Road and traffic signs

On a direction sign, a blue background tells you the route leads to what?

A motorway
Correct
A primary route
A small local road
A dead end

Why?

Direction signs are colour-coded by the type of road. A blue background (white letters) points the way to a motorway. This lets you pick your route quickly, even at speed. The Highway Code's traffic signs section explains these direction-sign colours.
