Warning signs

What do right-of-way and priority signs look like?

This group of signs is special because the signs vary widely in shape and colour.
A unique feature of three of these signs — the yield sign, the stop sign and the priority road sign — is their distinctive shape, which sets them apart from all other signs. This makes them easy to recognise even from the back.
As the name suggests, the signs in this group regulate when you must yield, and to whom.

Is the yield sign important for the theory test and the driving test?

Yes, the yield sign is very important both for the theory test and the driving test. It is essential to understand what the sign means and how it affects traffic flow, as this is often part of the assessment in traffic situations.

What is the yield sign?

The yield sign is a triangular sign with the point facing downward, usually with a red border and a yellow or white background. It signals that the driver must give way to all crossing traffic. It is often used at entrances to larger roads and in roundabouts.
