You want to park and you see this sign. What should you do on the days and times shown?
- A Park in a bay and not pay
- B Park on yellow lines and pay
- C Park on yellow lines and not pay
- D Park in a bay and pay
Why this is the answer
Parking restrictions apply in a variety of places and situations. Make sure you know the rules and understand where and when restrictions apply. Controlled parking areas will be indicated by signs and road markings. Parking in the wrong place could cause an obstruction and danger to other traffic. It can also result in a fine.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Park in a bay and not pay — The bay is there, but so is the charge.
- B
- Park on yellow lines and pay — Paying does not buy you a yellow line.
- C
- Park on yellow lines and not pay — Yellow lines mean a waiting restriction, whatever you pay.

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.
