This sign means?
- No bicycle riding beyond this point ✓
- Bicycle parking permitted here
- Bicycle parking not permitted on this road
- Motorcycles not permitted on this road
Answer: A. No bicycle riding beyond this point
The sign means no bicycle riding beyond this point, so bicycles are not allowed past that sign.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's list of common regulatory sign messages includes "No bicycle riding beyond this point." That wording tells you the restriction starts at the sign and applies to the road ahead of it, not to a parking activity. The signs chapter explains that you read a sign by its shape, colour and the message printed on it, so the message on this sign is the thing to focus on: riding a bicycle past that point is not permitted. Nothing in the passages gives this sign any other meaning.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Bicycle parking permitted here — The passages list this message as a prohibition on riding past the sign, and they never describe a sign that grants bicycle parking.
- C. Bicycle parking not permitted on this road — The wording restricts riding beyond the point where the sign stands; it says nothing about parking bicycles along the road.
- D. Motorcycles not permitted on this road — The message named in the handbook is about bicycles, and motorcycles are not mentioned in connection with this sign anywhere in the passages.
Remember it
Read the words "beyond this point" as a starting line, not the whole road: the ban begins where the sign stands.
