You're driving on a motorway and you see this sign. What does it mean?
- A End of restriction
- B End of crawler lane
- C End of weight limit
- D End of hard shoulder
Why this is the answer
Look out for variable-message warning signs telling you about • lane closures • speed limits • hazards. When you're clear of the restriction, you'll see a sign telling you that it has ended.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- End of crawler lane — The end of a crawler lane is shown by a lane diagram.
- C
- End of weight limit — A weight limit ends where the restriction ends, signed in tonnes.
- D
- End of hard shoulder — The hard shoulder ending is shown by its own sign.

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.
