    What is meant by this sign?

    DVSA-style practice question · Road and Traffic Signs

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

    The answer options

    • No motor vehicles
    • Two-way traffic
    • No priority
    • No overtakingCorrect

    Why that is the answer

    A red circle gives a mandatory instruction not to do something. This sign features a red car next to a black car, which means you are prohibited from overtaking other motor vehicles. You must remain in your lane until you pass a sign indicating the restriction has ended. A red triangle with arrows warns of two-way traffic, while a red circle containing both a car and motorcycle means no motor vehicles.

    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.
