UK Motorcycle Theory Test Road Signs & Markings 2

Question 1

A sign showing a red ring with a bicycle inside and a motorcycle crossed out means:

A red prohibition circle containing both a bicycle and motorcycle symbol prohibits both cycles and motorcycles from entering that road or area.

Question 2

Road studs (cat's eyes) with red reflectors on the left side of the road indicate:

Accepted Answer

Hard shoulder or edge of the carriageway

Red road studs mark the left edge of the carriageway (nearside) — riding towards red studs means you are close to the edge of the road and potentially the hard shoulder or verge.

Question 3

A sign with the number 20 in a red circle means:

Accepted Answer

Maximum speed of 20 mph — this is a mandatory speed limit

A number within a red circle is a mandatory maximum speed limit; 20 mph zones are increasingly common in residential and urban areas, applying equally to motorcycles.

Question 4

What road marking warns of a 'give way' junction ahead?

Accepted Answer

Two broken white lines across the road accompanied by triangle markings on the approach

Answer

Double broken white lines across the road at a junction, often with triangular road markings on the approach, indicate a give way requirement at the junction ahead.

Question 5

Green studs on a motorway mark:

Accepted Answer

The edges of slip roads and lay-bys — separating the main carriageway from entry/exit points

Answer

Green reflective road studs mark the boundaries of lay-bys and slip roads, helping riders distinguish between the main motorway carriageway and areas for entering or leaving.
