Junction ahead controlled by a STOP or GIVE WAY sign
A red triangle with a black silhouette of a junction warns that the road ahead meets another at a controlled junction — there will be either a STOP sign (which requires a complete halt) or a GIVE WAY sign (slow and yield). Start preparing to stop now; don't wait until you see the actual sign at the junction itself.
