What does this sign mean?
- A Tramway speed limit
- B Distance to level crossing
- C Maximum passenger capacity
- D Goods-vehicle weight limit
Why this is the answer
Trams are becoming increasingly common in large towns and cities, as the move to more environmentally friendly transport continues. They may either cross the road you're driving on or share it with you. Always be aware of their virtually silent approach, and look out for places where you may be required to give way to them.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- Distance to level crossing — A distance to a crossing is shown by countdown markers.
- C
- Maximum passenger capacity — Passenger capacity is a matter for the vehicle, not a road sign.
- D
- Goods-vehicle weight limit — A weight limit is shown in tonnes inside a red ring.

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.
