This plate is used with which sign?

Why this is the answer

The white circular sign with a red border and no symbol means 'no vehicles', including ridden bicycles. It's always used with a plate: mostly 'no vehicles', but occasionally 'play street'. Exemptions and times of operation may also be shown on the plate.

Why the other answers don't fit

A
— The car with a motorcycle above it bans motor vehicles, which still lets cycles and horses through.
B
— A car on its own bans motor cars and leaves solo motorcycles out altogether.
D
— No entry stops you coming in from this direction rather than banning vehicles from the road.

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. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
