Where would you expect to see these road markings?
- A At the entrance to a car park
- B On the approach to an arched bridge
- C At the start of a cycle lane
- D On the approach to a lifting barrier
Why this is the answer
High vehicles are often directed to the centre of the road to go under an arched bridge. Check that your vehicle does not exceed the height restriction indicated. Plan your route in advance to avoid any bridges that your vehicle will not be able to clear.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- At the entrance to a car park — A car park entrance is marked by signs and bays, not by lines across the lane.
- C
- At the start of a cycle lane — A cycle lane starts with a cycle symbol and a solid line along the road.
- D
- On the approach to a lifting barrier — A lifting barrier is announced by lights and a barrier, not by these markings.

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.
