    What is meant by this sign?

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

    The answer options

    • No entryCorrect
    • No parking
    • No road markings ahead
    • No through road

    Why that is the answer

    This red circle with a horizontal white bar means no entry for all vehicles. The Highway Code shows this sign at the end of one-way streets or exit slip roads to stop drivers entering against the flow of traffic. Circular signs with red borders give orders that must be obeyed. Do not confuse this with a no parking sign, which is circular with a blue background and a red diagonal cross or bar.

    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.
