What does the course of priority road subsidiary sign mean?

The "course of priority road" subsidiary sign is used to show how the priority road runs through an intersection. It is placed under signs such as "Yield", "Stop", or "Priority road" when it can be unclear which road has priority. The sign provides a schematic drawing of the intersection, with the priority road clearly marked, so that drivers know which road to follow. This is especially useful at complicated intersections where it can be difficult to understand the traffic rules just by looking at the main sign.

The sign helps drivers navigate safely through the intersection and avoid misunderstandings that could lead to dangerous situations. It is only used on existing roads where there is a need for extra clarity, and the design is adapted to the specific intersection.
