Which sign indicates the approach to a junction where vehicles on the main road have priority?

• A. Give way
• B. No entry
• C. Priority road
• D. Roundabout ahead

Answer: (C)

This is the priority road sign. It tells you that the road you’re on has priority at junctions ahead, so traffic joining from side roads must give way to you. You can continue without stopping for those junctions unless there’s a hazard. This differs from a give way sign, which means you must yield to traffic on the other road; no entry means you’re not allowed to enter that road; and roundabout ahead warns of a roundabout. In short, seeing this sign means you have priority on the main road at upcoming junctions.
