    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

    • No entry
    • No stoppingCorrect
    • Waiting restrictions apply
    • National speed limit applies

    Why that is the answer

    This circular sign with a red cross on a blue background means no stopping, indicating a clearway. You must not stop your vehicle here under any circumstances, including setting down or picking up passengers. Do not confuse this with the no waiting sign, which features a single diagonal red line and permits brief stops for passengers to get in or out.

    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.
