Question 1

What does a round blue sign showing '30' (without a red border) mean?

Accepted Answer

Minimum speed 30 mph — you must ride at least this fast

Answer

A round blue sign with a number (no red border) indicates a minimum speed limit. You must travel at a speed of at least 30 mph unless it is unsafe to do so. The end of a minimum speed limit is shown by the same sign with a red diagonal line through it.

Question 2

What does a brown rectangular sign typically indicate?

Accepted Answer

Tourist attraction or place of interest with directional information

Answer

Brown rectangular signs provide directions to tourist attractions, places of historical interest, leisure facilities, and other visitor destinations. They use white text and pictograms on a brown background.

Question 3

What does a circular sign showing a red car and a black motorcycle side by side with a red border mean?

Accepted Answer

No motor vehicles — the road is closed to all motorised traffic

Answer

This circular prohibition sign means no motor vehicles of any type are permitted. This typically applies to pedestrianised zones, certain park roads, and paths reserved for cyclists and pedestrians only.

Question 4

What does an inverted red triangle sign (point facing down) mean?

Accepted Answer

Give way to traffic on the major road — be prepared to stop if necessary

Answer

The inverted triangle (yield sign) means give way to traffic on the road you are joining. You must slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary. On a motorcycle, particular care is needed as reduced grip may affect braking at the junction.

Question 5

What does a square blue sign showing a white 'P' indicate?

Accepted Answer

Parking area available — check for motorcycle-specific parking provisions

Answer

A blue 'P' sign indicates a parking area. Motorcyclists should check for dedicated motorcycle parking bays, which may offer anchor points for locks. Additional plates may show restrictions on times, durations, or charges.
