Give way
Priority signs

Give way

Give way to traffic on the road you are entering, and stop if needed to let it pass.

Slow down and check for traffic before entering the junction. Stop if necessary to give way, using the give-way line where one is marked.

The Vienna Convention model B,1 is an inverted triangle with a red border and a white or yellow centre. Poland’s A-7 has a yellow centre and no lettering or symbol.

How it looks in each country

Official sign in each country; the code is its number in the national rules. Signs that come in two directions show the left and the right version.
