Warning signs

Side road ahead (left)

A red triangle with a smaller road joining from the left warns that a side road meets your road on the left ahead. Traffic on the side road will be giving way to you, but be ready for vehicles emerging — especially in winter or when the side-road junction is partly hidden by hedges or buildings.
