Many drivers have encountered a road sign they recognize instantly, yet still find themselves second-guessing what it actually means. A recent online discussion in the UK highlighted this familiar uncertainty, focusing on a sign that looks deceptively simple: a white circle with a single black diagonal stripe running across it.Although it frequently appears on the driving theory test, a surprising number of motorists admitted they weren’t fully confident about its meaning once they were out on the road. The sign marks the beginning of the national speed limit, which replaces any previously posted limit. Its plain design can make it easy to misinterpret, especially when drivers expect speed signs to clearly display numbers.
