DVSA Road Signs and Markings 4

Question 1

What do single white broken lines along the centre of the road mean?

Accepted Answer

You may cross the line to overtake if safe

Answer

A single broken white centre line separates traffic flowing in opposite directions. You may cross it to overtake if the road ahead is clear and it is safe to do so.

Question 2

What does a triangular sign showing two cars side by side (one red, one black) mean?

Accepted Answer

Two-way traffic crosses a one-way road

Answer

This warning sign alerts you that two-way traffic crosses ahead or that you are about to enter a road with two-way traffic. It is commonly seen when leaving a one-way street or dual carriageway.

Question 3

What does a green rectangular road sign indicate?

Accepted Answer

Primary route direction

Answer

Green background signs are used on primary routes (major A-roads) to show directions and distances. Motorways use blue signs, local routes use white, and tourist destinations use brown.

Question 4

What do short broken white lines across your side of the road at a junction mean?

Accepted Answer

Give way to traffic on the major road

Answer

Broken white lines across the road at a junction are 'give way' lines. You must give way to traffic on the major road before proceeding. If the lines were solid, it would be a 'stop' line and you must stop even if the road appears clear.

Question 5

A sign showing a red circle with a motorcycle inside it means what?

Accepted Answer

No motorcycles allowed

Answer

A red-bordered circular sign with a motorcycle symbol prohibits motorcycles from using that road or area. Red circles always indicate a prohibition or restriction.
