What is the meaning of this sign? DVSA-style practice question · Road and Traffic Signs ![Illustration for the theory test question: You are travelling through a tunnel and see this sign. What is the meaning of this sign?](/quiz-images/tunnel.gif) ## The answer options - No pedestrian footpath ahead - No pedestrian access - Direction to emergency pedestrian exit**Correct** - Beware of pedestrians crossing ahead ## Why that is the answer Green signs inside tunnels give location and directional information for emergency pedestrian exits and escape routes. If you break down or an emergency occurs, such as a fire, these signs guide you to safety. Green background signs always indicate safe routes or emergency equipment. Red circular signs show prohibitions like no pedestrian access, while warning signs are triangular. ## 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.
