Question 1Regulatory Signs

Under Ghana's road sign system, regulatory signs are primarily distinguished from warning signs by which characteristic?

  1. They give advance notice of a hazard ahead
  2. They mark tourist attractions and facilities
  3. They impose a legal requirement or prohibition on road users Correct answer.
  4. They provide route and destination information

Explanation

Regulatory signs tell road users what they must do or must not do, and disobeying them is a traffic offence. Warning signs alert drivers to hazards ahead, while information signs guide and inform. The legal force of the instruction is what separates a regulatory sign from the other classes.

Question 2Regulatory Signs

A circular sign with a red border and a white background containing no symbol generally means:

  1. No waiting at any time
  2. All vehicles must stop
  3. The road ahead is closed to pedestrians
  4. No entry for all vehicles Correct answer.

Explanation

A plain white disc with a red ring is the no-entry prohibition, barring vehicles from proceeding past the sign. It is a prohibition sign, so it applies to vehicular traffic generally. Any symbol inside the red ring would narrow the prohibition to that class of road user.

Question 3Regulatory Signs

On a Ghanaian road, a red octagonal sign bearing the word STOP requires a driver to:

  1. Stop only when another vehicle is approaching
  2. Come to a complete halt and give way before proceeding Correct answer.
  3. Stop only during peak traffic hours
  4. Slow down and continue if the road looks clear

Explanation

The octagonal STOP sign is the only sign shape reserved for this instruction, and it demands a full stop at the stop line or junction edge. The driver must then yield to traffic and pedestrians before moving off. Rolling slowly past the sign without halting is an offence.

Question 4Regulatory Signs

A driver approaching a YIELD (give way) sign must:

  1. Sound the horn and proceed without slowing
  2. Give priority to traffic on the road being joined and stop only if necessary Correct answer.
  3. Wait until the junction is completely empty of pedestrians
  4. Always stop completely before entering the junction

Explanation

The give-way sign requires the driver to let traffic on the priority road pass, stopping only when the situation demands it. Unlike a STOP sign, a complete halt is not mandatory when the way is genuinely clear. Failing to give priority when traffic is present is an offence.

Question 5Regulatory Signs

A blue circular sign showing a white arrow pointing straight ahead indicates that:

  1. The road ahead is a one-way street for oncoming traffic
  2. Vehicles must proceed only in the direction of the arrow Correct answer.
  3. Vehicles may turn left if the road is clear
  4. There is a compulsory parking area ahead

Explanation

Blue circular signs give positive instructions, and an arrow inside one tells the driver the only permitted direction of travel. The obligation is mandatory rather than advisory. Turning against the arrow would breach the instruction.

Question 6Regulatory Signs

A circular sign with a red border showing the numeral 50 means that:

  1. The distance to the next town is 50 km
  2. The recommended speed is 50 km/h
  3. The minimum permitted speed is 50 km/h
  4. The maximum permitted speed is 50 km/h Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-ringed circle carrying a number is a speed-limit prohibition sign, and in Ghana speeds are posted in kilometres per hour. Exceeding the figure is an offence enforceable by the police. A minimum-speed sign would appear as a blue circle.

Question 7Regulatory Signs

A red-ringed circular sign showing a black car and a red car side by side prohibits:

  1. Entry of heavy goods vehicles
  2. Parking of motor vehicles
  3. Driving in the left-hand lane
  4. Overtaking by motor vehicles Correct answer.

Explanation

The paired-car symbol inside a red ring is the no-overtaking prohibition, barring motor vehicles from passing one another on that stretch. It is typically placed where visibility or road width makes overtaking unsafe. The sign applies to overtaking manoeuvres, not to parking or entry.

Question 8Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign containing a black diagonal bar across a blue background. This sign indicates:

  1. No parking or no waiting, depending on the bar arrangement Correct answer.
  2. End of all restrictions on the road
  3. A pedestrian crossing zone
  4. A compulsory stop ahead

Explanation

Blue discs with a red ring and a red diagonal bar are the parking and waiting control signs. One bar means no parking, while a crossed pair of bars means no waiting or stopping. Drivers must read the bar arrangement carefully before leaving a vehicle.

