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.

Priority road

The sign indicates that drivers approaching from a side road or crossing road must give way under sign 202 'Yield' or 204 'Stop'. The sign applies until it is canceled by sign 208 'End of priority road' or sign 202 'Yield' or sign 204 'Stop'. In lanes marked with sign 531 'Acceleration lane', however, the traffic rules for driving in such lanes apply.

Is the priority road sign important for the theory test and the driving test?

Yes, the priority road sign is one of the most important traffic signs you must understand for both the theory test and the driving test. It marks roads with priority and requires you to know the rules for yielding.

What is the priority road sign?

The priority road sign is a yellow, diamond-shaped sign with a black border that indicates the road you are driving on is a priority road. This means crossing traffic must yield to you. The sign is often placed before the intersection to inform about priority.

When do you encounter the priority road sign?

You encounter the priority road sign in areas where it is necessary to clarify traffic priority, often on main roads, at entrances to built-up areas, and at complex intersections. The sign ensures smooth traffic flow by reducing doubt about yielding rules.

What happens if you don't obey the priority road sign?

If you don't obey the priority road sign, you can create dangerous situations such as traffic accidents. Failure to comply can lead to a fine, loss of your driver's license, and increased insurance costs. It is therefore essential to understand and follow this sign.
