    What is meant by this sign?

    Illustration for the theory test question: What is meant by this sign?

    The answer options

    • No through road
    • No entryCorrect
    • No parking
    • Unmarked road ahead

    Why that is the answer

    This sign features a red circle with a horizontal white bar, which means no entry for any vehicle. Red circular signs give mandatory orders and prohibit specific actions. You will often see this sign at the end of a one-way street to prevent drivers from heading into oncoming traffic. Do not confuse this with a no through road sign, which is shown as a blue rectangle with a red T-shape.

    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.
