A motorway direction sign shows a number on a black patch in one corner. What does that number identify?
The remaining distance in miles to the motorway's end
The motorway junction number✓Correct answer
The maximum number of lanes through the junction
The signed speed limit for the exit slip road
Explanation
The black corner patch identifies the relevant junction. A remaining distance is shown with its unit, while a speed limit appears in a separate roundel rather than as a bare number in that corner patch.