Question 9Regulatory Signs

At a junction controlled by a red traffic light together with a green filter arrow pointing left, a driver intending to turn left should:

  1. Proceed in any direction, because a green signal is showing
  2. Proceed left, because the green arrow permits that movement Correct answer.
  3. Wait, because the red light overrides the arrow
  4. Reverse away from the junction and find another route

Explanation

A green filter arrow authorises the movement it indicates even while the main aspect is red, provided the driver yields to any traffic already lawfully in the junction. The arrow does not permit movements other than the one shown. Waiting is unnecessary when the arrow is lit for the intended direction.

Question 10Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a junction where a traffic officer stands with arms extended horizontally sideways. What does this signal require?

  1. Only pedestrians must stop
  2. Traffic from the officer's left may proceed without checking
  3. Traffic approaching from the front and rear must stop Correct answer.
  4. All traffic must proceed immediately

Explanation

An officer with arms stretched sideways is stopping traffic approaching from the front and from behind the officer. Traffic coming from the sides is being allowed through. Drivers must obey the officer's signal even where it differs from the light or sign.

Question 11Regulatory Signs

A red-ringed circular sign shows a motorcycle above a car. What does this sign prohibit?

  1. Overtaking by motorcycles only
  2. Entry of all motor vehicles
  3. Use of the road by learner riders
  4. Entry of motorcycles Correct answer.

Explanation

When a specific vehicle symbol appears alone inside a red ring, the prohibition applies to that class of vehicle. A motorcycle symbol therefore bars motorcycles from entering. A sign banning all motor vehicles would show a car symbol or the word for all vehicles.

Question 12Regulatory Signs

A rectangular blue sign showing a white pedestrian symbol on a crossing indicates:

  1. A pedestrian crossing where drivers must give way to people on foot Correct answer.
  2. A school where children may never cross
  3. A pedestrian zone where vehicles have absolute priority
  4. A footpath closed to all pedestrians

Explanation

Blue rectangular signs with a pedestrian symbol mark a designated crossing point. Drivers must slow down and give way to pedestrians using the crossing. The sign informs drivers of the facility and imposes a duty of care towards those on foot.

Question 13Regulatory Signs

A driver passes a circular sign with a red border showing a truck and a red diagonal bar. This means:

  1. Heavy goods vehicles must reduce speed to 40 km/h
  2. Heavy goods vehicles may park on the verge
  3. Heavy goods vehicles must use the left lane
  4. Heavy goods vehicles are prohibited from proceeding Correct answer.

Explanation

A vehicle symbol inside a red ring, with or without a diagonal bar, is a prohibition applying to that vehicle class. The truck symbol with a bar therefore bans goods vehicles from the route. Speed limits and lane instructions use different sign formats.

Question 14Regulatory Signs

A driver wishes to turn right at a junction but sees a blue circular sign with a white arrow curving left only. What is the correct action?

  1. Proceed straight ahead instead
  2. Turn left, since that is the only direction the sign permits Correct answer.
  3. Stop and wait for the sign to change
  4. Turn right after checking for oncoming traffic

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a single arrow imposes a mandatory direction of travel, so only the arrowed movement is lawful. The driver must follow the arrow even if the intended route differs. Ignoring a mandatory direction sign is a traffic offence.

Question 15Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circle containing the word STOP beneath an octagonal sign at the same post. What is the combined effect?

  1. A full stop is required before entering the junction Correct answer.
  2. A stop is required only if traffic is present
  3. The driver may proceed without stopping because two signs cancel out
  4. The driver must stop only when a pedestrian is waiting

Explanation

Where a STOP sign is reinforced by a red-ringed supplementary plate, the obligation to halt remains absolute. The plate does not soften the requirement into a give-way. The driver must stop at the line and then proceed only when safe.

Question 16Regulatory Signs

A driver on a dual carriageway passes a red-ringed circular sign showing the numeral 80 with the word END beneath it. What does this convey?

  1. The 80 km/h restriction has ended and the national limit applies Correct answer.
  2. The road is closed 80 metres ahead
  3. The driver must reduce speed to 80 km/h
  4. The minimum speed is now 80 km/h

Explanation

An END plate beneath a restriction sign cancels that restriction from the point of the sign. Once past it, the driver reverts to the default limit for that road type. The sign does not impose a new speed but removes the previous one.

Question 17Regulatory Signs

A red-ringed circular sign shows a black arrow bending sharply to the left with a red diagonal bar across it. What does it prohibit?

