Question 357 in the bank

How should one pass a structure or a post that obstructs a two-way road?

  1. Correct answer: Pass it on the right, unless otherwise indicated by a signpost.
  2. Pass it from the left only.
  3. Pass it according to the road’s condition.
  4. You may pass the obstruction from either side.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Pass it on the right, unless otherwise indicated by a signpost.

In Israel traffic keeps to the right, so a structure or post in the middle of a two-way road is passed on its right side. This keeps you in your own half of the road and out of the path of oncoming traffic. If a sign shows a different direction, follow the sign. Passing on the left, or choosing a side by your own judgement, risks a head-on collision.
