cyclists and mopeds (indicated by a lower
sign)
