What does this sign mean?
- A Contraflow cycle lane
- B With-flow cycle lane
- C Bicycles and buses only
- D No bicycles or buses
Why this is the answer
Usually, a picture of a bicycle will also be painted on the road, and sometimes the lane will have a different coloured surface. Leave these areas clear for cyclists and do not pass too closely when you overtake.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Contraflow cycle lane — A contraflow lane is signed with arrows pointing opposite ways.
- C
- Bicycles and buses only — That would show a bus as well as a bicycle.
- D
- No bicycles or buses — A prohibition is a red circle.

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.
