The answer options
- End of clearway restrictions
- No parking under any circumstances
- No parking on the days and times shownCorrect
- You may park on the days and times shown
Why that is the answer
This sign indicates waiting or parking restrictions that apply only during the specific days and times displayed on the plate. Outside these stated times, you are permitted to park unless other local restrictions apply. It does not mean no parking under any circumstances, as that would require a 24-hour restriction or a clearway sign. Always read local signage carefully to comply with Highway Code rules regarding parking and waiting.
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.
