What does this sign mean?
- A Stop only to pick up passengers
- B No stopping at any time
- C Stop only to set down passengers
- D No stopping at peak times
Why this is the answer
This traffic sign means no stopping on the main carriageway at any time, not even to set down passengers. However, you may stop in a lay-by.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Stop only to pick up passengers — Picking up is stopping, and the sign forbids stopping.
- C
- Stop only to set down passengers — Setting down is also stopping.
- D
- No stopping at peak times — There is no peak-time exception; the restriction runs at all times.

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.
