Crossroads ahead
A red triangle with a black cross is a warning sign telling you that the road ahead is crossed by another road of equal priority. There's no give-way marking and no traffic lights — slow down, look both ways and be ready to give way to anyone already at the junction. Crossroads on rural roads can be deceptively dangerous because visibility is often poor.
