The answer options
- End of 20mph zoneCorrect
- New speed limit of 20mph
- No vehicles over 30 tonnes
- Minimum speed 30mph
Why that is the answer
This sign shows that you are leaving a 20mph zone. Diagonal cancellation marks across the number indicate that the restriction has ended. After passing this sign, check the road for new speed limit signs to ensure you drive at a legal and safe speed for the area ahead. A red-ringed sign without diagonal lines would show the start of a new limit, not the end.
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.
