Motorway signs and signals quiz
Blue signs, countdown markers and the signals over the lanes. Ten questions a go, flashcards to learn them first, and every sign below with what it means.
Motorway signs have a blue background. The signals on gantries and beside the road can advise a speed, close a lane or send traffic off at the next junction.
Flashcards
See the sign and say what it means, then turn it over. Any you did not know come round again.
