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.

End of priority road

The end of priority road sign marks that the road no longer has priority, and breaking the rules can lead to traffic hazards and fines.

Is the end of the priority road important for the theory test and the driving test?

Yes, it is important to know about the end of the priority road for both the theory test and the driving test, as you may encounter the sign during road challenges in both tests.

What is the end of the priority road?

The end of the priority road marks that a road that previously had right of way no longer has it. This sign is necessary to inform road users that the road continues as a regular road, and they must follow yield or stop rules at the intersection that follows.

When do you encounter the end of the priority road?

You will encounter the sign when you approach an intersection where the priority road ends. This typically happens at intersections with other roads that are not priority roads, or at roundabouts. The sign can also be placed on roads where the road changes character, for example in the city center.

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

If you don't follow the rules after the priority road has ended, you risk creating dangerous traffic situations, such as not yielding or stopping when necessary. This can result in fines, among other consequences.
