Revision question · Band 2 traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge
You're driving in the left-hand lane of a three-lane dual carriageway. As you approach a junction, you see this sign on a gantry. What should you do if you wish to go straight ahead?
Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.
Answer options
Continue in the left-hand lane, as all three lanes carry on through the junction
Move across to the middle lane, as the left-hand lane leaves at the junction
Move across to the right-hand lane, as this is the only one that goes ahead at the junction
Straddle both the left-hand and middle lanes, as you're not sure which lane to use
Show the answer
Continue in the left-hand lane, as all three lanes carry on through the junctionThis was the right answer
This sign tells you that all lanes continue through the junction. Traffic leaving at the junction does so by using a slip road. There will normally be countdown markers before the slip road.
