Found on a UK learning to drive website suggesting you test your knowledge of road signs by looking for the odd ones out.


Look carefully. Can you spot ALL the weird signs?

Well, it did help that they're highlighted....

I took it as being a trick question.

Some of the blue backgrounds look a bit light and the speed limit font might be different.
The P on the No Parking sign font looks thinner than I remember the UK font being. It's a while since I've seen one though.
Road Closed font is thinner.
Soft verge is for RHS driving maybe?
Priority sign, two vertical arrows, the UK one has arrows of different sizes.
No overtaking sign is for RHS driving.
Miniroundabout ditto.
Children warning sign?
No entry sign bar is thinner
Person on zebra crossing is going from right to left not left to right? We've got a zebra crossing but there's no warning signs that I remember noticing. I'll check.
Lorry signs usually have a weight on them?

It would certainly have been a trick question for any learner attempting to hone their UK road sign knowledge, since there are a number of signs that apply - as you say - to driving on the wrong side of the road...

As well as the roundabout and priority signs, the queue ahead sign is also stacked the wrong way and the no overtaking sign shows the red car on the wrong side. We don't have a round (P) no parking sign either, that I'm aware of.

You brought it back from New Zealand, didn't you?

'No motor vehicles' sign has a line separating car & motorcycle. Sign for car going off the road doesn't exist in UK, does it? Going off a quayside, yes, but that's different.

Third in bottom right. Is he having a shit?

Hope not... they mostly (you have to watch out for the Chinese tourists in campers) drive on the same side of the road as us

Good spots - you're right!
