On approaches to junctions, which warning sign would you expect?

• A. A triangular warning sign showing a crocodile crossing
• B. A warning sign showing a junction ahead
• C. A circular sign indicating a speed limit
• D. A rectangular sign indicating no left turn

Answer: (B)

Warning signs alert you to hazards ahead, and on approaches to a junction you’d expect a triangular warning sign showing a junction ahead. In the UK, these warning signs have a red border and tell you to slow down and be ready for traffic joining from the side roads or changing priority, so you can react in time. The other options aren’t about warning of an upcoming junction. A crocodile crossing sign isn’t a standard UK sign and wouldn’t apply in typical road settings. A speed limit sign is a circular mandatory sign that tells you the maximum speed, not that a junction is coming. A rectangular sign indicating no left turn is a regulatory or information sign, not a warning about an upcoming junction.
