The answer options
- Turn left to park
- No through road on the leftCorrect
- Turn left for ferry
- Do not turn left
Why that is the answer
This rectangular blue sign indicates a junction with a no through road on the left. The red bar shows that the left turn leads to a dead end with no outlet for through traffic. You are still permitted to turn left if you require access to a property. It is an informative sign, unlike a red circle which would prohibit you from turning left.
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.
