Road and traffic signs

Keep left

You see this blue sign in the middle of the road. What does it mean?

  • Turn left at the next junction
  • No left turn
  • Keep to the left of the obstruction
    Correct
  • There is a left bend ahead

Why?

A blue circle gives a mandatory instruction. The arrow pointing down to the left means keep left, telling you to pass to the left of a traffic island or obstruction. Rule 109 of The Highway Code says you must obey signs giving orders.
