K53 Questions on Regulatory Signs
Straight from the question bank, with the answer and the reason it is correct.
A SPEED LIMIT sign has a selective restriction plate beneath it showing only a motorcycle symbol. What does this combination mean?▼
A SELECTIVE RESTRICTION plate placed beneath a regulatory sign indicates the sign applies ONLY to the class of vehicle shown. A motorcycle symbol beneath a speed limit means that speed limit applies TO MOTORCYCLES ONLY. Other vehicles are governed by the standard speed limit for that road.
What does this sign mean — an octagonal red sign with the word "STOP"?▼
The STOP sign (octagonal, red) requires a complete stop at the stop line. You must stop regardless of whether traffic is present, check for safety, then proceed.
A triangular sign with a red border and a white background pointing upwards — what does it mean?▼
The YIELD (Give Way) sign is an inverted triangle with a red border. You must give way to all traffic on the road you are entering.
What does a round red sign with a white horizontal bar in the centre mean?▼
The NO ENTRY sign (round, red, white horizontal bar) means entry to this road is prohibited. You must not drive past this sign.
