In a post on Reddit, the person shared a photo of the sign which attracted a lot of commentary.

The snap shows a blue circle with a red outline and cross through it.

So do you know what the road sign means?

In the post, the tourist wrote: "Been driving around the UK for the last few weeks… Wtf is this sign?"

It is a "no stopping" sign which means you're not even allowed to halt for a short amount of time or pick up passengers.

Loads of people did make fun in the post, as one wrote: "Denotes an area where it's illegal to film an adult movie."

Another joked: "X-Men nearby."

However others were more helpful, as one said: "No stopping."

According to the Highway Code, if you ever see this sign you're not allowed to stop under any circumstance.

Even if it's for a short period to pick or drop someone off, it's not forbidden when the sign is visible.

If you do happen to stop in this zone, you can be hit with a fixed penalty notice, so it's worth bearing in mind.

And it's not the first time some people were stumped by a road signs.

Recently, a motorist claimed "99% of drivers" can't work out what one simple road sign means.

A user took to Reddit to say how annoyed they were with people's lack of understanding.
