About This Sign
This sign warns that a road joins from the right. Be alert for vehicles entering or crossing from that direction.
Where you will see it
You meet this sign on a main road where a smaller road joins from the right. Vehicles may pull out or turn onto your road from that side.
What to do
- Watch the right side for vehicles entering your road.
- Slow down if a car looks ready to pull out.
- Be ready for vehicles that turn into the side road.
A common mistake
Drivers often keep looking only straight ahead. Because the side road joins from the right, a vehicle can appear suddenly, so check that side as you pass the junction.
What to remember for the test
Check which side the small line joins on. In this version the side road is on the right. The left version is a separate sign with the same warning.
