Practice question

What does a red circle with a diagonal slash across it indicate?

  1. No entry or do not enter.
  2. No parking or stopping.
  3. No left turn allowed.
  4. No U-turn allowed.

Answer: A — No entry or do not enter.

A red circle with a diagonal slash is typically used as a symbol for "prohibited" or "not allowed". A no entry or do not enter sign is typically used to indicate that a certain area is off limits and that entry is prohibited. The other options (B, C, and D) may also have a red circle with a diagonal slash, but they have different meanings. No parking or stopping means that you are not allowed to park or stop in a certain area. No left turn allowed means that making a left turn is prohibited and No U-turn allowed means that making a U-turn is not allowed on that particular road. In contrast, a red circle with a diagonal slash applied to a circle (like in this case) typically signifies a more general prohibition.
