What does this sign mean?
- A No vehicles over 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) wide
- B No vehicles over 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) high
- C Road humps 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) apart
- D No vehicles over 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) long
Why this is the answer
Always be aware of the height of the vehicle you're driving, particularly if you drive different vehicles. If you use a sat-nav, it may show you the height and weight limits on UK roads.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- No vehicles over 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) wide — A width limit is shown between two arrows pointing inwards.
- C
- Road humps 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) apart — Road humps have their own warning sign.
- D
- No vehicles over 14 feet 6 inches (4.4 m) long — A length limit shows a vehicle outline with the dimension along 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. 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.