  1. Turning right at that point
  2. Reversing into the side road
  3. Proceeding straight ahead
  4. Turning left at that point Correct answer.

Explanation

A red-ringed sign showing a direction arrow with a bar through it prohibits that specific manoeuvre. The barred left-bending arrow therefore forbids a left turn. The prohibition applies only to the movement shown, not to other directions.

Question 18Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a junction where the traffic lights are out of order and a STOP sign is displayed on the approach. What is the correct course of action?

  1. Wait indefinitely for the lights to be repaired
  2. Proceed through the junction without stopping because the lights are off
  3. Obey the STOP sign and give way before entering the junction Correct answer.
  4. Treat the junction as an uncontrolled crossroads with no priority rules

Explanation

When signals fail, the fixed signs and road markings govern the junction. A STOP sign at the approach therefore requires a full halt and a check for priority traffic. Drivers must not assume the failure removes their obligations.

Question 19Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a bus, with a supplementary plate reading 'Except for access'. How should the driver interpret this?

  1. Only buses may use the road
  2. Buses are prohibited except when gaining access to premises on that road Correct answer.
  3. Buses may use the road at all times without restriction
  4. The restriction applies to all vehicles except buses

Explanation

The symbol inside the red ring identifies the class being prohibited, here buses. A supplementary plate qualifies the prohibition by allowing an exception, in this case access to premises. Without the plate the ban would be absolute for buses.

Question 20Regulatory Signs

A driver passes a blue circular sign showing a white bicycle. What obligation does this sign impose?

  1. Motor vehicles must give way to cyclists only at night
  2. Cyclists are prohibited from the route
  3. Cyclists must dismount and push their bicycles
  4. Cyclists must use the route indicated, and other vehicles must not obstruct it Correct answer.

Explanation

A blue circular sign with a bicycle symbol designates a compulsory route for cyclists. Other road users must not obstruct or drive along a route reserved in this way. The sign is mandatory for cyclists rather than prohibitive.

Question 21Regulatory Signs

A driver is unsure whether a red-ringed sign showing a horn with a bar through it applies on a quiet rural road at night. What is the correct position?

  1. The prohibition applies only in built-up areas
  2. The prohibition applies only during the day
  3. The prohibition applies only to heavy vehicles
  4. The prohibition on sounding the horn applies at all times on that road Correct answer.

Explanation

A prohibition sign applies continuously unless a supplementary plate states a time or condition. The barred horn symbol therefore forbids horn use on that stretch at all hours. Drivers may not assume an unstated time limit.

Question 22Regulatory Signs

A learner driver approaches a red-ringed circular sign showing the numeral 30 and a supplementary plate reading 'Zone'. What does this indicate?

  1. The 30 km/h limit applies only at the sign itself
  2. The limit applies only during school hours
  3. The limit applies only to learner drivers
  4. A 30 km/h limit applies throughout the zone until an end-of-zone sign Correct answer.

Explanation

A zone plate extends the posted limit to every road within the designated area, not just the point where the sign stands. The restriction remains until a sign marks the end of the zone. Drivers must therefore keep to 30 km/h throughout.

Question 23Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a pedestrian with a bar through it on a road with no footway. What does the sign mean?

  1. Pedestrians must walk on the left-hand side
  2. Pedestrians have priority over vehicles
  3. Pedestrians are prohibited from using that road Correct answer.
  4. Pedestrians must cross only at marked points

Explanation

A barred pedestrian symbol inside a red ring is a prohibition barring pedestrians from the route. Such signs appear where walking would be dangerous, for example on certain high-speed roads. The sign does not create a priority or a crossing rule.

Question 24Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a junction where a traffic officer faces the driver with the right arm raised vertically. What should the driver do?

  1. Proceed immediately because the officer is facing the driver
  2. Turn right without checking
  3. Sound the horn and continue slowly
  4. Stop and remain stopped until the officer signals otherwise Correct answer.

Explanation

A raised arm from a traffic officer is a stop signal directed at the traffic facing the officer. The driver must halt and wait for a further signal before moving. Officer signals override lights and signs at the junction.

Question 25Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a rectangular sign with a red border reading 'NO THROUGH ROAD'. How should this affect route planning?

