What does this sign mean?
- A No parking for solo motorcycles
- B Parking for solo motorcycles
- C Passing place for motorcycles
- D Police motorcycles only
Why this is the answer
In some towns and cities there are special areas reserved for parking motorcycles. Look out for these signs.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- No parking for solo motorcycles — A prohibition would carry a red ring or a cross. This sign is permitting, not forbidding.
- C
- Passing place for motorcycles — Passing places are found on single-track roads and are signed quite differently.
- D
- Police motorcycles only — Nothing on the sign restricts it to the police.

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.
