A1Difficulty 3/5

You are riding a motorcycle. The circular signal controlling your traffic is red, while a separate signal with a cycle silhouette is green. What must you do?

Correct answer

Stop for the red signal controlling the motorcycle.

Obey the red signal controlling your traffic and stop before its preceding stop line or, if none exists, before the signal. If the signal stands within or beyond the junction, do not enter the junction. Lights displaying a cycle silhouette apply exclusively to cycles; they do not authorise a motorcycle to proceed or extend this rule to mopeds.
