Decoding Road Signs: The True Meaning of the 'No Through Road' Symbol

Understanding road signs is crucial for every driver, and some signs frequently cause confusion. One such sign, often mistaken for a 'no entry' or T-junction warning, is the blue rectangular sign featuring a red horizontal bar and a white vertical bar. This sign, as explained by driving theory expert Annie from Theory Test Practice, actually indicates a 'no through road' or a cul-de-sac. Annie clarified that unlike a 'no entry' sign, which is always a red circle with a white horizontal bar, or a T-junction warning, which would be triangular, the blue rectangular sign serves as an informational sign. "It's telling you that the road you're about to drive into is a no through road, like a cul-de-sac, where you get to the end of the road, there's no more road," she explained. This distinction is vital for drivers to avoid unnecessary detours or confusion on the road.
