Priority junction ahead

What it means

Warning: you are approaching a junction where you have priority. The thick line on the sign is your road, the thin lines are the side roads.

What it requires of you

You need not stop, but the sign is a warning and not a guarantee. Approach the junction at a speed that lets you react to someone who fails to see your priority.

Where it stands

Outside built-up areas, some distance before the junction.

How far it applies

Applies to the next junction only, not to the whole road.
