What does this sign mean?
- A Contraflow bus and cycle lane
- B With-flow bus and cycle lane
- C No buses or cycles
- D Priority to buses or cycles
Why this is the answer
Some lanes are set aside for certain types of vehicle. Signs and road markings show the authorised vehicles in words or pictures. There's usually also a sign showing the times that the lane is in operation. Some lanes might only be in operation for a short time. Check the sign and only use the lane if you're allowed to do so.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Contraflow bus and cycle lane — A contraflow lane runs against the traffic and is signed with an opposing arrow.
- C
- No buses or cycles — A blue sign permits rather than prohibits.
- D
- Priority to buses or cycles — The sign marks a lane for their use, not a general priority.

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.
