What does this sign mean?
The answer is A. The red circle with a white horizontal bar means no entry for vehicles. You'll see it at the exit end of one-way streets and slip roads — driving past it puts you head-on into traffic.

Do you need to learn every road sign?
You need to read any sign from its shape, colour and symbol — circles give orders, triangles warn, rectangles inform. Road signs is the largest topic in the question bank, so browse every official sign with its meaning, then take the quiz.
