Match each regulatory road sign description to its corresponding legal restriction or mandatory requirement under the UK Highway Code.
- Circular sign with a red border containing black silhouettes of a motor car positioned above a motorcycleProhibits all motor vehicles from entering or proceeding along the road
- Circular sign with a red border and a diagonal red slash across a black right-turning arrowProhibits vehicular traffic from making a right turn at the approaching junction
- Circular sign with a red border showing dimension measurements between two vertical inward-pointing black arrowsProhibits vehicles exceeding the indicated maximum height from proceeding
- Circular sign with a white background and a single thick black diagonal stripe running across from top-right to bottom-leftIndicates the end of a specific restriction and that national speed limits apply
Answer
The sign with a car above a motorcycle matches prohibition of all motor vehicles; the sign with a slashed right arrow matches no right turn; the sign with vertical inward arrows and measurements matches maximum vehicle height restriction; and the white sign with a diagonal black band matches national speed limits apply.
In the UK Highway Code and TSRGD, red circular signs convey mandatory prohibitions: the car and motorcycle symbol legally bans all motor vehicles, the slashed right arrow forbids right turns, and the inward vertical arrows dictate enforceable vehicle height limits. The white circle with a black diagonal band indicates the end of a local restriction where national speed limits apply.
