Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. No motor vehicles allowed
Regulatory signs use white backgrounds and black lettering. A red circle with a diagonal line always indicates 'NO' or 'NOT ALLOWED', and when placed over a car symbol, it means motor vehicles are prohibited.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. No U-turn signs typically show a U-turn arrow with the red circle and diagonal line.
- C. This sign specifically prohibits motor vehicles, not just parking.
- D. No passing zones are typically indicated by solid yellow lines or specific 'NO PASSING ZONE' signs.
