1. Junction layout

A junction layout is a schematic representation of the layout of an upcoming intersection or junction. It can show how roads branch, cross or continue and may help drivers understand which direction to follow before reaching the intersection.

Crossroad-shape diagrams are commonly used on advance direction signs. Depending on the country's sign system, the diagram may also distinguish the main road, side roads, route numbers or destinations.

Which Belgian sign can show the shape of an upcoming intersection?

The Belgian F25 advance-direction sign can show the different directions of the roads at an upcoming intersection in schematic form.

Does the Belgian F25 sign show every detail of the intersection?

No. The diagram intentionally omits secondary details such as traffic islands and verges so that the road layout and possible directions remain clear.

How is the priority road shown on a Belgian crossroad diagram?

When a road has priority at the intersection, it is represented on the F25 sign by a wider line than the other roads.
