Highway Code signs test

Post by T.C. »

A bit of fun for you

How much do you know?

10 signs

I will confess to being a smart arse and say I got 10/10 without cheating :) ;)

I'm disappointed that the second one doesn't have the option "no stunts"

10/10...ill admit 1 of them was a guess albeit a fairly obvious one as its not one Ive ever seen before
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

9/10.
I got the train crossing one wrong.
I can't actually believe, in this day and age, that there is really such thing as a railway crossing without barriers.???
-Bogus sign.! May as well have one for Beware of wild Dodos.

LOL, well that's my only excuse shot down in flames mate.

I stand by by concerns though, the thought of an unprotected train line is rather alarming IMHO. :^

9/10 but only because the flying bike sign is used in my area to denote a bus and taxi access only, hence my mistake, (Last time I looked they have motors so are technically Motor Vehicles).

Have to say I’ve worked at some very sensitive locations including airports and the City of London Financial square mile and have never seen the Firework car sign!

10/10 I would hope so the Tim will spend looking at them. Never seen the push bike one though, normally the sign is no vehicles, and .then a blue bikes sign.

Never seen the car explosion sign ever! I would like to know where it is :)

Usually found around the approaches to long tunnels, but not that common.

i got 9/10 and I hadn't seen ANY of those signs before... but I have picked up clues from this thread and other tidbits you guys have mentioned over the years.

I though roads signs where supposed to be universal?