  1. The road is closed to traffic in both directions
  2. The road ends ahead with no exit for vehicles Correct answer.
  3. The road leads to a motorway junction
  4. The road is reserved for residents only

Explanation

The no-through-road sign warns that the route terminates and does not connect to another road for vehicles. Drivers intending to pass through should choose another route. It does not close the road to those with business along it.

Question 26Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a circular sign with a red border containing a black arrow pointing straight ahead. What does this sign require of the driver?

  1. Proceed straight ahead only Correct answer.
  2. Turn left ahead only
  3. Stop before the sign
  4. Give way to oncoming traffic

Explanation

In the Ghanaian regulatory system, a blue circular sign gives a positive instruction, but a red-ringed circle imposes a prohibition or restriction. An arrow inside such a sign tells the driver the only direction permitted at that point. Here the straight arrow means the driver must continue straight ahead and may not turn off.

Question 27Regulatory Signs

At a junction a driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black arrow curving to the right, with no bar through it. What does this sign mean?

  1. Overtaking on the right allowed
  2. Right turn prohibited
  3. Right turn permitted ahead Correct answer.
  4. Road bends to the right

Explanation

A circular sign with a red border and a plain arrow indicates a mandatory direction of travel, not a prohibition. The arrow curving right tells the driver that turning right is the permitted or required movement. A bar drawn across the arrow would be needed to show a prohibition.

Question 28Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a red-ringed circular sign showing the numeral 60 with a red diagonal bar through it. What does this sign indicate?

  1. A 60 km/h minimum speed applies
  2. Heavy vehicles must keep to 60 km/h
  3. A 60 km/h limit begins here
  4. The 60 km/h limit has ended Correct answer.

Explanation

A speed-limit sign in a red circle sets a maximum, and a diagonal bar through the numeral cancels that restriction. The sign therefore marks the end of a 60 km/h zone, after which the national or local default limit applies. Drivers should then look for any sign showing the new limit.

Question 29Regulatory Signs

A driver enters a built-up area and passes a red-ringed circular sign showing the numeral 50. What is the driver's legal obligation?

  1. Maintain at least 50 km/h
  2. Not exceed 50 km/h Correct answer.
  3. Sound the horn at 50 km/h
  4. Reduce speed to 50 km/h only at night

Explanation

A numeral inside a red-ringed circle is a maximum speed limit, expressed in kilometres per hour on Ghanaian roads. The driver must keep the vehicle at or below 50 km/h until a sign shows a different limit or the restriction ends. It is a ceiling, not a target or a minimum.

Question 30Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing two black arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down, side by side. What does this sign indicate?

  1. Overtaking by heavy vehicles permitted
  2. No entry for oncoming vehicles
  3. Two-way traffic ahead Correct answer.
  4. Give priority to oncoming vehicles

Explanation

Opposing arrows in a circular sign warn that traffic will flow in both directions on the carriageway ahead. The driver must keep to the left and be prepared to meet oncoming vehicles. This commonly appears where a one-way section ends.

Question 31Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a red-ringed circular sign showing a white horizontal bar across a red background. What does this sign mean?

  1. Road closed to pedestrians only
  2. No entry for vehicular traffic Correct answer.
  3. Stop and wait for a gap
  4. End of a one-way street

Explanation

The red circle with a white horizontal bar is the no-entry sign, telling drivers they must not proceed past it. It is typically placed at the exit of a one-way street or a restricted access point. Entering would put the driver against the lawful flow of traffic.

Question 32Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black motorcycle with a red diagonal bar across it. What does this sign prohibit?

  1. Motorcycles from overtaking cars
  2. Motorcycles from using the road Correct answer.
  3. Motorcycles from exceeding 50 km/h
  4. Motorcycles from carrying passengers

Explanation

A vehicle symbol inside a red-ringed circle with a diagonal bar prohibits that class of vehicle from the road or route. The motorcycle symbol with the bar therefore bans motorcycles entirely from that stretch. Riders must use an alternative route.

Question 33Regulatory Signs

A driver towing a trailer sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a car with a trailer and a diagonal bar. What should the driver do?

  1. Take an alternative route without the trailer Correct answer.
  2. Continue but keep to the left lane
  3. Detach the trailer before proceeding
  4. Reduce speed to 30 km/h

Explanation

A barred symbol of a car towing a trailer prohibits vehicles with trailers from the road ahead. The driver cannot lawfully proceed while towing, so the correct action is to use another route. Detaching the trailer at the roadside is not a practical or intended solution.

