The answer options
- Two way traffic over a bridge
- Two way traffic ahead
- Two way traffic crosses one way roadCorrect
- Two way traffic crosses a two way road
Why that is the answer
This warning sign alerts drivers on a one-way street that the road ahead crosses a two-way road. When you reach the junction, traffic will be moving in both directions, so you must look both left and right before joining or crossing. A common mistake is confusing this with the sign for two-way traffic ahead, which features vertical arrows rather than horizontal ones. The Highway Code uses these warning signs to help prevent junction collisions.
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.
