At a junction, you see this sign partly covered by snow. What does it mean?
- A Crossroads
- B Give way
- C Stop
- D Turn right
Why this is the answer
The 'Stop' sign is the only sign that's octagonal. This helps you to recognise it even when the wording cannot be seen.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Crossroads — Crossroads is a triangular warning sign and would look quite different under snow.
- B
- Give way — Give way is an inverted triangle, which is why the shapes are kept distinct.
- D
- Turn right — A turn instruction is a blue circle with an arrow.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites.
