Question:

I'm an American asking a question about UK road signs; any help would be great!?

by | earlier

My friend and her family are bicycling thru Europe over the next 15 months and right now they are in the UK. She has a question about a road sign: It is a blue circle with a red circle around the edge and a red X through it. What does that mean? Thanks!

It means the signwriter stayed in the pub too long at lunchtime.

It means "no stopping"

It's normally seen on major roads, and means you cannot park there, or stop to load/unload your vehicle.

Not sure!!! but a sign with an x thru it nomally means the road is a national speed limit road which is 60miles per hour!

Which I have just been informed as I thought the limit was 70 naughty me, I must slow down!

This means No stopping but I think you can stop in an emergency and if you break down you will not be fined Hereford and Worcester area is very good for site seeing tell them.

It means no stopping at any time - you usually see it on a motorway or duel carriageway. x