Question 34Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black bus and a red diagonal bar. Which road user is prohibited from proceeding?

  1. All private cars
  2. Lorries above three tonnes
  3. Buses, including passenger service vehicles Correct answer.
  4. Taxis carrying passengers

Explanation

The barred bus symbol restricts the vehicle type depicted, meaning buses are not permitted past the sign. Other vehicle classes are controlled by their own signs, not by this one. A bus driver must therefore divert.

Question 35Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a pedestrian with a diagonal bar. On a road with a footway alongside, what does the sign mean?

  1. Pedestrians must not cross within 100 metres
  2. Pedestrians are prohibited from the carriageway Correct answer.
  3. Pedestrians must use the footway
  4. Pedestrians have priority at the next crossing

Explanation

A barred pedestrian symbol prohibits pedestrians from the carriageway at that location, usually because a safer route exists nearby. Drivers should still exercise care, since the restriction does not remove their duty to avoid collisions. The sign does not create a pedestrian priority.

Question 36Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a bicycle with a diagonal bar. What does this mean for cyclists?

  1. Cyclists must give way to cars
  2. Cyclists are prohibited from that route Correct answer.
  3. Cyclists must ride in single file
  4. Cyclists must dismount and push

Explanation

A barred bicycle symbol prohibits cycling on the road or path ahead. Cyclists must find another route, and where a shared facility exists they may need to dismount. The sign does not impose a formation or priority rule.

Question 37Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a horse and rider with a diagonal bar. Who is affected by this sign?

  1. Horses may proceed but must keep left
  2. Horses may proceed only at walking pace
  3. All horse-drawn and ridden animals are banned
  4. Only ridden horses are banned Correct answer.

Explanation

The symbol on a regulatory sign restricts the class of traffic it depicts, so a barred ridden horse bans ridden horses from that route. Horse-drawn vehicles are a separate class and are controlled by their own signs. Drivers should not treat the sign as a speed instruction for animals.

Question 38Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black and red car side by side with no bar. What does this sign indicate?

  1. Cars must not enter this road
  2. No overtaking except by motorcycles
  3. Overtaking by cars is prohibited Correct answer.
  4. Cars must keep a two-second gap

Explanation

Two car symbols side by side inside a red circle signify a ban on overtaking, because the sign depicts one vehicle passing another. The driver must stay behind the vehicle ahead until the restriction ends. A bar is not needed for this particular prohibition.

Question 39Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black lorry with a red diagonal bar and a supplementary plate reading 'Except for access'. How should the driver of a lorry delivering nearby proceed?

  1. Proceed, because access to premises on the route is allowed Correct answer.
  2. Stop and wait for a police officer
  3. Use the route only after 6 pm
  4. Reverse to the nearest junction

Explanation

The barred lorry symbol bans lorries from the route, but a supplementary plate can qualify a prohibition. 'Except for access' permits a lorry whose journey is genuinely for reaching premises on that road. A lorry merely using the road as a shortcut is still banned.

Question 40Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black car and a red diagonal bar, with a supplementary plate reading 'Except taxis'. Which statement is correct?

  1. Only taxis may use the route
  2. The plate applies only to private cars
  3. Taxis are also banned from the route
  4. Taxis are exempt from the prohibition Correct answer.

Explanation

The plate modifies the prohibition by naming a class of vehicle that is exempt from it. Here the barred car symbol bans cars generally, but taxis may still proceed. All other cars remain prohibited.

Question 41Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black arrow pointing left with a supplementary plate reading 'One way'. What does this combination tell the driver?

  1. The road to the left is closed to cars
  2. Left turn is prohibited ahead
  3. Oncoming traffic has priority
  4. Traffic must proceed in the direction of the arrow only Correct answer.

Explanation

A plain arrow in a red-ringed circle gives a mandatory direction, and the plate confirms the road operates one way. The driver must travel in the direction shown and must not turn against it. Entering against the arrow would be a dangerous offence.

Question 42Regulatory Signs

A driver approaches a red-ringed circular sign showing a black arrow curving left with a red diagonal bar through it. An alternative right turn exists. What should the driver do?

