The answer options
- Tourist attractionCorrect
- Level crossing on the left
- Trams at the left
- Trains to the left
Why that is the answer
Brown road signs are used throughout the UK to direct drivers to tourist attractions, facilities, and places of interest. A symbol showing a steam train on a brown background indicates a preserved or tourist railway. Warning signs for standard level crossings or main railway stations use different colours, such as red-bordered triangles or blue and white direction signs, rather than tourist brown.
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.
