What does this sign mean?
- A Route for trams
- B Give way to trams
- C Route for buses
- D Give way to buses
Why this is the answer
Take extra care when you encounter trams. Look out for road markings and signs that alert you to them. Modern trams are very quiet and you may not hear them approaching.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- Give way to trams — Giving way is shown with a triangle and the words.
- C
- Route for buses — A bus route shows a bus.
- D
- Give way to buses — Again, that would be a give-way sign with a bus on it.

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.
