Phil - would one 'expansion' be answer 6, the wide bit at the top?
OK - maybe 3 is 'prepare to stop' - I was taught it was just stop but think more recently the 'prepare' answer has been mentioned in some context.

i thought amber was stop unless it dangerous to do so and the national speed limit was 65?

6. Yes BarryW, the triangle is upside-down.
3. That was one of the correct answers. It could be argued that GREEN is be prepared to stop! Anything else means stop, period.
You just need to expand on Q1, though you did pick up on the fact that there is more than one NSL.
Howard: You need a re-test!!! Or maybe an eye test!

surely... 1. is that all roads have a speed limit unless otherwise indicated by flashing signs, or signs by workmen which then reduce the limit...
Did i mention the theory test is multiple choice??!

The Answers:-
1. There is a whole chart in the Highway Code for different classes of vehicles and types of road and whether towing a trailer etc. A bit of a trick question in some ways. (Rule 124)
2. A yellow hatched area which you may not enter unless your exit is clear or you are turning right. You may also stop within it in an emergency or if instructed to do so. (Rule 174)
3. Amber on its own or red and amber together mean exactly the same as red - STOP. You can prepare lunch if you like! (No specific rule but there is a page of diagrams)
4. Amber studs denote the right side of the carriageway, red denotes the left side, with white studs demarking the lanes. Entry and exit ramps or lay-bys are denoted by green studs. (Rule 132)
5. It is 6-sided.
6. Unlike all other triangular signs this one is upside down.