  1. Turn left after stopping
  2. Sound the horn before turning left
  3. Not turn left and use the permitted route Correct answer.
  4. Turn left and then make a U-turn

Explanation

A bar drawn across a direction arrow cancels that movement, so turning left at this point is prohibited. The driver must obey the restriction and use a permitted route such as the right turn. Stopping or signalling does not make a prohibited turn lawful.

Question 43Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a blue circular sign showing a white arrow bending to the right. What does this sign require?

  1. Turn right ahead is prohibited
  2. Keep right of the obstacle or island Correct answer.
  3. Right turn is permitted but optional
  4. Road narrows on the right

Explanation

A blue circle gives a positive instruction, and an arrow bending right directs traffic to pass on the right-hand side of an obstruction or island. The driver must follow the indicated side. It is not a warning about road width.

Question 44Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a blue circular sign showing a white bicycle and a white pedestrian side by side on a shared path. What does the sign mean?

  1. The path is for cyclists and pedestrians only Correct answer.
  2. Cyclists must give way to pedestrians at all times
  3. Pedestrians are prohibited from the path
  4. Cyclists may use the path only at night

Explanation

A blue circular sign with two symbols designates a route for the classes shown and excludes motor traffic. Both cyclists and pedestrians may use the path, and each should show consideration for the other. The sign does not by itself settle priority at every point.

Question 45Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing the numeral 30 with a supplementary plate reading 'Zone'. What does this mean?

  1. The limit applies only to heavy vehicles
  2. The 30 km/h limit applies only on this street
  3. A 30 km/h limit applies throughout the area until it is cancelled Correct answer.
  4. The limit applies only during school hours

Explanation

The word 'Zone' on the plate extends the speed limit beyond the single sign to the whole area entered. The 30 km/h maximum remains in force on all streets within the zone until a sign cancels it. Drivers should not assume the limit ends at the next junction.

Question 46Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing two children with a diagonal bar, placed outside a school. What is the effect of this sign?

  1. Children must be accompanied by an adult
  2. Drivers must not exceed 20 km/h
  3. School buses may not stop there
  4. Children are prohibited from the carriageway at that point Correct answer.

Explanation

A barred symbol of children prohibits children from the carriageway at that location, typically where a safer crossing or footpath is provided. It is not a speed limit and does not impose an escort requirement. Drivers should still watch for children nearby.

Question 47Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black tractor with a diagonal bar. What does this sign prohibit?

  1. Agricultural vehicles from using the road Correct answer.
  2. All vehicles from exceeding 20 km/h
  3. Slow vehicles from overtaking
  4. Tractors from towing trailers

Explanation

The barred tractor symbol bans agricultural vehicles from the route, usually where their slow speed would be unsafe. Other vehicle classes are not affected by this particular sign. A tractor driver must therefore avoid the road.

Question 48Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black handcart with a diagonal bar. Which road user is prohibited?

  1. Cyclists pushing bicycles
  2. Persons propelling handcarts Correct answer.
  3. Motorcycle couriers
  4. Pedestrians carrying loads

Explanation

The sign depicts a handcart, so it bans people from propelling handcarts along that road. Cyclists and motorcyclists are covered by their own vehicle symbols. Pedestrians carrying loads are not the same as a handcart and are controlled separately.

Question 49Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black arrow pointing straight ahead with a red diagonal bar through it. What does this sign mean?

  1. Give way to oncoming traffic
  2. Turn back at the next junction
  3. Road works ahead
  4. No entry ahead for traffic from this direction Correct answer.

Explanation

A bar across a direction arrow cancels that movement, so proceeding straight ahead is prohibited. The driver must not continue past the sign in that direction and should follow a permitted route. It does not by itself warn of road works.

Question 50Regulatory Signs

A driver sees a red-ringed circular sign showing a black arrow pointing straight ahead with a supplementary plate reading 'Except buses'. What does this combination mean?

  1. Buses are also prohibited from proceeding
  2. The exemption applies to all large vehicles
  3. Only buses may proceed straight ahead
  4. Buses are exempt from the prohibition on proceeding straight Correct answer.

Explanation

The barred arrow prohibits the movement for general traffic, and the plate names buses as the exempt class. Buses may therefore continue straight ahead while other vehicles may not. The exemption is limited to the class named on the plate.
