Y-junction / fork ahead
Warning signs

Y-junction / fork ahead

A Y-shaped junction or fork is ahead.

Slow down and check which branch follows your route. Watch for vehicles turning or approaching on the other arms of the junction.

The black Y-shaped diagram shows the approach road below two angled branches. It describes the junction layout and does not itself establish priority.
