Warning signs

50 yards to junction ahead controlled by a GIVE WAY sign

Countdown sign giving you 50 yards warning of a Give Way junction. You must slow down and give way to traffic on the major road – do not roll through. The short distance means you need to be ready to stop quickly. This sign is especially important on fast rural roads where the actual Give Way sign might be partly hidden. In the theory test this sign often appears in hazard-perception sequences to test whether you anticipate the need to give way early.
