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.

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 134 questions covering road and traffic signs, with an explanation after every answer to reinforce the rule being tested. The motorcycle theory test blends every topic into a single 50-question paper — you need 43 correct answers to pass, so weak areas are quickly exposed. 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

Riders tend to do best when book study and saddle time reinforce each other, so try to review this topic soon after a lesson or CBT session while the experience is fresh. The Highway Code remains the primary source for every answer, and the official questions rarely stray far from it. As test day approaches, move on to full 50-question mock papers under the 57-minute time limit — they show whether a topic genuinely holds up once it is mixed in with all the others.
