Road And Traffic Signs Practice Questions

The largest topic in the test, with questions on warning signs, orders in red circles, blue instruction signs, motorway and direction signage, road markings and signals given by police officers and other drivers. Shape and colour carry meaning — once you learn the pattern, unfamiliar signs become easy to decode. Large-vehicle drivers also need the signs that apply only to them: weight, height and width limits and lorry route markings.

What the DVSA tests here

• The difference between circular, triangular and rectangular signs
• Road markings: centre lines, hatched areas, box junctions and stop lines
• Signals from police officers, traffic officers and school crossing patrols

Practising this topic

You can work through 85 questions covering road and traffic signs, with an explanation after every answer to reinforce the rule being tested. The LGV and PCV multiple-choice exam runs to 100 questions with a pass mark of 85, drawing on every module in the vocational syllabus. Once your score settles above the pass threshold, move on to a timed mock test to check the topic holds up under exam pressure.

In the run-up to test day

Professional drivers usually revise around shifts, which makes short, focused sessions the practical choice: a module like this one can be reviewed in fifteen minutes at the start or end of a working day. Treat exact figures — weights, hours, pressures and speed limits — as facts to memorise rather than rules of thumb, because the exam tests them precisely. Once the module feels secure, fold it into 100-question mock papers so your accuracy holds across the full hour and fifty-five minutes of the real test.
