Junction ahead controlled by a STOP or GIVE WAY
junction-ahead-controlled-by-a-stop-or-give-way sign

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.
