    The speed limit on the main carriageway reduces to 30 mph ahead.
  3. You are approximately 300 yards from the start of the exit slip road.Cevap
  4. D
    You must immediately move across into the lane nearest the central reservation.

Cevap

The sign indicates that you are approximately 300 yards from the start of the exit slip road.
On UK motorways, countdown markers are placed at 100-yard intervals leading up to an exit. A blue rectangular sign featuring three diagonal white stripes indicates that the start of the exit slip road (deceleration lane) is roughly 300 yards ahead. Subsequent signs with two stripes and one stripe appear at 200 yards and 100 yards respectively, giving drivers adequate warning to position themselves correctly in the left-hand lane.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the type and location of the sign
Recognised as a standard UK motorway countdown marker sign positioned on the verge preceding an exit.
Countdown markers are placed at set intervals on the approach to motorway junctions to help drivers gauge distance.
2
Interpret the number of diagonal stripes
Three diagonal stripes correspond to a remaining distance of 300 yards (each stripe denotes 100 yards).
Motorway countdown signs appear sequentially at 300 yards (3 bars), 200 yards (2 bars), and 100 yards (1 bar) before the deceleration lane begins.
