Which sign means turn left ahead?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Why this is the answer
Blue circles tell you what you must do and this sign gives a clear instruction to turn left ahead. You should be looking out for signs at all times and know what they mean.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- — Three arrows in a circle is the mini-roundabout sign. You go round it rather than turn left at it.
- C
- — A single diagonal arrow means keep left — pass this side of an island. The road itself does not turn.
- D
- — Two diagonal arrows mean you may pass on either side of what is ahead, so neither direction is ordered.
