Know your traffic signs

Identifying traffic signs is a major component of the theory test and being familiar with road signs is vital to your journey planning and awareness on the roads.

Hover over the signs to see what they are used to indicate

Entry to 20mph limit area.

These limits are in place for a reason! Narrow roads with cars parked closely together can be particularly dangerous with the danger of children running out in front of your car.

By slowing to this lower speed will give you a much better chance of reacting and is proven to lower fatalities.


End of 20mph area


Max speed in this area

This will indicate the speed limit for the stretch of road you are currently driving on and could indicate 30, 40 or 50 mph.


National speed limit applies

The actual speed limit will depend on the type of road you are on eg. single or dual carriageway, motorway etc.

You need to be aware of the various limits which you will find in highway code.


School patrol crossing

Wherever you see signs indicating the presence of children you should be extra vigilant as they are more likely to act unpredictably e.g.. running out in to road without looking.


Stop and give way


Give way to traffic on major road


Manually operated temporary STOP and GO signs. These will normally be seen at temporary road works but can be used in other circumstances too and should be obeyed as you would normal traffic lights.


No entry for vehicular traffic


No vehicles except bicycles being pushed


No motor vehicles


No buses

This refers to any vehicle with 8 or more passenger seats so includes smaller vehicles too


No overtaking

These signs are often used on accident hotspots where the road may look clear but overtaking is dangerous because of hidden side roads etc.


No towed caravans


No vehicles carrying explosives.

Don't laugh! This isn't one you'll see everyday but probably more relevant then you may think as it refers to anything that may explode e.g. gas canisters.

This sign is sometimes found at tunnel entrances where explosions could cause the structure to be compromised.


No vehicle or combination of vehicles over length shown
