- A Cyclists must dismount
- B Bicycles are not allowed

Why this is the answer

- A
- Cyclists must dismount — An instruction like that comes with words beneath it.
- B
- Bicycles are not allowed — A prohibition is a red circle with a bicycle inside.
- D
- Cycle in single file — No such sign exists.

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.
