    What does this sign mean?

    DVSA-style practice question · Road and Traffic Signs

    Illustration for the theory test question: What does this sign mean?

    The answer options

    • End of clearway
    • End of restricted speed area
    • End of cycle route
    • End of restricted parking areaCorrect

    Why that is the answer

    This sign shows that you are leaving a restricted parking area or controlled parking zone. Beyond this point, the special parking restrictions shown on the entry signs no longer apply, and standard waiting or loading rules return. It is easily confused with the end of a clearway, but a clearway sign prohibits all stopping, whereas a restricted parking zone specifically controls where and when you can park or load.

    How this comes up in the real test

    Questions from road and traffic signs appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.

    The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
