This sign means?
- Motorcycles not permitted on this road
- Bicycle parking permitted here
- Bicycle parking not permitted on this road
- No bicycles allowed on this road ✓
Answer: D. No bicycles allowed on this road
This sign means no bicycles are allowed on this road.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's list of common regulatory signs includes “No bicycles allowed on this road,” and it explains that regulatory signs give a direction that must be obeyed. It also says a red circle with a line through it means the activity shown is not allowed. That supports the bank answer: the sign prohibits bicycles on the road. The passages do not connect this sign to motorcycles or to bicycle parking, so those readings add meaning the sign does not have.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Motorcycles not permitted on this road — The sign is about bicycles, not motorcycles, and no passage says motorcycles are barred by it.
- B. Bicycle parking permitted here — Bicycle parking is a different matter; the sign prohibits bicycles on the road rather than permitting parking.
- C. Bicycle parking not permitted on this road — The sign is not about parking bicycles; it states that bicycles are not allowed on the road at all.
Remember it
Treat a regulatory bicycle sign as a rule about what you must not do, not as a notice about parking facilities.
