Editorial Policy

How we write the guides on this site and what you can expect from them.

Official sources first

Procedure guides are based on the General Traffic Department procedure pages and PDF documents. Each guide shows its source. Road-sign pages use the official sign sheets and their numbering.

We do not invent facts

If the GDT does not state a fee, a deadline or a requirement, we do not make one up. We say it is not listed. Where the GDT's English text is unclear, we quote its wording and tell you to confirm with the GDT.

Our own words

We rewrite and reorganise official text so it is easier to follow. Facts stay the same; the wording, structure, explanations and links are ours.

Updates

Guides carry the month they were compiled (October 2026). Rules change, so we revisit pages and correct them when we learn of a change. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.

Advertising

This site may show advertising. Advertising never decides what a guide says or recommends. See the privacy policy for how ads work.
