This sign indicates that a junction controlled by either a 'Stop' or 'Give Way' line is approaching, giving you time to reduce your speed.
Important Facts
- This sign features a blank inverted triangle frame with a distance plate below indicating how far ahead the control line is.
- If the line ahead is a 'Stop' line, the word 'STOP' will be explicitly printed on the distance plate.
- It provides advanced warning on high-speed or restricted-visibility roads so you can slow down progressively.
Common Mistakes
- Failing to look for the specific distance plate or text below the triangle frame.
- Approaching too quickly and being forced to brake harshly at the upcoming control line.
- Assuming a complete stop isn't required when the sub-plate specifically dictates a 'Stop' line ahead.
