Warning signs

Side road junction

A side road joins from the side shown on the sign.

Watch for vehicles entering or turning at the junction ahead. The warning alone does not establish which traffic has priority.

The United States’ W2-2R is a yellow diamond with a black junction diagram showing a road joining from the right. Australia’s W2-4-L uses a yellow diamond showing a side road on the left.

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.
